Don't Torture a Duckling 1972  N/R, 102 min.
Genre: Foreign / Thriller
Director: Lucio Fulci
Cast: Barbara Bouchet, Tomas Milian, Florinda Bolkan, Irene Papas, Marc Porel, Vito Passeri, Georges Wilson, Antonello Campodifiori, Andrea Aureli, Franco Balducci, Rosalia Maggio
After young boys are murdered in a quiet Sicilian town, various people are accused–including a magician (Florinda Bolkan) who practices voodoo and visitor Patrizia (Barbara Bouchet). Villagers take matters into their own hands, and Patrizia teams with newsman Andrea (Tomas Milian) to find out what's going on. Good, with some brutal scenes but not like the gory Fulci films to follow.
