The New York Ripper

My review of The New York Ripper is online at FilmFreakCentral.net:

Fulci's killer stalks New York women and mutilates them with an unmistakably sexual aggression, although he's apparently not a rapist. He's a stock genre character except for one thing: he talks like Donald Duck, complete with frenzied quacking noises.
