The New York Ripper (1982)
Speaking of Lucio Fulci, this must-watch giallo from the cult horror director (The Beyond, City of the Living Dead, The House by the Cemetery) has so many bizarre elements peppered throughout its gruesome crime story about a razor-wielding maniac terrorizing New York City. It opens with a memorable scene in which a dog trots up to its horrified owner with a severed human hand clamped in its mouth; it offers an amazing showcase for Manhattan’s long-lost seedy districts; it gives us a Fulci cameo as the chief of police; and its killer has a fondness for making crank calls while speaking like Donald Duck. Watch on Shudder.
