I don't think Fulci fumbled at all on this one. Forget it as a straight horror film and place it instead within the Giallo canon, and you'll see why it's so effective. It basically takes all the Giallo elements and cranks it up to 10. It's an uber violent Giallo for sure, but I also think it's one of Fulci's best films. I'd definitely rate it as highly as his quartet of horror films.
