I know, the amount of my mates who have refused to watch a film because it's subtitled.
It's different if your one of them types that take ages to read something, you know like when you was at school and had to read aloud, there was probably at least one kid in every class going "W-W-W-W-One day I w-w-w-went f-f-f-f-fo-for a wa-w-wal-wal- walk" and you used to sit there thinking "**** sake just read it" and it wasn't even like they stuttered or anything.

I've never seen this. Yes, I should be ashamed. After watching Footprints, Flavia The Heretic and Women In A Lizards Skin though, I can't go wrong watching anything with Florinda Bolkan!

As good as those three films are. I think you may be in for something of a revelation when you see ...Duckling!

Yes, it really is that excellent.

[Stephen@Cult Labs]

Fantastic. Looking forward to it very much.

You are indeed in for a treat as I rate Don't Torture a Duckling above Lizard in a Woman's Skin, several steps above Flavia The Heretic and it is easily on a par with Footprints. It is up there with The Beyond as Fulci's best film but it is much more narratively coherent and with arguably better performances.

My order of best are:

Duckling
Lizard
Flavia
Footprints

Great choice and one of Fulci's best films, I hope the dvd will include the deleted scene from the Italian dvd and possibly both English and Italian audio tracks.

Let's hope for Seven Notes In Black next!

Cool! Looking forward to artwork

Super super scoop Shameless!!!! Terrific film and at last a UK release. Only watched my ABUS release of couple of weeks ago and it really is a good movie. Highly recommended guys. I will only buy again though, if someone wants to buy or trade my ABUS disk!!! This should be a great release though. Brave of Shameless to take this up though, especially with the subject matter.
