I like it too as it's just a fun movie without a serious plot or the startling imagery you would expect from a Fulci film. As you say, it is just like Fulci having a bit of fun and thumbing his nose at the censors. It's nowhere near films like Zombi 2, The Beyond or City of the Living Dead in terms of the screenwriting, acting or direction but, if you don't take it seriously, it can be good fun.

And back to Duckling - who else thinks the death of the 'witch' inspired Fulci's opening for The Beyond?

Me, me, me!
No seriously, first time I watched "The Beyond" the "witch" opening hit me like a sledge hammer- but that was really nothing compared to the prior similar scene in "Duckling", which has that extra intense emotional punch with Fulci making a poit about the whole "lynch mob mentality", a point I would still call valid today. The scene with "Bob" in "City of the living Dead"- while strangly out of place with the rest of the movie coherence-wise - falls also in the same category, though "Duckling" is the one which gets it best and most truthful.

Yeah,nice bit of chainwhipping didn't do anyone any harm.
The authorities should introduce it here for some of the scum on our streets.

I'd almost forgotten about this with the new artwork for Almost Human being announced and the clock ticking down to the Cannibal Holocaust release.

Sarah must be extremely busy at the moment and, as far as consumers go, that's a good thing!
