Reviews:

An astonishing and daring giallo, a classic in its type.
Lucio Fulci, later known for his graphic horror films like The Beyond and Zombie, was years earlier a master of the Italian giallo (in the company of Argento and Bava) with films like A Lizard In A Woman’s Skin and his masterpiece, Don’t Torture A Duckling. This film has all the elements of the Italian mystery/thriller genre known as the giallo, but really pulls the viewers in by having each key character with a skeleton in his/her own closet. This keeps you doing as much detective work as the detectives in the film itself. Who is killing the young boys in town? The young rich woman who is so bored that she sexually taunts the eventual victims, the reporter who likes to tamper with a crime scene to get a better photo shot, the townswoman with a mentally retarded daughter, the local witch, the town idiot….the list goes on, and you have to keep mental notes like a true game to play and solve. The themes in this film are very daring and done with that perfect Italian style in the early 1970s. It is certain that no American studio would have even considered making a film of such strong content, and that is precisely why this is such a satisfying film (despite some unusual accent choices for the dubbing) and will definitely have people discussing its meanings long after viewing it. As the saying goes, they don’t make them like this anymore, so get a copy and cherish an important film like this one!

A surprisingly good giallo from Lucio Fulci.
I’ve given old Lucio Fulci a lot of flack for his movies in the past, but have persevered with watching his back catalogue in the hope of finding something worthwhile; and, by Jove, I think I’ve at last found a film by the prolific director that is worthy of praise.

I had heard that Fulci’s giallos were his best work, and chose the one rated the highest on IMDb, LIzard In A Woman’s Skin, to see if this was true; I didn’t like it and almost gave up on ever watching Don’t Torture A Duckling, his other well known addition to the genre. Fortunately, I decided to give Fulci one last go, and am glad I did: Don’t Torture A Duckling is without a doubt the director’s best film and is also one of the best giallos that I have seen.

A spate of child murders in a rural Italian town has left the locals in shock. After incorrectly arresting both the town idiot and the local crazy woman, the police are baffled as to who the killer is. There are plenty of other suspects who could be the murderer and, in true giallo style, the identity of the psycho responsible is only revealed in the final moments. Until that point, Fulci not only fills his satisfyingly sick story with plenty of twists and turns, but also finds time for some gratuitous nudity (courtesy of the gorgeous Barbara Bouchet) and even a smattering of his signature gore, which is used sparingly but effectively.

Fans of Fulci’s later splatter ‘classics’ might find this film too ‘dry’ for their taste, and perhaps a little slow moving. Giallo aficionados, however, will appreciate the lovely cinematography, great score and satisfyingly logical conclusion (yes, this is one Italian murder/mystery that actually seems to make sense!).

Even if, like me, you think you have seen enough Fulci films to last you a lifetime, give Don’t Torture A Duckling a go—it’s worth it.

8.5 out of 10 (rounded up to 9 for IMDb).
