I am going to make it short and sweet this time. What a great, visually stunning thriller! A giallo of the highest caliber, this ranks among Lucio Fulci's best works and is equal to what Dario Argento has ever done. Some critics say that this movie is a masterpiece and I agree with them. The Catholic Church hates Non si sevizia un paperino and wants you not to see it. That alone is a reason why everybody must see it. The priests persecuted Fulci for years, and prevented US theatrical release altogether. Those fucking bastards.
