Line 1: {{~~trope~~creator}} [[File:lucio_fulci.jpg\|frame]] {{quote\|''Fulci's attention to gruesome detail is so excessive it's ridiculous, approaching [[Gorn\|blood porn]].''\|'''VideoHound's Cult Flicks & Trash Pics'''}} '''Lucio Fulci''' was an Italian screenwriter and director, best known for splattery [[Giallo\|gialli]] and [[Horror Tropes\|horror]] films (though he also made [[Western\|westerns]] and comedies). His films seldom pass up an excuse for gore, and the effects are consistently over-the-top — sometimes horrifyingly convincing, sometimes [[Special Effect Failure\|amusingly fake]], but always extreme. His films are driven by theme rather than visual style; they tend to be deeply pessimistic, and propelled toward nihilistic [[Downer Ending\|Downer Endings]]. == {{filmography\|His best-known films (all from the period 1971-1982) are: ==}}▼ ~~-----~~ ▲== His best-known films (all from the period 1971-1982) are: == * ''Lizard in a Woman's Skin'', a psychedelic [[Police Procedural]]. * ''Don't Torture a Duckling'', an extremely pessimistic ''giallo'' touching on themes of small-town xenophobia as the townspeople suspect all of the "outsiders" for a rash of child-murders. * ''Four of the Apocalypse'', a dark [[Spaghetti Western]] based on stories by Bret Harte. * ''[[Zombi 2]]'' (known as ''Zombie Flesh Eaters'' in the UK and ''Zombie'' in the US), where a Caribbean island is infested with zombies. Titled ''Zombi 2'' because ''[[Dawn of the Dead (~~Film~~film)\|Dawn of the Dead]]'' was titled ''Zombi'' in Italy. * ''[[City of the Living Dead]]'', zombie flick with religious tyings which was followed by two loose "sequels" (Read below) * ''[[The Beyond]]'' (a.k.a. ''Seven Doors of Death''), a sad, thoughtful horror film based on the works of [[HPH.P. Lovecraft]] and [[Clark Ashton Smith]]. Features extra zombies thanks to [[Executive Meddling]]. * ''[[The House Byby the Cemetery]]'', a [[Mind Screw]] [[Haunted House]] film. Features a character named [[Meaningful Name\|Freudstein]] and [[All Psychology Is Freudian\|goes from there]]. * ''The New York Ripper'', a [[Serial Killer]] film widely decried as misogynistic and has a serial killer that sounds like ''[[Donald Duck]]''.
