Don’t Torture a Duckling is a triumphant giallo from Italian horror legend Lucio Fulci (Zombie, The Beyond). A sleepy rural village is rocked by the murders of young boys and superstitious locals are quick to point blame, with the suspects including a local witch (Florinda Bolkan, A Lizard in a Woman’s Skin). With bodies piling up and the community gripped by panic, two outsiders team up to crack the case. Deemed shocking at the time for its brutal violence, depiction of the Catholic Church, and themes of child murder, Don’t Torture a Duckling is widely regarded today as one of Fulci’s greatest giallos, rivaling the best work of Dario Argento.
