One of the most notorious and indefensible slasher films ever made, Italian gutslinger Lucio Fulci's hideous THE NEW YORK RIPPER offers up a Big Apple murder mystery that's dripping with sex, sleaze, vulgarity and shockingly graphic (and genuinely disturbing) gore. But outside of the saturation of grime seen on screen, Fulci manages to draw the whole unsavory enterprise together with style and elegance, delivering some of his best directorial work and most bizarre suspense set pieces. Controversial and rough, THE NEW YORK RIPPER still packs a punch!
