An ugly, unpleasant, repugnant film. How much of that is intentional or just down to lazy, misjudged choices on Fulci’s part is hard to say. The New York Ripper certainly has its defenders but I just can’t get into it. Saying that, I’ve now watched it twice and must admit that it is memorable for all the reasons I dislike it. The razor slicing into the girl’s eyeball is classic Fulci. Everything else is…not. I need a shower.
