4 Shots From 4 Films: Perversion Story, Zombi 2, The Beyond, The New York Ripper


header

20 years ago today, the great Italian director Lucio Fulci passed away in Rome.  In the years following his death, Fulci has somehow managed to be both one of the most influential and one of the most underappreciated directors of all time.  This edition of 4 Shots From 4 Films is dedicated to Fulci’s memory and his legacy.

(We’ve dedicated two editions of 4 Shots From 4 Films to Fulci in the past.  Take a look at them here and here.  Fortunately, Fulci was one of the most visually inventive directors of all time.  Even the lesser, low-budget films that he made towards the end of his career can be counted on to offer up at least one memorably surreal shot.)

One response to “4 Shots From 4 Films: Perversion Story, Zombi 2, The Beyond, The New York Ripper

  1. With Fulci, people usually concentrate on the gore/atmosphere, which are both impressive. People tend to look to Argento and Bava for the better visual compositions, but you picked some great shots here. I haven’t seen Perversion Story.
