La Longue Nuit de l'exorcisme

Un des films qui prouvent clairement que Lucio Fulci n'était pas seulement un faiseur de mauvais films, mais aussi un réalisateur talentueux. Un thriller dramatique, dont seul le temps de projection excessif peut être reproché du point de vue du cinéma. Un thriller conventionnel sur la recherche d'un tueur, formellement encadré dans un environnement non conventionnel. Bien sûr, le film se distingue par la prise de vue fétichiste de Fulci sur les détails, accentuée par une musique étrangement fonctionnelle. Le film n'a pratiquement pas de personnage principal et se concentre sur plusieurs acteurs, qu'il représente de manière variable de suspects à innocents et vice versa. On apprécie la tension sexuelle provocatrice entourant l'un des personnages les plus marquants, incarné par la magnifique Barbara Bouchet. (23/06/2003)

"Do not torture a duckling" is a film that stands out in the giallo genre. Just by being set in the countryside rather than a big city, it evokes a different atmosphere, as if it were a prelude to a slightly different concept. And that is indeed the case. Additionally, Fulci has a talent for incredibly powerful scenes. In this case, it is a scene where a woman is beaten and then desperately hopes for rescue at the last moment. But she does not receive it. People around her simply drive by. This is something that sends shivers down one's spine. (12/04/2014)

The best of Fulci’s Giallo. Horror movie of the Year. (31/12/2010)

According to the reviews here, this slightly morbid giallo film is quite OK. Well, I don’t really think so because other than the scene involving the naked Italian actress who was trying to seduce a 10-year-old boy, I only enjoyed one other scene that I had to wait for until the very end. An average course of investigation that looked like a combination of French crime movies and Italian naughty movies reached a conclusion that literally took my breath away. You see, the final fight was like an absolutely brutal Italian Fight Club. Brutal, illogical and in the end also bloody. I had to watch the scene twice because I haven’t seen something this funny in a movie for a long time. Thank you, Mr. Fulci, you kept low-key during the entire movie but you sure had a lot of fun with the ending. (27/02/2017)
