	Lucio Fulci - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lucio Fulci (June 17, 1927 - March 13, 1996) was an Italian film director, screenwriter, and actor.
		He is best known for his directorial work on some of the goriest horror films ever made, including Zombi II (1979) and The Beyond (1981), although he made films in genres as diverse as giallo, western, and comedy.
		Some of Fulci's fans have retroactively argued that at his peak, Fulci's fame and popularity were on a par with that of Dario Argento, another famous Italian horror movie director that Fulci had avoided working with and openly badmouthed.

	Lucio Fulci
		Fulci was propelled onto the horror/gore scene in 1979 with "Zombie," a copy of "Dawn of the Dead" that had the audacity to market itself in Europe as a sequel to that film.
		Fulci never would never make a better or more successful movie, although Quentin Tarantino is a big fan of his later zombie film, "The Beyond," which Tarantino re-released to theaters in 1998.
		But Fulci never stopped attempting to top "Zombie." One of his films, "The New York Ripper," was so controversial that it was banned in many countries and reportedly didn't even make a profit.

	Lucio Fulci (1927 - 1996)
		Lucio Fulci (born June 17, 1927 in Rome, Italy - died March 13, 1996 in Rome, Italy (diabetes-related illness)) was an Italian film director, screenwriter and actor.
		Lucio "King of the Eyeball Gag" Fulci made his name with a series of gory, gooey horror epics, and The Beyond stands above all as his outré masterpiece.
		The blood-red art direction is eerily beautiful, and Fulci's relentless long takes, punctuated by jolting shock cuts and eruptions of grotesque violence, create a mood of sheer paranoid horror right down to the final, mind-bending image.

	Lucio Fulci: Godfather of Gore
		I will never forget the eye ball puncturing scene or the shark attack from "Zombies", the drill scene from "The Gates of Hell", the little girl having the side of her head removed by a gunshot in "The Beyond", or the guy being quartered in "Demonia".
		Fulci used gore to its fullest potential without making it the main focus of his films and for those who think it was, you are missing out on the atmosphere and beauty of his work.
		Also, Fulci just as Argento, was wonderful at using music for the atmosphere of his films.

	Lucio Fulci
		Lucio Fulci is best remembered for his delirious hallucinatory and visceral horror films of the late 1970s and early 1980s.
		Fulci's success in presenting gore anchors on his acute understanding of violence against bodies as reliant on the particular significations of the parts of the body being destroyed, rather than a semiotic destruction of flesh in general, hence his propensity for showing eyeball puncturing.
		Fulci seems more to be possessed of a certain conceptual world, a fleshy and dark world which insinuates the infinity of possibilities of thought and the affectivity of art beyond signification itself, even subversive signification.

	Biography for Lucio Fulci (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Lucio Fulci, born in Rome in 1927, remains as controversial in death as he was in life.
		In 1971 and 1972, Fulci re-established himself in the thriller arena, directing two excellent gialli: Una lucertolla con la pelle di donna (A Lizard in a Woman's Skin) and Non si sevizia un paperino (Don't Torture the Duckling).
		A serious diabetic, Fulci inexplicably forgot to take his insulin before retiring to bed; some consider his death a suicide, others consider it an accident, but his many fans all consider it to be a tragedy.

	The Terror Trap: Directors: Lucio Fulci
		There are two terms which have been used to describe Lucio Fulci: "the godfather of gore" and "horror hack." Whatever you think of his movies, there's no denying the man had a visual style and imagination all his own.
		Not one to be pigeonholed, the director worked on all types of genres until concentrating on horror films by the early 70s.
		Fulci never did care much for his critics, and fans of his wouldn't have it any other way.

	Teleport City Reading Room: BEYOND TERROR: THE FILMS OF LUCIO FULCI
		Known to fans as the "godfather of gore," Fulci pushed the envelope of what was and was not acceptable gore and violence in a film.
		Fulci was a rebel, a system bucker who would intentionally go out and do the things he was told he could not do.
		Attention is paid to Fulci's non-horror films as well, giving a much better view of the man and his career than has previously ever been available.

	Gerald Peary - essays - Lucio Fulci
		Except among advanced splatter-movie geeks, few in America are familiar with the blood-drenched horror cinema of Lucio Fulci, whose 1981 L'Aldila (The Beyond) (aka 7 Doors of Death) plays midnights at the Coolidge Corner.
		The director stars as himself, Lucio Fulci, an increasingly deranged horror director becoming totally bonkers in the midst of filmmaking.
		Then Fulci breaks for lunch, and almost spits up when the waiter at a stuffy restaurant brings over the special of the day, steak tartare.

	The Films of Lucio Fulci
		Lots of gore and nudity (some of which was cribbed for use in Fulci's A Cat in the Brain), including a wicked chainsaw decapitation of an 8 year old boy and an off-the-wall twist ending.
		Rare, uncut, letterboxed print of Lucio Fulci's first landmark genre film about a woman who has had psychic visions since childhood (she saw her mother throw herself off a cliff - the gore highlight).
		Artsy Lucio Fulci "erotic" murder-mystery about a doctor who thinks that his wife died leaving him a $2 million insurance policy, until he meets a stripper/prostitute who is the spitting image of his wife, and the plot thickens with plenty of twists.

		Lucio Fulci managed to pull of this feat for an entire quartet, often referred to as his zombie cycle.
		Fulci likens this experience to a cat clawing inside his head, shown literally in graphic detail as a furry kitty puppet flopping around in gooey cerebral matter.
		Scene for scene, this may be Fulci's goriest film, and this aspect alone has earned it some fan loyalty; on another level, it's a bizarre cry for understanding, as Fulci appears to be exorcising demons and coming to terms with the nastier pitfalls of his chosen profession.

	MORE FILMS OF LUCIO FULCI
		Fulci's love for marauding animals is once again present, as actors are menaced by cobras, scuttling scorpions lurking in office furniture, and most memorably, a stuffed bird which comes to life during the squishy, downbeat climax.
		Fulci's use of the zoom lens produces some unsightly excessive grain in a few shots, but otherwise the colors and detail are stable and pleasing to the eye.
		As with the previous letterboxed version, a thick vertical line appears during a handful of shots on the extreme right of the frame during the opening five minutes, but considering this flaw also appears in the excellent theatrical trailer (included on the disc as well), the glitch was an inherent part of the original negative.

		Between 1988-1991 Fulci directed some of his weakest work ever, several of the movies were made for Italian TV, they are quite full of some trademark Fulci gore, but story wise they just don't work.
		Scenes of Fulci aimlessly wandering around, mixed with the gorier scenes from several of the previously directed TV movies and titles Fulci either supervised or produced make up a gory greatest hits package with out much story line, but it's good for laughs, as the gore just keeps on coming.

		Lucio Fulci...while many may not be familiar with the name or his work, he has developed a dedicated and even hardcore audience, mostly due to the extremely graphic nature of the horror films he made from the late 70's into the 80's.
		Fans of Fulci's stylistic approach to visceral gore will enjoy the inclusion of a smattering of graphic scenes here (brains, puss leaking sores, gore spurting wounds), but it's nowhere near the levels in his horror films, so they may be ultimately dissatisfied.
		Fulci packed "Conquest" to the rafters with truly mind-deadening dialogue, bad acting, ridiculous situations, poorly choreographed fight scenes, gore, zombies, pustules, nudity, fog, and cheesy special effects.

		When Fulci died unexpectantly in 1996, he had by help of Dario Argento recovered from illness and poverty and was now looking forward to again renew his career.
		Though Fulci never got the chance to start shooting his promising "come-back" film, and will probably remain unknown to the mainstream filmenthusiast, he will will always be reserved a special place among fans of horror and euro-trash as a daring and original European director.
