Nice grotty flick
4 December 2004 | by (Melbourne, Australia) – See all my reviews

Note: I'm bias as I'm a huge Fulci fan... I've seen around 20 of his films and the only one I really disliked was Sodoma's Ghost.

With that out of the way... Touch of Death is probably my favourite of Fulci's later films along with Voices From Beyond. TOfD a really mean spirited black comedy... very funny at times with a few horribly gory bits thrown in. It opens with a blast as we see Lester chowing down on some rich girl's rump... there's something very dirty about it straight away, I'm not quite sure what it is. Lester then cuts the bejesus out of what's left of the corpse and feeds it to his pigs (lovely). There are so many bizarre elements in this film that seem to be there for no real reason except make the audience go "what the hell!". A fat girl with a mustache and sideburns, harelip antics, a bum with a weird symbol on his head, gambling nasties and a RIDICULOUS "twist" (I won't give it away, but honestly, what was Fulci thinking?!). But these factors all add to the experience. I especially love the way how nastily the women are portrayed... Jesus! How about another close up of Lester's disgusted face before having to kiss a deformed woman! Ahh Fulci, you strange bastard. Oh I should also mention Brett Halsey really cracked me up in this, much better than his performance in Demonia. He has a great presence and I didn't recognize him till he shaved off that monster on his face. Highly recommended for Fulci fans (can't say I could recommend it to anyone else).
