My Take
To me, Lucio Fulci is far more than the gore merchant his reputation suggests. Yes, his giallo and zombie films earned him a cult following through sheer visceral excess, but what I find compelling is the artistry hiding inside the carnage. Films like The House by the Cemetery and The Psychic trade in a dreamlike, fatalistic dread that Hollywood horror rarely achieves. The fact that he also handled comedies and spaghetti Westerns reveals a genuine craftsman, not a one-trick provocateur. I think Fulci deserves to be reassessed as a real visual stylist whose cruelty was always in service of mood and atmosphere.
