hey man, i've watched DON'T TORTURE A DUCKLING. its quite provocative with a lesbian pedophile and all. ORTOLANI's score was awesome. though the best piece of music is used very minimally. here is my review:

This film wasn't too bad. Not sure if it is a Giallo. The film begins with the a wide angle shot of a seemingly idyllic Italian village (like the one where Pacino escapes into in The Godfather). Then Riz Ortolani's sinister score sets in and there is a close up of an ugly and filthy woman burying bones in the sand. Nice way to catch the viewer's attention.

A backward Italian village rife with rituals and superstition becomes the focus of national attention when dead strangled kids start turning up all over the place. Then there is a bisexual paedophillic heiress (Barbaba Bouchert) who preys on small teenage boys. Tomas Milan (who looks like he would be perfect in a spaghetti western) is a journalist who is investigating the child murders.

We are often treated to images of pins being poked into dolls. The whole village wears a rather desolate look. While the village seems authentic, you can tell that Bouchet's room is clearly a set. It did have some nice set pieces though - especially the fish tank with the waves.

The violence is gratuitous and is highly stylized with a rock n roll song and a slow number playing in the background when Florinda Balkan is murdered. Ortolani's title score which has a nostalgic vibe is used to great effect in the final scenes.

(6/10)

i also watched a bit of this film called A LIZARD IN A WOMAN'S SKIN. it begins with this really beautiful lesbian dream sequence. but i lost interest because it was one of those giallo movies. i have come to the conclusion that im not a fan of them after sampling a few of them.
