Title: If you like your horror really dark and weird, then this is for you
Product review: Although the Italian horror/slasher genre of the 1970's includes many films that aren't exactly Disney-esque, I found "The New York Ripper" to be a particularly unpleasant ride. Lurid violence, depressing cinematography (90% of the film is dark and grainy), and choppy (no pun intended) storytelling made this more of an ordeal than the guilty pleasure I expected. Check out "Strip Nude For Your Killer" and "The Case of the Bloody Iris" for more polished, entertaining examples of the "giallo" form. That is, unless you really, really want to see a movie about a serial killer who quacks like a duck.
