Friday Film Showcased, Episode 5: Giallo – Don’t Torture a Duckling (1972)

For many years, with regard to their film-watching, Ciara and Conor have been theming their months. On Friday Film Showcased (FFS to friends, and sometimes enemies), they look back on themes gone by.

In the quintus episode of FFS, Ciara and Conor continue their discussion of the giallo genre with a deep dive on Lucio Fulci’s 1972 masterpiece, Don’t Torture a Duckling. Spoilers abound! You can find our previous instalment, where we discussed giallo more broadly, here. (Including an edition in which all screams have been replaced by bunny noises. How relaxing!)

And make sure to tune in to the end of the episode for Conor’s original song inspired by the film!
