Our take

Death stalks the neon-lit streets of 1980s New York City in Lucio Fulci’s infamously nasty cocktail of slasher gore, giallo stylization, and exploitation thrills. Serving up a succession of carnal titillations and gruesome murders, this provocative vision of urban sleaze chills to the bone.
