LUCIO FULCI'S HORROR AND THRILLER - Recensione su Synergy Magazine (Settembre 2008 - Australia) - Inglese

In 1996 the world lost a master of the
macabre. He was a strange and eccentric
filmmaker who will be as much
remembered for his gruff exterior as
for his obsessive dedication to his
genre, but nevertheless he was a true
horror maestro. Sadly, in live, he was
often overshadowed by Dario Argento,
at least in the public eye, and
yet when we look in retrospect at the
history of Italian Horror The Beyond
certainly stands up there with Suspiria
and indeed all of Fulci’s films stand
the test of time rather well. Indeed,
today, many believe that his work embodies
the spirit of macabre and confronting
horror better than Argento,
Bava and others.
He was certainly a flexible filmmaker
who spending some half a century
honing his craft, worked in a wide
range of genres; however, from the
Seventies onwards his horror films
were the most successful. Visceral,
violent, confronting and twisted are
words that
come to
mind when
describing
his output.
One of the
things that
marked all
of Fulci’s
films was
his superior
use ofsound, whether it be ambient or environmental
sound effects or his
soundtracks, Fulci seemed to have
an innate knack to choose just the
right sound for the right scene to increase
the level of gore and horror a
hundred fold. His musical choices
were always varied and included
regular use of both progressive rock
and jazz, in many cases these seemingly
unusual choices helped make
his films so much more than simply
visual experience.
This impressive CD, Lucio
Fulci:Horror and Thriller includes music
from seven of his more memorable
films; Una Lucertola Con La Pelle
Di Donna, Lo Squareatore Di New
York, Quella Villa Accanto Al Cimitero,
Manhattan Baby, L’Aldila, Demonia
and Door to Silence by such
names as Ennio Morricone, Fablo
Frizzi, Walter Rizzati and others.
These are quite exceptional choices,
all are noteworthy and offer truly
memorable audio experience.
They are even better if you have seen
the films, they will trigger some truly
horrifying sensations in the back of
your head as you listen to the music
and remember the scenes in your
imagination.
As per normal Beat Records practice,
this is a high quality recording, beautifully
presented.
There is a lovely booklet discussing
each of the films (in English and
Italian) with some great pictures
and images from the films. If you
haven’t seen them, the summaries
and the music will certainly peak
your interest !
Lucio Fulci’s Horror and Thriller is a
great soundtrack CD and one
which will be of interest not only to horror
film buffs and soundtrack collectors
but to anyone interested in the unique
progressive rock and jazz sound of the
Seventies and Eighties.
