Tremble is a horror podcast that cuts through hype to figure out what actually works, whether a movie is trying to scare you, make you laugh, or do both at once.
On this episode, the Tremble crew heads into the grimy streets of early 1980s Manhattan with The New York Ripper, Lucio Fulci’s controversial and deeply divisive giallo slasher. As a sadistic serial killer stalks and murders women across New York City while taunting police with a bizarre duck like voice, detectives race to stop the violence before more victims fall prey to the killer’s brutality. Kurt, Taylor, and Steve break down the film’s reputation for extreme violence, its sleazy atmosphere, and how Fulci blends procedural mystery with exploitation horror. The discussion explores the film’s place within the giallo genre, its controversial treatment of violence, and whether its shock value overshadows its filmmaking strengths. They also examine why The New York Ripper remains one of Fulci’s most notorious and debated works decades after its release.
