Directed by Lucio Fulci • 1982 • Italy
Starring Jack Hedley, Almanta Suska, Howard Ross
A blade-wielding psychopath is on the loose, turning the Big Apple bright red with the blood of beautiful young women. As NYPD detective Fred Williams (Jack Hedley) follows the trail of butchery from the decks of the Staten Island Ferry to the sex shows of Times Square, each brutal murder becomes a sadistic taunt. In the city that never sleeps, the hunt is on for the killer that can’t be stopped! Cowritten and directed by acclaimed horror maestro Lucio Fulci and filmed on location, THE NEW YORK RIPPER is one of the Godfather of Gore’s most savage and controversial thrillers.
