2.0 out of 5 stars Don't bother with this Pamphlet-length Bio, March 4, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Lucio Fulci: Beyond the Gates (Paperback)

What a disapointment! I longed to get a good bio on good ole' "splinter in the eye" Fulci and got a hurriedly assembled, fan-boy pamphlet. Not only was the slender size a downer, so was the text. No insight or even critical assessment of Fulci the artist and his impact on European Horror films. Pass this one up folks! Read Spagetthi Nightmares instead, which profiles many Italian horror actors, writers and stars--and has real meat to it!

This review is from: Lucio Fulci: Beyond the Gates (Paperback)

If you are a big Italian cinema freak or just love Lucio Fulci, like I am, than this book is for you. This book by horror guru Chas Balun. It has a special introduction by the late maestro's daughter Antonella Fulci! It shows dozens of rare stills, lobby cards, publicity material, reviews, and cool essays for all the movies Lucio did. This great book also has a cool cover from THE BEYOND his best movie. Don't wait,get this book, you won't be sorry.

3.0 out of 5 stars A bit disapointing..., June 19, 2000

This review is from: Lucio Fulci: Beyond the Gates (Paperback)

I absolutely LOVE Lucio Fulci, so I had to get this book. I had also heard tons about Charles Balun but had never read any of his material up to the point where I bought this book. This book is a bit of a disapointment.

It seems to have been written in a hurry and is not much more than a detailed Fucli filmography which is, for the most part, a regurgitance of all the old Fucli information.

This book is a descent source of information, but how much information can a 30-minute book give you? Consider it, but don't get your hopes up.
