DVD Reviews of Four of the Apocalypse
DVD Review: A Surprising Sentimental Moment for Fulci!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was delighted after watching this film! I am a huge fan of his horror films but, was blown away by several scenes in this film. The bonus behind the scene s feature is great too. The moment where the baby cries - wow. Lucio left us way too early. Buy this dude - you will dig it. DVD Review: I Felt Their Pain; Their Loss Was My Loss
Summary: 5 Stars
Lucio Fulci, Italian gore meister, shocked me with "Four of the Apocalypse." Except for the scene where Chaco is slicing a patch of skin from his captive's stomach, this movie isn't as gory as I suspected it would be. I don't understand why it was never released in America. It is a very emotional movie starring Italian hunk Fabio Testi who starred in one of my favorite Italian gialli, "What Have You Done to Solange?" It also has British beauty Lynne Frederick of Pete Walker's "Schizo" and Hammer Production's "Vampire Circus" - one of my favorite Hammer films.
Testi and Frederick are locked together in the town jail when the good people decide to massacre everyone in a nearby saloon. They are freed, along with two others, and head across the desert towards another town. They are befriended by Chaco who betrays, tortures, and leaves them to die in the hot desert sun. They do manage to survive the attack, but they have no food, water, or transportation. Testi, a gambler, vows to obtain revenge against Chaco.
"Four of the Apocalypse" is a violent, emotionally packed tour de force of betrayal and revenge. I became emotionally attached to the four friends who struggle to survive. There are several scenes where I cried. I felt their pain. Their loss was my loss. I was very glad when Testi got his revenge!!
A beautifully filmed movie, "Four of the Apocalypse," has grandiose scenes of breathtaking mountains and deserts. I especially enjoyed the snow falling on the mountain village. (During filming, Testi caught a bad flu and was bedridden for several days.) The pop 70's music was great; there were several songs I wanted to sing along with. Great direction was provided by Lucio Fulci who has proved that he was a great film director of all genres.
"Four of the Apocalypse" is a must have for all fans of Lucio Fulci. I will have to view other Westerns that he directed. I bought "Four of the Apocalypse" for my dad who is a fan of the Western genre. Even though he enjoyed this movie, I'm going to have to keep it for my own Lucio Fulci collection. I'm only joking.
DVD Review: Late Spaghetti Western Masterpiece from Horror legend, Lucio Fulci
Summary: 5 Stars
This being a Lucio Fulci movie, i obviously expected to see a ton of graphic violence and i did, but he didn't offer just some cool bloody western with this film. Actually it was much more than just that. The film was brutal, it was sad, it was beautiful. It had some many excellent moments all throughout it and the score was brilliant and completely set the tone for the film. This was a very emotional picture and it seems to be a really personal from Fulci. It really had some moments that were truly heart breaking, these characters were totally likable. And to see what the characters went through, you really felt bad. I think that this film could definitely go as far as being one of the greatest spaghetti westerns that i'd ever seen. And that comes from a great genre with a ton of great pictures under it's belt. If you're a fan of Fulci's but have not seen this you'll most likely be very pleasantly surprised as i was. Two thumbs up!
