Fulci should stick to the bizarre

Fulci should stick to the bizarre.

The dialogue is impossibly bad. I see why Fulci really excels at horror films with little dialogue. I saw an English dub so that may be part of the problem. The direction is poor here - particularly with the action sequences. It's like someone gave Fulci a helicopter, and he decided to include everything he shot from his new toy! There was little regard for logic... or even suspense.

Bottomline is that if you give Fulci a dark house and a knife you'll be fine. But give the man helicopter and it all flies into the toilet.
