Touch of Death
Directed by Lucio Fulci
Produced by Alpha Cinematografica
A darkly comedic horror-thriller about a cannibal serial killer whose scheme unravels when a copycat threatens his operation, balancing graphic gore with irreverent humor.
The financially strained and increasingly desperate, Lester Parsons concocts a brilliant get-rich-quick scheme; cruise the lonely hearts ads for rich women to fleece. Too bad then, that Lester’s also a psychotic cannibal who enjoys mutilating these lovelorn souls, via his trusty chainsaw, and using their flesh for his dinner. When a copycat killer threatens to bring him down, Lester must do all he can to prevent this new killer’s sloppy work from ruining them both.
