A review of Italian director Lucio Fulci’s atmospheric horror fantasy Manhattan Baby Manhattan Baby (aka Eye of the Evil Dead) was made and released at the tail end of Italian gore god Lucio Fulci’s spate of extreme, fantastical early 80s horror golden period. And because the movie lacks the baroque, explicit frissons of signature works like Zombie, The Gates of Hell or The New York Ripper, many fans both casual and hardcore have long dismissed the picture as a lesser work.
