In the movie, “When the sleepy rural village of Accendura is rocked by a series of murders of young boys, the superstitious locals are quick to apportion blame, with the suspects including the local ‘witch,’ Maciara (Florinda Bolkan).

“With the bodies piling up and the community gripped by panic and a thirst for bloody vengeance, two outsiders – city journalist Andrea (Tomas Milian) and spoiled rich girl Patrizia (Barbara Bouchet) – team up to crack the case. But before the mystery is solved, more blood will have been spilled, and not all of it belonging to innocents…”

Don’t Torture a Duckling is significant in Fulci’s career for being his first foray into extreme gore effects, eventually earning the filmmaker the nickname The Godfather of Gore.
