The Psychic
Fulci does a clockwork giallo. A woman's vision of a murder turns out to be her own future.
One of Lucio Fulci's most controlled and least gory films, a precisely engineered giallo about a woman with psychic flashes who has a vision of a murder and slowly realises she is seeing not the past but her own approaching death. The plot works like a clock, every image paying off.
It is a change of pace from Fulci's splatter, closer to Hitchcock than to Zombi 2, and it is clever about how its premonition fits together. Quentin Tarantino borrowed its score for Kill Bill.

Filed alongside
▶ watchcultDeath Walks at Midnight
Ercoli's brighter, faster Death Walks. Nieves Navarro sees a murder and nobody buys it.
▶ watchcultThe Perfume of the Lady in Black
Barely a murder mystery. A slow psychological collapse, and superb.
▶ watchcultThe Fifth Cord
The best-looking giallo nobody names, shot by Storaro between two Bertoluccis.
▶ watchcultThe Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave
A widower lures redheads to his castle to get over his dead wife. Nonsense plot, glorious mood.
▶ watchcultDeath Walks on High Heels
Ercoli's best. Structurally cleverer than most of the cycle.
▶ watchcultShort Night of Glass Dolls
Narrated by a paralysed man presumed dead. Unusual and very good.
