'Touch of Death' follows the gory misadventures of subdued psychopath Lester Parson (Brett Halsey) as he goes about his business seeking out lonely desperate (and mainly hideously unattractive) women in the newspaper classifieds section whom he seduces, plies with booze then maims and slices before dining on their flesh! His brutal doings don't go unnoticed as he soon becomes victim to an extortion attempt by a local tramp and that combined with his growing gambling debts leads to some rash moves by the desperate unhinged loner in this comically dark rare Fulci gem.

Little gore, lots of boredom. A simple story of a gigolo with a "specialty" in widows who have a few things in common: they all have various physical defects (e.g. pronounced beards), they are all rich and all, or both, are murdered. The script, of course, is practically nonexistent, the performances are also poor, and all the gore, such as a body dismembered with a chainsaw or a head roasted in a microwave, takes place within the first twenty minutes. For the rest of the hour, nothing happens, the viewer is just constantly presented with how nervous the main character is, full of fear of being caught, and the boredom lasts and lasts and lasts until the end.

Touch of Death is a film that impresses with its humor and its lightness. It's evident that Fulci mainly filmed just to film and to have fun. The story is simpler and it is more of an anecdote, but I think the author managed to convey what he wanted. If you don't mind gore scenes, I think you'll have a pretty good time with it. The film quickly flies by, which is also nice.
