Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Don't Torture a Duckling is a 1972 Giallo film directed by Lucio Fulci.When several young boys are brutally murdered in a small southern Italian village, the superstitious locals react with ignorance and violence. All misfits are immediately suspected, such as big-city tart Patrizia, local village idiot Giuseppe, and voodoo practitioner Maciara. A cop named Martelli comes to investigate, and is rather curious about a young priest, Don Alberto, who censors the town's reading material to keep it free of corruption. No one is truly innocent in this town.The film's score was composed by Riz Ortolani, of Mondo Cane and Cannibal Holocaust fame.The film is Darker and Edgier than most other gialli of the time period, and Fulci himself considered it his best film.

Death of a Child: Death of children is more like it. Three — and later four — boys are killed, and a girl is nearly thrown off a cliff.

Disney Villain Death: Don Alberto's fall from a cliff is probably one of the most gruesome examples ever, which is ironically not very Disney. We even see his face getting smashed by the crags in slow-motion mid-plummet.

Extreme Mêlée Revenge: Maciara is beaten up by the bereaved fathers of the slain children, which is made obvious if you remember their heavily focused faces in several earlier scenes.
