What happens
The New York Ripper (Italian: Lo squartatore di New York) is a 1982 Italian giallo slasher film directed by Lucio Fulci, who co-wrote the screenplay with Gianfranco Clerici, Vincenzo Mannino, and Dardano Sacchetti. The film is about a police lieutenant who is tracking a sadistic serial killer who slashes women with a switchblade and straight-razors across New York City. Shot in late August to October 1981 in New York with interiors being shot in Italy, the script was re-written by Sacchetti at the last moment prior to filming. It was released in 1982 in Italy and later in the United States in 1984 while being banned in the United Kingdom until 2002. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
