Review: This review pertains to the blu-ray by Scorpion Releasing - (5 stars for the blu-ray, 3 ½ stars for the film) Lucio Fulci's 1984 giallo "Murder Rock" while far from being one of his best films, is also not nearly as bad as many of its detractors would lead you to believe. I actually find it to be a decent little movie. It is filled with some stylish direction (which reminded me of Fulci's contemporary Dario Argento in places), gorgeous female dancers in various states of very revealing attire or no attire at all, a soundtrack by none other than Keith Emerson, solid acting and a nice little murder mystery. The lack of hardly any gore in the film might surprise some people who expecting something akin to Fulci's celebrated splatter horror offerings such as "Zombie", "City of the Living Dead", "The Beyond", and "House by the Cemetery" might be disappointed. But "Murder Rock" is not that type of film being more similar to his controversial and just plain mean spirited 1982 giallo "The New York Ripper" but without the extreme violence and viciousness which caused that film to be banned or heavily cut in a lot of territories. "Murder Rock" was definitely cashing in a bit on the 1983 smash hit "Flashdance" as all as 1980's "Fame" to a certain extent with its focus on sultry women dancing but it is by no means a ripoff either. It is really evident that Fulci was trying a bit with this one even it does not reach the heights of his abilities as a filmmaker. Keep your expectations in check and it is worth checking out in my opinion. "Murder Rock" gets a terrific blu-ray courtesy by Scorpion Releasing. The transfer features a 2K transfer & restoration from the original camera negative completed in 2018. The film is presented in its original 1.66:1 theatrical aspect ratio utilizing the AVC codec on a dual layer disc featuring a hefty bit rate often times getting into the low to mid 30's. Detail is wonderful with spot on contrast and black levels. No digital sharpening or noise reduction appears to have been done. Fleshtones look accurate which is a plus due to all of the female flesh on display. For a film that often times gets regarded as one of Fulci's lesser efforts, this special edition blu-ray presents the movie in style and probably looks better than the film ever has. Audio is presented in 2 channel master audio in either English or Italian. English subtitles are included but are accurate for the Italian dub but often times do not match the original English dialogue. Extras are as follows: - Commentary by film historian and Fulci expert Troy Howarth - Interview with actress Geretta Geretta (25:11 HD) - Interview with make-up artist Franco Casagni (13:40 HD) - Theatrical trailer (2:37 SD) "Murder Rock" gets another opportunity to be discovered thanks to this terrific blu-ray by Scorpion Releasing. The movie is a decent little murder mystery and looks better than it ever has on this disc and gets some insightful extras including a fantastic commentary track. Highly recommend!
Review: Fast Paced & Entertaining! - A Stunning Giallo From Fulci ! - Lucio Fulci's Murder Rock is a brilliant Giallo. For those familiar with his work they'll be happy to know that this one is pretty fun, straightforward and fast paced. Fulci cut on the Gore this time to bring us something different, a very good Mystery/Thriller with good twists. Probably one of the best of his late career and a perfect addition to the 80's italian Giallo masterpieces. Unlike Fulci's other movies, Murder Rock is not as dark and obscure, it has a very bright tone to it. Laughter, Music, Dance and Choreography are very present throughout the whole movie, making it a very entertaining ride all the way through the end. Dont get me wrong, this is not a comedy, far from it, its a Giallo at 100%, sometimes brutal and merciless but its fresh and its fun too. I think Fulci and the crew had a lot of fun making it. Never had that feeling before while watching a Fulci film. Catchy rock tunes from the 80's and dancy music is also something we dont hear very often in Fulci's movies. Although slightly different in terms of style,the movie is still on par with Argento's horror masterpiece "Opera", just a little more groovy musically. Aside from working very hard to make sure they'll be chosen to perform in the next competition, the dancers from a prestigious ballet/workout School in NY are in deep trouble when they finnd out that a killer on the loose is trying to kill them one by one......... The cinematography/Photography here is exceptional,way above many films of that era,the colors are vivid, the picture is crisp, clear and of very high quality. I've rarely seen a movie of that era with such a nice picture quality. The darker scenes are also very well done,that little dark blue tint is simply amazing, it adds on increasing the gravity of the scenes which are already very atmospheric. The film itself easily deserves 4 stars but the photography/Cinematography is so good that it also deserved one. This movie will be welcome in any horror fan collection, especially italian giallo fans. It is seriously overlooked and underrated. Better than many late fulci films in my opinion. ENJOY!!!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ So much better than I'd expected
*by A***N on May 21, 2022*

Went in just looking for some goofy 80s camp. Was surprised at just how well filmed it all was. Gorgeous shots & lighting. Story was loads of fun & (mostly) moved along at a brisk pace. Maybe not the most satisfying 3rd act, but certainly ended up being a very competently made giallo. More fun than many better known giallo. I imagine it'd play well for the midnight crowd at a festival.
