Sky Arte documentary explores Lucio Fulci's splatter cinema legacy

Sky Arte will air a documentary on Italian director Lucio Fulci, known for cult horror films like Zombi 2 and the 'Trilogy of Death,' on Saturday, March 13. Directed by Simone Scafidi, 'Fulci For Fake' takes its title from Orson Welles' 'F for Fake' and aims to dismantle common misconceptions about Fulci's work. The film features homages from figures like Sam Raimi and Quentin Tarantino, who regard Fulci as a cornerstone of the splatter genre. Scafidi offers an unconventional perspective, revealing a lesser-known side of the director. The documentary is part of Sky Arte's programming, with the channel's website powered by Artribune, which manages content and digital interface.
