Curiozități

Phantom of Death is a 1988 Italian giallo film directed by Ruggero Deodato and starring Michael York, Edwige Fenech and Donald Pleasence. The film is about a pianist (York) suffering from a genetic condition that causes rapid aging, which drives him mad and leads to a killing spree.

Production

Phantom of Death had a script developed in the early 1980s by Gianfranco Clerici and Vincenzo Mannino which later became the basis for the script for Lucio Fulci's The New York Ripper (1982). According to Clerici, the two were offended by how their script was changed and continued to edit it before giving it to director Ruggero Deodato.

Deodato has stated that "I did Phantom of Death because it was based on a true element – the idea of growing old [...] And I got to work with Michael York and Donald Pleasence." On the film as a whole, he commented that "some parts look like an 'A' production. But it seemed too long in the final part." He added that Edwige Fenech was miscast (his first choice was Kelly LeBrock), and was only included because the producer wanted her in the film.
