Article all right, expanded 5x and has passed over the required character limit (1500). Dipankan ^{(Have a chat?)} 13:14, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

• I see a problem with the hook: it says that the movie features the Fulci elements, but this is based on a single reviewer having said so. I think that, unless further sources making a connection with Fulci can be found and added to the article, then the hook needs to be modified to attribute this to "a reviewer" having said this.

  How would "... that Umberto Lenzi's 1972 film Il coltello di ghiaccio features thematic and directorial elements which one critic found similar to the works of Lucio Fulci?" work? Sourcing some of these Italian films is pretty tricky given how limited my Italian is so I'm really only working with scraps. GRAPPLE X 22:28, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

• I think that works a lot better. I'd probably use "that one reviewer" rather than "which one critic", but the "that/which" depends on which version of English you're using: American would be "that"; British would be "which". I think "reviewer" is preferable over "critic" regardless. Want to propose it formally as an ALT? BlueMoonset (talk) 23:59, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

• I figure "which" over "that" makes more sense for a European subject, the film and both directors mentioned are Italian. So here's Alt1: ... that Umberto Lenzi's 1972 film Il coltello di ghiaccio features thematic and directorial elements which one reviewer found similar to the works of Lucio Fulci?

• Alt1 is fine; original hook has been struck. Thanks! BlueMoonset (talk) 02:58, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
