In 1988, in the pages from the French magazine Impact, Lucio Fulci mentioned a mysterious project called The Black Light: «I have proved that I could change my style. So I may have made at least one person happy. I think that I’m going to keep on this path with The Black Light, the story of a man and his remorse, a terrific story but not so much bloody. The American market doesn’t like gory movies.»
This project may have become Touch of Death.
