Of course the gore was plentiful and beautifully executed by regular Fulci collaborator Giannetto De Rossi, but the ending really did spoil an otherwise excellent film.
Totally agree - it's an incredibly suspenseful, well shot, film but when the ending comes you feel cheated. When you watch it a second time knowing what you know you realise it really doesn't work at all though.

I didn't know De Rossi did the effects though.
