Also known as Penetration and So Sweet, So Dead
"So what motive is there for these crimes?" "I don't know. Perhaps it could be traced to a homosexual." Reasonable, if you ask me.
I'm tracking down and watching what I'm going to call "clunky named Grindhouse flicks". The Killer Must Kill Again (or as I saw it, The Dark is Death's Friend) counts. These should have incredibly convoluted, bizarre and otherwise awful names that you have to think about when you say them. Sure, its a granted almost for sure that a lot of these are a case of translations. But, you know, not all of them. This is a relatively short list that is hard to search for, so we'll see how it goes.
I like the title of this a lot. I like how its like, a relevatory statement. "Oh my god, Fred! I've got it! The slasher... is the sex maniac!" You know, if you have a sex maniac on the loose and a slasher on the loose, its a good bet they're the same. I mean, maybe this was not known in 1972, but I feel like the logic makes sense.
A decidedly not sex maniac is on the loose, killing women who are cheating on their husbands. The killer is clad in black with a fedora and a women's stocking pulled over his face to make his face obscured. Its an awesome look, like a mix between Freddy Kruger and I Know What You Did Last Summer (somewhat clunky name there, actually). The lead cop begins to track him down, it goes from there.
A proto slasher this definitely is. Killing women with plenty of nudity, a masked killer, a body count, moral related deaths. Its more of a slasher than a Giallo, as this is much more of a police story than the norm of that genre.
This is a good, fun, fast paced entry with plenty of kills and nudity to keep you interested. It isn't that clunky of a title, I'll give it like a 2/10 on the "Clunk-ometer".
