Forgettable slasher with a ridiculous killer's MO
21 April 2024
I was perplexed at how notorious Italian director Umberto Lenzi (of "Cannibal Ferox" fame) made such a generic slasher flick as this one. IMDB has our backs: the trivia says that Lenzi didn't really direct it, it was made by a guy called Harry Kirkpatrick. Lenzi was only on set as an advisor to him.

About the only thing that sets this movie apart is the ridiculous method the killer uses to dispatch his victims. He rides a motorbike everywhere (and his helmet serves as a mask) and he coaxes people into sitting on it behind him. Then he pulls a lever and the bike turns into an electric chair, frying the passenger with electricity... but leaving the killer completely unharmed.

How is it possible that he is immune to electrocution?

The movie also has some nonsense about there being a conspiracy to cover up the killer's crimes, but that didn't register, and nor did any of the characters. The protagonist doesn't work on the big screen; the guy I assumed was going to be the lead gets killed, leaving us with the other guy.

And there's nowhere near enough nudity.
