Dir. Leon Klimovsky (1975)
Spain, 85 min.
In English

The great Paul Naschy returns, this time as a bare-knuckled detective not afraid to break the rules in search of a mysterious killer who leaves bloodied dragonflies on his victims. Ably assisted by the always amazing Erika Blanc (midnight maniacs may remember her from THE DEVIL'S NIGHTMARE), Naschy discovers secrets and perversions aplenty on his way to finding the killer. It may not technically be a giallo, but the general giallo rules all apply: glamorous models aplenty, op art everywhere, a trenchcoated killer who strikes without mercy (and with slo-mo blood trails everywhere), a shootout on a roller coaster: all we're missing is a bottle of J&B. Leon Klimovsky (last month's WEREWOLF SHADOW) is back in the director's seat and his collaboration with Naschy is as sure-footed as ever, and the domestic scenes with Naschy and Blanc are an absolute treat -- Naschy pontificating while smoking a cigar in the tub as Blanc scrubs his chest while correcting his mistakes is the perfect example of what makes these films so adored by fans. This May, we got you covered at the witching hour, so get AS NASCHY AS II WANNA BE!
