⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
Ex-convict Gilles (Paul Naschy, looking super handsome in his leather jacket) is having a hard time finding work and is happy to be hired on as a caretaker at an estate owned by three odd (and sexy) sisters after a day of hitchhiking and disappointment. Said hitchhiking is how he meets one of the sisters who lives in the old and large house. Claude has some horrible burn scars on her arm and a fake hand (she’s down to a pinky and thumb thanks to the fire damage that deformed her… hang loose forever). She pulls it off well. He then meets knockout Nicole, who immediately flirts with the handsome stranger. Finally, theres’s the wheelchair-bound looker Ivette and when Gilles mentions her beauty, Claude warns him to stay away from her sisters. This immediately causes his barrel-chested pepper-haired lothario-ass to flirt with the woman, mentioning that her fake hand doesn’t bother him in the least. Such a smoothie.l or maybe it’s just a fetish of his. No kink-shaming here. Nicole sets her sights on the beefcake who is now taking care of things around the house and, whereas her sisters have physical disabilities working against them, Nicole shows up in Gilles’ room claiming she has insomnia… I think she’s just horny. The former caretaker Jean shows up and attacks his replacement, cutting him with a knife before Gilles manages to stab him with his own blade. This gets the inspector involved who warns Claude that the nurse they were expecting to come and care for her sister was murdered by strangulation a few days ago. Hmmmmmm. Soon after, a serial killer begins murdering women with a big-ass cleaver (among other handy sharp objects), and gouging out their eyeballs. Naschy suffers from nightmares where he strangles women so perhaps some lunacy is rotting away in his subconscious and causing him to get a little kill-happy with the female population. Perhaps he’s far too busy banging the siblings with working legs to have much time to fix things around the house, much less slaughter pretty women. Perhaps there’s more than a few suspects popping up to look mighty guilty to any concerned party. A shootout with a little bit too much time left leads to an unlikely answer that the majority of the viewers probably saw coming… or did they? Giallo gothic hybrid feels pretty sleazy thanks to a great turn from Naschy as the womanizing stranger who may be insane or may be in the wrong place at the wrong time but definitely has some skeletons in his closet. Naschy is supported by a great cast of good lookin’ women who all seem to have some mental issues of their own. It’s a nice guessing game that doesn’t give too much away but also has some gory bits for the slasher fans. They do bleed out a pig on camera so be advised there. It’s brief but the audio is horrific.
