Strip Nude for Your Killer (1975)

I have just watched Strip Nude For Your Killer this evening and i found it to be a very good film it features several good looking young women who are working for this model agency who agree to strip for this photographer. But at the same time there is a murder on the loose who is out to kill as many of the models as possible. there are some very gory moments in the film, and it also features a lot of nudity in many sences as the title says. I found the dubbing of the actors not to bad which is good compared to other films i have seen. I think that Andrea Bianchi is a good director from what i have seen in this film. Good Movie!(Recommended).

Being considered among the sleaziest and least of the gialli – not that surprising given the involvement of director Bianchi, who would later be responsible for MALABIMBA (1979) – had made me forego the opportunity of purchasing this film's Blue Underground DVD (where it was dubbed in English anyway); I've now acquired it in the original language, though with the picture compromised in its case (where the 2.35:1 aspect ratio has been opened up to 1.85:1)! While I can certainly concede it's no hidden gem within this prolific genre (especially since it puts much more emphasis on eroticism than bloodshed), the film proved surprisingly palatable as these things go. As ever, we get a plethora of gorgeous women who are made to fight for their lives against the killer and shed their clothes at every possible opportunity: these include genre stalwarts Edwige Fenech – playing her last such heroine – and Femi Benussi – at her sexiest – as well as Solvi Stubing, later the presenter of a 1980s TV program reviewing then-current films on general release in Italy!; there's also an effective score by Berto Pisano (not one of the major names associated with the giallo style but his work here is nonetheless commendable). The plot is nothing to write home about either, that is to say, overly familiar: a handful of people engaged with a modeling agency are targeted by a manic killer sporting a black leather outfit and with facial features hidden behind a crash helmet; it all seems to be connected with an abortion gone wrong which actually opens the film. Typically, then, we're given the choice of numerous suspects – including Nino Castelnuovo, who makes for a rather unsavory leading man for this type of film (although his foul-mouthed outbursts are highly entertaining) – but the final revelation and accompanying motive aren't exactly thrilling (even if I have to admit of being aware of it beforehand from online reviews). As I said, the level of violence seen here isn't too high (where there's gore, it's usually unconvincing and sometimes unlikely – for instance, a castration) and repetitive besides (the same weapon is used every time); the nudity (ranging from scenes depicting lesbianism, the near-rape of a model by an obese and impotent fellow and the concluding light-hearted[!] suggestion of sodomy to avert the possibility of an unwanted pregnancy) is mainly gratuitous, but certainly not lamentable whenever it involves either Fenech or Benussi (the uneasy reaction of a Police Inspector's assistant at her unabashed appearance during an interrogation scene is priceless).

I give credit to Andrea Bianchi (at first I thought it was a female director, the one lone one among the pack of the Giallo, but digging deeper Andrea is apparently a male name), for trying to put a couple of crazy twists: the killer looks like a cross between a dominatrix and a hardcore biker out of Mad Max, covered in total black leather with a big black helmet, there is a moment or two that do startle with the killer's presence. Indeed, the killer is for the most part much smarter than almost all of the cast, which can be fun to watch once or twice... But the problem with Bianchi's direction is that past the excess nudity, which isn't a bad thing for a sleazy Italian horror flick, there's no suspense to his craft. While the cinematography is accomplished the actual direction as far as suspense goes is pretty weak. Suffice to say, Bianchi is no Argento. It's not a total loss, but it's also weakened by the really bad dubbing (Godzilla sometimes fares better), and some really ridiculous characters, like the fat guy that tries to have his way with the older blonde owner of the fashion studio, that aren't very funny.It's got some hip 70s music, and a few memorable bits (mostly early on, with stuff that doesn't have to do even with the killer), but really this movie doesn't live up to the awesome potential of its title. The trailer on the Blue Underground DVD, on the other hand, is really amazing.

A mysterious killer, dressed in black leather and a motorcycle helmet, is offing the staff and models at an agency/studio; risking their lives, Magda and Carlo (Edwige Fenech and Nino Castelnuovo), a couple of photographers, attempt to discover the murderer's identity before they too become victims.Andrea Bianchi, director of cheesy fun 80s zombie movie Burial Ground, makes sure that this enjoyable giallo lives up to its wonderfully lurid moniker by packing it with tons of nudity, sleazy action, and violent deaths. From start to finish, hardly a minute goes by without either a bloody stabbing or some gratuitous T&A from one of its delectable female stars, which is great news for fans of the genre, particularly if they enjoy their movies on the 'trashier' side.Sexy lead lady Fenech obligingly strips nude for the audience on several occasions, but it is Femi Benussi, as aspiring model Lucia, who really steals the show: with her stunning looks and a winning set of curves, it is a real shame that she falls prey to the leather-clad psycho so early.The story may not be anything particularly special, but the marvellously un-PC content (slutty women are treated like dirt by chauvinist men), endless hot Euro-chicks, and a magnificent funky soundtrack make this one a guilty pleasure.
