An asylum for the good, the bad, the weird, the cult and the unjustly neglected films that I love.

Slaughter Hotel (1971)
Sleazy giallo from Fernando Di Leo, originally released in Italy as La bestia uccide a sangue freddo which roughly translates as The Beast Kills in Cold Blood. It's set in an up-market retreat for rich weirdos and, as you would hope and expect, a masked killer is bumping people off in gruesome fashion. But who? And why? Frankly, the who and the why kind of get lost amid the liberal (and I mean that in every sense) doses of near-pornographic nudity and bloody violence. It's all wrapped up neatly at the end though. Cast-wise, Rosalba Neri makes an impression as another in her long line of nymphomaniacs and Klaus Kinski wanders serenely through the movie despite looking less like a psychiatrist than anyone you've ever met.
