This is the fourth edition of this delightfully violent and bloody film i've seen, the first
being a VHS in the 1990's, the second a Severin DVD in around 2008 and the third a
Severin Blu-ray in the 2010's. The film is B with lots of bad acting from unknown German
actors and acresses. A Giallo-Slasher hybrid with a glossy look by cameraman Juan
Soler and a bunch of Bimbo-ish but very attractive actresses, and most important, with
a bunch of pretty well made and GORY murders. Slick trash, sure, but i like it and along
with Jess 1988 "Les Predateurs de la Nuit" these are my two 1980's favourites films of his.

The film has a slightly Non-Francoesque feeling about it, which Jess in the interview
explains with that the economic backers, the German producers wanted a generic looking
Horror film with generic looking actresses, generic sounding soundtrack and with generic
looking film slasher violence.
There are some Jesse looking scenes, = weird scenes, as when a woman (Nadja Gerganoff)
inexplainably bares her breasts to the moon, or when a little kid heroically tries to save one
one of the female Victims (Inga) and is rewarded by being run over by a car. Is it Jess
showing his nihilistic side or is it Jess being funny ? The scene is so Non-mainstream sick
it may be funny. In an interview Jess says the film is a genre comedy, but incompetence
or comedy, hard to say.

The Story: Beautiful Angela (German actress Olivia Pascal) arrives to Alicante, Spain,
to attend at a Spanish summer language course held by The International Youth Club
Boarding School of Languages. The school is run by Alvaro (Christoph Moosbrugger)
and owned by the wheelchair bound Countess Maria (Maria Rubio, one of the few Spanish
actors in this film). All the pupils are young attractive women for some reason, almost as
if they took part in some Eurosleaze movie. Horny too, yes, and local handyman Antonio
(Peter Exacoustos, the other Spanish actor in this film) can have as much sex as he wants.
What the girls don't know are that convicted murderer and mental case Miguel (Alexander
Waechter) lives nearby at his aunt's, the Countess, mansion and that he constatntly lurks
around the girls bungalows, and especially Angelas.

The Countess is a cranky old woman and she dislikes her niece Manuela (Nadja Gerganoff)
and says she will disinherit her when she dies. Instead Miguel will inherit her.
Miguel has a disfigured face and an incestuos relationship with his sister Manuela (Nadja
Gerganoff in her only role, and she do resemble Lina Romay).

OK, soon a masked killer start to bump off the girls in various grisly ways. Eva (Ann-Beate
Enjelke), Laura (Corinna Drews) and most notoriously Inga (Jasmin Losensky) in the Stone
Saw Mill scene. Unforgettably nasty and a well made special effect, props to the FX guys.
Who's the killer - Whodunit ?
Jesús Franco can be seen as a doctor in The Clinica Psiquiatrica at the start of the movie.
Dead Eva in closet can be seen in Almodovar's "Matador".
