Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

Despite the crassly exploitative title, which offers up unimaginable sleaze and depravity, STRIP NUDE FOR YOUR KILLER is actually a rather straightforward and down-to-earth giallo yarn, albeit one littered with nudity and gory violence. The plot kicks off with a nasty abortion, followed by a woman's body being dumped in a bath (!?!) and soon enough a string of graphic slayings are taking place. The killer this time around is an asexual figure in a motorbike helmet who slashes their usually naked victims to death. This work of trash is directed by Andrea Bianchi, best known for his zombie epic BURIAL GROUND, working with a bigger budget than usual and displaying a certain visual flair not seen in his later work.As is usual for the genre, the dubbing is unbelievable and the characters rather cheesy, including an obese womaniser who only finds love from his blow-up doll! The acting is unmemorable but the cast attractive, especially the female performers who spend most of their scenes in the nude. Edwige Fenech takes the leading role, giving the film a female protagonist for a change, and makes quite an impression. The use of a fashion house as a setting for the murders recalls Bava's BLOOD & BLACK LACE but this is far from the intricate masterpiece of that movie; instead, this is an occasionally confusing but mainly solid giallo enterprise offering plenty of exploitation and a minimum of intelligence. The gore effects are cheap but plentiful. Fun for genre connoisseurs, unfulfiling for others.

This can't even be called a movie, as there was really no plot to speak of. Just a killer in a motorcycle helmet dispatching naked women, interspersed with people having sex at every opportunity.I don't have a problem with nudity or sex, far from it, but it should take place within the context of the movie and make sense. In one scene an obese man threatens a woman with a glass vase and demands sex, only for her to comply as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened, and they begin to chat away happily! I can't find a single positive thing to say about this movie. The characterization is non existent, the dialog is appalling, there is zero plot development, inappropriate incidental music and no suspense whatsoever. This is far and away the worst Giallo I have seen, and I have viewed at least 40, being a fan of the genre. Avoid this movie, even if you are a fan of this genre. 1 star for the fact Edwige Fenech was in it. Appalling.

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.
