Film Review
Template:Fernando DiLeo
Template:Klaus Kinski
Actually, the original title is "Cold-Blooded Beast" or "The Beast Who Kills in Cold Blood". But even those don't seem like the right titles. "SEX CLINIC SLAUGHTERHOUSE" probably would have been more appropriate.
The movie actually takes place at a clinic (not a hotel) for gals who have some personal issues. But since this also takes place in movie-land, all the girls are gorgeous glamour queens (even the nurses don't look too bad!). But wouldn't you know it, some phantom-maniac is roaming around the clinic killing the girls off one by one...Thanks to the arsenal of medieval weapons found in the building's basement!
Klaus Kinski is the star here, but his lackadaisical performance will leave fans disappointed. Apparently, he was to play the part in suspicious manner so that audiences would think he's the killer. But is he?
Even though the movie has a standard 97-minute running time (Depending on which version you get your hands on) the movie really seems to breeze by nicely on repeated viewings. Just the whole ludicrous concept and execution works like a charm to a demented degree. Just go into this one leaving your brain miles away and try to have fun with the blood and T&A.
