Even by Giallo standards this is trashy , sleazy and totaly un P.C.
The story line is bland but the wall to wall nudity and bloodshed is what your watching this movie for.If you are a Edwige Fenech fan or a Giallo fan then this is a must have movie.Well done to shamless for getting this passed uncut in the u.k. [and an excellent print].Shame there are no extras and I know this is realy picky but the colour tones on the DVD cover look a bit washed out compared to the german dvd release [that should tell you what a great release this is when anoraks like me nitpick about the cover].

People are turning up brutally murdered and the police are struggling to find out who’s responsible. It becomes clear that there’s a link between all those killed, but will the killer be caught before anymore people perish?
This 1975 giallo starring the lovely Edwige Fenech is directed by Andrea Bianchi. Yes that’s the man responsible for the truly terrible but hysterical and highly entertaining “Burial ground”, you’d be forgiven for thinking this could be an all round loser. You may be surprised to know this is actually OK, and Bianchi shows he’s an alright director with some talent. The film is quite stylish with some good suspense, an ok score and it never really gets boring. The gore scenes aren’t too bad with flesh and blood aplenty and there’s some good build up to each killing. With a title like “Strip nude for your killer” you won’t be surprised to learn it’s quite a sleazy film, but i think that just adds to the trashy fun of it all. It’s no way one of the best giallos around but it’s still definitely worth checking out if you are a fan of the genre.

This film has been kept alive by the hair-raising picturing of its coherent & tense plot. Supported by some good music.
Apart from that, it’s all mediocre to bad acting, nudity, sex and violence in a true seventies-style. Good watchable, Italian trash.

Not a ‘classic’ Giallo but great entertainment and value for money with mucho full frontal nudity, murder and mayhem.
Top billed Edwige Fenech looks fantastic either clothed or unclothed. As with so many Italian films from the 60’s and 70’s the music is a major component. There’s a wonderfully catchy score by Berto Pisano, the film is well photographed (even though the entire crew are visible in a mirror in one shot!) and is only really let down by the silly comic interlude in the mid section with the randy fat guy (this same actor was very memorable as the greasy Turkish lawyer in the brilliant “Midnight Express” a few years later).
Excellent, crisp anamorphic 2.35:1 transfer.

With a title like this I was very surprised there was no nudity? Just joking, from the very first frame of the film we are introduced to a gynaecologist performing an examination on a young lady. That really sets the tone of what is to follow, excessive sleaziness and obscene violence. This certainly isn’t the best Italian giallo film I’ve ever seen. But it is probably one of the most fun. From the ridiculous characters to the cheesy 70’s soundtrack. Everything in this film is over the top. The killer is a leather-clad biker. Complete with helmet and a Darth Vader-like respiratory problem. This takes any sense of tension out of the stalking scenes. The whole thing is spectacularly un-PC, women are treated like dirt and only in this film to get naked and be killed off. By far the best thing in this is the stunningly gorgeous and alluring brunette Edwige Fenech. I will be looking out for more of her work.
