Strip Nude for Your Killer

Introduction

There are some films that, just from the title and the opening, you know exactly what you're in for - Strip Nude for Your Killer is one of them. In just the first ten minutes of this, you get full-frontal nudity, sex and a brutal murder by someone in a motorcycle outfit!

When a model dies, her agency is targeted by a knife-wielding killer. With the police completely ineffective, it's up to photographer Carlo to discover the murderer's identity before he, too, becomes a victim.

Video

A decent transfer, with good contrast and suitably lurid colours - especially for the bright red blood! The camerawork is effective in creating tension, although the camera is clearly visible in one scene in a house full of mirrors!

Audio

A clear dub, presented in Dolby Digital 2.0 mono English, with a decent score complementing the camerawork.

Extra Features

As well as the Theatrical Trailer there is the Shameless trailer reel that starts up when you load the disc and can be skipped through or can be watched from the menu. This comprises:
- The Designated Victim
- Torso: Carnal Violence
- Oasis of Fear
- Watch Me When I Kill
- Baba Yaga: Reloaded
-The New York Ripper

Conclusion

Strip Nude for Your Killer is a typical Giallo: a simple story structured around a series of elaborate murders, with plenty of nudity and a costumed killer. Most of the flesh is completely gratuitous, not that anyone will complain and there's enough of a story and violence to stop it from being a trashy skin-flick.

There's plenty here to enjoy, despite it not being the most accomplished Giallo you'll ever see - there is a fantastic car sequence where Maurizio disobeys every traffic rule in a high-speed journey around the city, for no clear reason. The direction and screenplay are reasonable, though occasionally unintentionally funny, and the ending is satisfactory, but slightly odd, with a seemingly unresolved plot thread.

You know if you're in the target audience and, if you are, it's definitely one worth checking out.
