A truly depraved and unashamedly trashy piece of sleaze that I somehow never get tired of watching. There’s something in to offend almost everyone: blatant sexism, heavy violence, constant nudity. Ah Italian giallo cinema I love you.
Edwige Fenech sports an unusually short haircut in this and still looks fab although she is dubbed by an actress who sounds nothing like her usual characters so it takes a bit to get used to. Nino Castelnuovo completely sheds his good guy image from The Umbrellas of Cherbourg by playing a total womanizer who uses several scenes to make sure we know what a nice beefy ass he has. And he does.
The killers outfit is almost identical to the one from…
To open your heart to giallo is to invite sleaze into your life. They're both welcome to make themselves at home, as far as I'm concerned. It's the least I can do for the men who helped lay the foundation. But even in a crowded sleaze field Bianchi stands out as a generational talent. Even the shots of people walking innocently around the city at night have that extra something that lets you know these extras are never more than seven hours removed from some pretty degrading sex. You can't fake this stuff. No amount of digital grain or yellow filter can recreate the vision of a man who I'm terrified to look up, lest I get to a multi-paragraph personal life section that ruins my weekend.
Love this haircut on Edwige Fenech. Five "Hello Nurse!"s out of five.
A psycho killer on the loose and hunting for some fuckers to slice and dice. Poolside fun. The perfect model. Sauna fucking. A slimy fat-fuck. Darkroom striptease. J&B Scotch. Stab, Slash, Slice. Police interrogation. Nude walking. Heavy fuckin' breathing. Cruising the streets. A mercy fuck. Back hair galore. Your last blow-up doll. The morgue. Earrings. Erotic touching. Hit and run. A rotary dial telephone. Only a badass motherfucker or a creepy killer fucker drives a car with a motorcycle helmet on. Mink coat. Bitch-slap. A knight's sword. The ultimate scare. A backdoor joke. Sleazy and trashy. Very sexy all-natural ladies. Edwige Fenech has one of my favorite perky racks. Femi Benussi is straight up smokin' hot. There's this fat-fuck who looks like the fat-fuck in Borat and I swear I've never seen underwear that big. EuroTrash that I would rather watch than throw out. Recommended if you're sleazy like me.
Spooktober IV: Morte all'italiana
Another one of those movies that failed to live up to the greatness of its title or its reportedly legacy (apparently many have cited this movie as a major influence on the development of the American slasher or something).
Delli Colli’s cinematography is arguably the biggest highlight of the movie. I wouldn’t call “stunning” but the glossy look lends the movie a very dreamy vibe that adds something special to the film. It has some very sleazy vibes going for it. With the exception of one comical sequence where this dude fails to get a boner, there's lots of gratuitous nudity, which was OK but never enticing and feels like it's just there. Some of the…
Andrea Bianchi's 1975 giallo Strip Nude For Your Killer is as sleazy as they come, full of gratuitous nakedness, softcore erotica and dirty stabbings. My J&B cup runneth over!
The inimitable Edwige Fenech, looking very cute with her pixie hairdo and big... eyes... stars as fashionista Magda, caught up in a live murder investigation; the hunt for a killer who seems to be targetting employees of the fashion house where she works. Sex is the order of the day and Edwige enjoys good chemistry with Nino Castelnuovo as Carlo, who despite Leisure Suit Larry appearances and a questionable professional work ethic ain't such a bad guy in the grand scheme of things. On the rare occasions he's not in the…
Strip Nude for Your Killer is a late period Giallo - a nice mix of murder mayhem and general sleaziness! Andrea Bianchi's film begins with an abortion gone wrong - the girl dies and the doctor covers it up. It's not long before he's picked off by a masked assailant - who is now after everyone at the dead girl's modelling agency. This one takes the leather gloves from the Argento Giallo and extends it to a full leather motorcycle suit and helmet. The actual mystery takes something of a backseat to all the naked female skin and the film really never misses an opportunity to showcase as much as possible. Why have a lady going out to her car,…
“Look at those pores.”
A perfect example of why we need safe and effective reproductive care for all. Strip Nude for Your Killer is a dark dissertation on the effects of black market abortion. A young model dies in the stirrups, her death covered up, and soon everyone is being stabbed, everyone is stripping nude, and anyone could be the killer. As Edwidge Fenech’s character Magda says, “the killer must be one of us.”
I’ve come around on this film a bit. It’s better if you approach it as a mix of Italian sex comedy, giallo and typical Andrea Bianchi nastiness. Nino Castelnuovo’s Carlo is one of the genre’s top-tier scumbags (and in a genre filled with them, that’s saying…
Sexy, sleazy…heyyy, it’s a real gialli!
Plenty of flesh and even more zooms herein as the Italian fashion world is rocked by a leather-clad killer in a great costume (totally gonna stea-er, “homage” the motorcycle jacket and helmet look).
Also, takes the WEIRDEST turn in the last minute it was actually shocking!
Pretty effective and great Blu transfer.

Nino, when Edwige Fenech in her prime takes her coat off to reveal nothing but stockings, suspenders and a thong to ask you “Do you think I could be a model?”, you do not question her career longevity, you thundering berk.
Strip Nude for your Killer is a momentously sleazy little giallo gem chalked full of nudity and depravity. When your first scene is a botched abortion you know you are in for a nasty little ride through Italian debauchery and mayhem.
When an abortion goes wrong a string of grizzly murders take place starting with the doctor who performed the procedure. As the mystery of the brutal killings grow its up to some hotshot detectives and a charismatic Edwige to solve the case!
As this perverse nightmare unfolds we are thrown into a world of lavish photo shoots, erotic encounters and bloody violence. I love the look of the Motorcycle helmeted killer and it made me wonder if Nightmare Beach got that idea from here.
Throw in a fluttery little score, style for a mile and endless scenes of clothing optional hijinks and you've got a perfect escape to the world of the beautifully perverse.
The score, cinematography, and Fenech carry but only so far because otherwise this is pretty bad.
"Nature fascinates me."
"You've got a rather obscene idea of nature."
Watched with the Italian dub/English sub version rentable through Amazon, which I think was the right call! There's not a whole lot of story going on here for these Milan fashion house murders and the dated/cringy qualities are even more blatant than usual for gialli, but Berto Pisano's funky/jazzy score is absolutely glorious, the violence often reminded me of the ultra-bright red blood that spurts in Fulci flicks, Edwige Fenech looks fab with short hair as photographer/model Magda and Nino Castelnuovo really seems to relish his part as Magda's boss at the studio, Carlo, which in this case incorporates donning wearable Christmas wrap, among other attire (or…
