original Spanish/Mexican title ASESINO NOCTURNO (Night Killer)

director Fernando Duran Rojas
Andres Garcia · Gregorio Casals · Edna Bolkan · Pedro Infante Jr · Alfredo Gutierrez

A man, his identity hidden under a hat and trenchcoat, picks up a hooker at the sleezy El Farol hotel. Upstairs, in a room, he cuts her throat and stabs her to death. This is the first of numerous slasher attacks and dead whores, punctuated by some absurd red herrings [including an inept copycat killer]. Commander Alfredo Reyna (tough guy Andrés García) - and his team - diligently follows the clues but eventually he puts girlfriend Edna Montez (Edna Bolkan) in harm's way to catch the killer.

Grindhouse meistro Fernando Duran Rojas delivers a Mexican slasher film here, ala Giallo fashion. He helmed 101 movies from 1969 to retirement in 2008 (at age 78), working almost exclusively in either the Western or Crime genre. He was probably best known for the nihilistic HOT SNAKE in 1974 and LAS BRACERAS (1981). Starlet Edna Bolkan made 125 films during her 30 year career, including DON'T PANIC shot around the same time.
