a knife-wielding, red-caped maniac, who kills his victims by stabbing
them in the eye.
Italian director Umberto Lenzi made this motion picture in 1975, shortly
after his SAVAGES
OF DEEP RIVER, and years before his seminal EATEN
ALIVE BY CANNIBALS and CANNIBAL
FERROX. Of course, genre fans remember him mostly for those films,
but Mr Lenzi helmed a wide variety of productions (65 movies in 30 years)
including HITCHER
IN THE DARK, police thriller ALMOST
HUMAN and DAUGHTER
OF THE JUNGLE. His last movie was MEAN
TRICKS with Charles Napier in 1992. Most of his later projects
(1985+) were co-written with his wife Olga Pehar,
who incidentally stars in this film as Mrs Randall. After retiring, Umberto
started writing murder mysteries set in the 1930s/40s involving real-life
characters from the Italian film industry. Mr Umberto Lenzi died from
heart failure in October 2017 at age 86.
