Sergeant Flanagan
of the New York Police Force has a tough case. A serial killer is stabbing
people and leaving a hand grenade at the scene. Meanwhile, Starlet - a
model and occasional prostitute - is hunting for a mysterious sex maniac
who mutilated and killed her brother. Flanagan soon realizes they are
both looking for the same person. Here's a surprisingly good, very sleazy
Giallo set in NYC's Greenwich Village, shot by Italian cult direction
Alfonso Brescia (best known for BATTLE
OF AMAZONS and BEAST
IN SPACE).
Easily, this is the
rarest of the David Hess films. He made his acting debut in Wes Craven's
LAST
HOUSE ON THE LEFT (1972). His performance - like that film - was
unforgettable. Before LAST HOUSE, he was active
in the music business, first as a singer songwriter (under the David Hill
pseudonym he wrote I GOT STUNG for Elvis Presley, among others)
and then as an A&R executive for Mercury Records, where he also recorded
the rock opera NAKED CARMEN in 1969 with John Corigliano. After
numerous films - mostly lensed in Europe (like Ruggero Deodato's CAMPING
DEL TERRORE and HOUSE
BY THE EDGE OF THE PARK, Mr Hess died from a heart attack at age
75, October 2011.
Florence Guerin has
made 50+ movies - including many genre favorites (i.e., THE
CORRUPTION, KNIFE
UNDER THE THROAT, THE
ATTRACTION, et al) - since her debut in Brunio Mattei's
CALIGULA
AND MESSILINA. After a automobile accident in May 1998 - which
resulted in a lengthy coma, numerous surgeries and the death of her only
son, five year old Nicolas - she returned to acting under the name of
Florence Nicolas. She is still active today.
