BONUS WILDCARD WEEK (September 22 – 28) Go order something from the SWV website and watch it!
Emilio Vieyra also made The Curious Dr. Humpp but he may have created something even stranger here.
There’s a maniac loose, wearing a mask and wig, prowling the beaches of Argentina where he uses his haunting organ and rock and roll records to lure gorgeous women to his house where he uses them up, injects them with smack and dumps them back on the beach, dead to the world, before he drives away in his silver sports car.
The coroner, Dr. Bermudez (Alberto Candeau), says that the girls are all just drug addicts. And he should know, because his wife and her last lover had an affair with all manner of substances that ended with a car smashed and her dead. Maybe he’s drug obsessed. Maybe he’s the killer.
A handsome cop named Ernest Lauria (Mauricio De Ferraris) is in town to help solve this case, which gets even more deranged when women start to disappear and come back as complete zombies. Like every assassin with a copy of Catcher in the Rye, they all have the same record, jazz music by Silvio Valverde (Ricardo Bauleo), who also taught every one of the three dead girls to play piano.
This played double features as Feast of Flesh with Night of the Bloody Apes and man, if I saw that at the drive-in I would have just started crying from joy. This movie has acid that turns women into zombie acid fiends who have sex with a man in a weird mask, as well as a hero that berates his love interest — Baby! — for nearly getting assaulted.
