Review:
So most of the horror buffsters kept telling me that I simply must see a Jess Franco flick, so I opted for this 'un. Er I'm not quite sure why people like this director very much because as far as I saw it was just a poorly acted and boring giallo flick with one creative death. There is a guy who is disfigured so he wears a mask (original huh) it's kinda like a Mickey Mouse mask which I guess is kinda neat. He was once in a mental asylum (you see where this is going) and he is released to his family who happen to operate a boarding school for young women. This does have incest and a power saw death, it's tolerable but certainly not thrilling. Perhaps this isn't one of the best examples of his work or perhaps it's just not all that good. Still an acceptable slasher if you don't care much about budget.
