Were these old slasher movies really that bad? The death toll was pretty low compared with other, far more respectable movies. How many people were killed in The Grapes of Wrath? How many people in It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World would have not survived in real life? I'm not sure how to calculate how objectionable a movie is.
Members of Klaus
Kinski's therapy group are being murdered by
a mysterious figure who stabs them to death with scissors. I assumed Kinski was doing it because look at him, but he played a wealthy psychiatrist and the killer drove a Mazda GLC.
A 1980 Golan-Globus production, made one year after Kinski starred in Nosferatu, two years before Fitzcarraldo.
There's
a scene where a white woman makes no attempt to conceal her hysterical
fear of a Black man in an elevator. In fairness, he WAS chewing gum and
wearing sunglasses. The woman was later terrified of a janitor played by Christopher Lloyd.
With Joe Regalbuto of Murphy Brown.
Free with Amazon Prime.
