A DRAGONFLY FOR EACH CORPSE 1972 (SHOUT FACTORY) BLU-RAY

I had never seen this little Naschy gem before this Blu-ray release.

A mysterious killer is stalking the streets of Milan. He has taken it upon himself to clean up the streets of what he calls "immoral and trashy people".

The killer leaves an ornamental dragonfly soaked in the victims blood on each body. Naschy is Inspector Paolo Scaporella who is on the case, but not getting very far as he lacks clues.

There are several killings at the beginning of the film in rapid succession and it sets up the rest of the film. Scaporella is very frustrated that he cannot find this mysterious killer and it gets to the point where the killer is sending him things in the mail like letters, or in one case a severed head!

His girlfriend, Silvana (Erika Blanc) tries to help him solve the case and gets a little too mixed up in it. To me Erika steals every scene she is in because she is so damn sexy. Good God, I wish they made women like that today!!

Oh well, back to the movie. As Paolo closes in the film draws to a very bizarre conclusion involving a transvestite and a classic roller coaster escape attempt. I have to admit I have never seen anything quite like it before.

The presentation by Shout is excellent and Naschy fan should love this. The rest of the cast includes Angel Aranda and the gorgeous Maria Kosty. This is another in the Paul Naschy Collection 2 set from Shout.
