CARPET OF HORROR 1962 (SINISTER CINEMA)

Not to shabby of a German crime film.

The title of this film really doesn't do it justice. This solid film deals with an evil genius who uses a poison gas to kill various people.

The poison gas is kept is small round containers that are rolled into a room and slowly leak out and the victim dies from asphyxiation. An agent named Harry Raffold (Joachim Fuchsberger) is assigned to the case and is helped by his associate named Bob (Pierre Besari).

Raffold also falls for a love;y woman named Ann Learner (Karin Dor) who is also stalked by the master criminal in order to ward Raffold off, but it doesn't work anyway as Raffold is tenacious and refuses to give up the case.

This is a well acted and fast moving West German thriller with plenty of plot twists, gun fights and double crosses. Harald Reini handled the directing chores and as usual does a very dependable job.

I have stated before I will always be a fan of Karin Dor. I will watch anything with her in it. She was one of the sexiest Euro babes of all time, and I believe at the time this film was made she was married to the director.

The rest of the cast includes Elenora Rossi Drago, Fernando Sancho and Carl Lange. Familiar faces all to fans of German Krimi films. RECOMMENDED!!
