CASE OF THE BLOODY IRIS 1972 (TUBI)

This is another in a long line of Italian Giallo films that really delivers the goods.

This tale concerns a very sexy model named Jennifer Lansbury (Edwige Fenech) who has recently left a hippie sex cult and wishes to just go on with her career.

However, she finds herself puesued by a member of the cult who claims he "married" her and insists on making her life a living hell. He even goes as far as to enter her apartment, rip her clothes off and claim that she is his property.

As if this isn't enough, she is also stalked by a deranged serial killer who has already killed several people in her apartment complex. There are a lot of suspects including her lesbian neighbor, a strange old lady and her deformed son as well as another man who has a huge blood phobia.

There are plenty of plot twists as usual and all are very well handled by director Giuliano Carnimeo. The main attraction of this movie is, of course, Edwige Fenech. My God this woman just reeks of sexuality and I don't think there was ever any actress in Giallo films that could even come close to her beauty. I know that might be a point of debate, but all I can say is WOW!!

Fenech steals every scene she is in and is absolutely captivating. The rest of the cast for this excellent film include George Hilton, Paola Quattrini and Ben Carra.

If you get the chance you really should check out this well made Italian crime drama.
