BLOODY MOON 1981 (TUBI)

Jess Franco directed this hybrid of slasher/giallo from Spain.

Gorgeous Olivia Pascal stars as Angela, a young woman who is a student at a language school.

Her room just happens to be the same room that another female student was killed in a while back, and this killing we see at the beginning of the movie.

From the very outset Angela is stalked by every weirdo male student and a mysterious masked person who is trying to kill her. Nobody believes her, of course, yet several of the other beautiful female students meet graphic ends.

The two most shocking scenes in this film are the young women beheaded by a huge buzz saw and then the killer running over a small child wgo witnessed the brutal killing. The so called "filmmakers" today would never attempt such a scene.

I have read a lot of reviews that say this film is boring, but I disagree. I found it very well done and considering it was done at the end of the Spanish horror boom, I'd say Franco pulled it off well.

I know this film is available on Blu-ray as well as streaming which is how I watched it, and if you get a chance you might want to see it. Ignore the reviews and make your own opinion.

The rest of the cast includes Christoph Moosbrugger, Nadja Gerganoff, Corinna Drews, Jasmin Losensky and director Franco himself in a small role as a doctor.
