The French Sex Murders
1972 · Movie · 83 min. · Italy
A lesser-known but memorably bizarre giallo thriller, this unusual shocker has a petty thief named Antoine falsely sentenced to death for the murder of a high-class prostitute at a brothel run by Madame Colette. The first of the film’s risible plot machinations has the wrongfully condemned Antoine putting a curse on his accusers, escaping as he is about to be guillotined, and then being decapitated anyway after leading authorities on a motorcycle chase. One of the judge’s friends is a doctor named Waldemar who does experiments on the deceased non-killer’s eyeballs; when the judge is murdered, everyone is sure that Antoine is getting revenge from beyond the grave.
