The French Sex Murders1972
Directed by Ferdinando Merighi
The premise
After a French prostitute is found dead, one of her regular clients is tried and convicted for her murder. He is eventually sentenced to death but dies in a high speed pursuit after attempting to escape custody. Soon, the witnesses that testified against him end up being systematically murdered by a mysterious killer wearing black gloves.
Horror Vault's take
Set against the seedy backstreets and iconic landmarks of Paris, this Italian-German giallo plunges viewers into a cat-and-mouse murder mystery ignited by a prostitute's brutal killing and a controversial courtroom verdict. When the convicted man meets a violent end before justice can fully run its course, someone — or something — begins hunting down every witness who sealed his fate. Black-gloved death stalks the city's brothels and bourgeois parlours alike, and no one who took the stand is safe. Classic giallo style drips from every frame, blending erotic atmosphere with escalating, razor-edged suspense.
