Re: Seen any crappy movies?
Torso or
I corpi presentano tracce di violenza carnale. (1973)
A sleazy giallo slasher where a masked man is hunting the students in an art history class.
For all of its sleaze, it's a pretty good mystery and has an interesting and tense sequence between the final girl and the killer. The final girl shows a lot of resolve and intelligence which is often missing in these. It's a step up from the other Sergio Martino films I've seen, where all the ladies just collapse when confronted by a threat.
Yet, this is 100% filmed in the male gaze. Lots of lingering shots on the actresses and fetishizing the one black woman. The final girl needs to be rescued by the ruggedly handsome former suspect. This is a good film for the genre, but it's not elevating the genre in any way.
