 Beat the Devil (1953)

A quartet of international crooks -- Peterson, O'Hara, Ross and Ravello -- is stranded in Italy while their steamer is being repaired. With them are the Dannreuthers. The six are headed for Africa, presumably to sell vacuum cleaners but actually to buy land supposedly loaded with uranium. They are joined by others who apparently have similar designs.

Fantom Kiler 2 (1999)





 Fantom Kiler 2 (1999)

For Fantom Kiler 2, which delves into the origins of its eponymous maniac, director Roman Nowicki (AKA Trevor Barley) once again assembles the cream of Poland's stripping industry for more wanton sleaze and deviancy, only this time around proceedings prove far less interesting thanks to a distinct lack of humour and Nowicki's irritating tendency to linger far too long on each and every scene (even the most lurid of acts are reduced to utter tedium, and when a hot, nekkid woman with live jump leads clamped to her tits starts to get boring, then there's something seriously wrong!).  (BA_Harrison IMDB)

Against popular opinion - I really dug the first FANTOM KILER joint. I thought that it was stylish, sexy, sleazy, misogynistic, and funny - and that's a hard combo to pull together successfully - but I feel that it pulled it off pretty damn well. FK2 is decent, but lacks a good bit of the "charm" of the first film. The "style" is still there, but this entry tries to take itself a little too seriously while still delivering the sleaze - and it doesn't work as well... (EVOL666 IMDB)

Wanda, the Sadistic Hypnotist (1969)


 Wanda, the Sadistic Hypnotist (1969)

We meet a man on the street who has just taken drugs. He gazes into a shop window and the statues of nude women become real. He then wanders down the street and into a movie theater. He watches first a feature on a nudist camp — standard fare in those days. Then begins a second movie whose titles are presented the same way as the one WE are watching. Every few minutes we shift from this movie within to the guy in the theater, just watching.

Okay, the movie within is of a fellow knocked cold by an automobile accident caused by our Wanda, an ultratall woman who is the leader of a gang of women hedonists. She takes our hapless Sylvester to her home, where he is whipped, bound, screwed and ultimately hypnotized.

Meanwhile, a sex maniac has escaped from the local "funny farm." The radio warns us that he is a sex-crazed maniac who (the radio tells us) goes berserk with drugs. This fellow — wearing a coat that says "State Fun-ee Farm" — shows up at Wanda's, where else? He seems to be the same guy watching in the theater, who, I think is the writer/director.

Hmm, starts to get interesting. He invades, whipping the girls and holding them at gunpoint. Sex, naturally. He frees the captive driver and together the two men find the LSD — a bottle marked "LSD" in inch high letters. Everyone takes it and what they see is the last 15 minutes but five.

The maniac is then returned to the loony bin, the motorist (Sylvester, hypnotized into forgetting) is returned to his repaired Buick. Our moviegoer leaves the theater, enters his car, runs over nails set by Wanda and is kidnapped like Sylvester was.

...this was the last movie that Gary Graver worked on before tying up with Orson Welles for Welles' most ambitious — and now lost, project.
