A lot of fun.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

So...do you want to see some nudity? Watch this movie. Also watch the deleted scenes in the extras. Spoiler Alert! 3 guesses as to what i'm gonna say and the first 2 don't count. There is no other reason to watch this movie. It's a vehicle to see desperate moms bare all. (All the nude women are obviously moms. Every one. A cavalcade.) Having said that, it's some good nudity, thus the rating. There is no thrill or suspense. I was never frightened or horrified. I could care less who the killer was. This movie could have been nothing but nudes doing nudish stuff and it would have given me exactly the same level of satisfaction. The beheading scene was almost laughable, except that a high school drama club could've done better special effects, so it was just cinematically sad. Sad emoji. But moments later there's more nudity, so things get better. I recall one of my favorite lines from "Erin Brockovich." "They're called boobs, Ed." I would've given the movie ten stars, but you never see a frontal of the African European woman.

An absolute piece of junk. Someone is using a sickle to murder nurses at a posh mental hospital for what seem to be only swinging women. It takes so long for anything to happen, the viewer is left to marvel at the patients (all of whom look like bug-eyed drag queens) in various states of undress. The bad dubbing only serves to highlight their otherworldliness. Director Fernando Di Leo pulls out a lot of camera pyrotechnics (fish eyed lenses, zooms, hand-held) but it's for naught. The movie is so awkwardly paced, it's ridiculous. The constant strings of the music by Silvano Spaddaccino don't help matters. It sounds like the film was made on a carnival midway. While Di Leo has the good sense to cast Klaus Kinski (also dubbed) as a chain-smoking "world famous" psychiatrist, he gives him nothing at all to do. An unfortunate case of real Euro-trash! Di Leo, a master at making crime thrillers, has rightly deemed this his worst film.

Slaughter Hotel isn't exactly a well-renowned slice of Italian cinema, as most people that have seen it don't exactly have a lot of good things to say about it; but personally, I thought it was rather good! The first half of the film doesn't contain a lot of excitement, as barely anything happens and the time used, which is obviously meant to build up the situation and main characters, isn't exactly fascinating. However, Giallo films are most famous for their style and this film has bags of it! Director Fernando Di Leo makes good use of his colour scheme, and every time the plot starts to get a bit dry - Rosalba Neri (in the role of a nymphomaniac, no less) and her beautiful female co-stars are always on hand to get their kits off. The plot isn't exactly deep, but it's well worked and makes good use of the central setting. We focus on a rest home for rich, beautiful women that like to have sex with just about anyone. The Giallo elements creep in by way of a serial killer going round murdering various members of the cast; but it's obvious that this film is more geared towards fans of exploitation.I can't deny that, really, this is a poor film; but it does everything that you want from Italian seventies cinema so well that it's difficult to hate it. Everything about the movie is over the top - from the brutal murder scenes all the way down to the plethora of sexual activity - and that's nothing but a good thing if you ask me! I don't tend to like films where the killer uses the same weapon over and over again, but that's not a problem with this film as our killer here has a cabinet of medieval relics at his disposal, with all manner of implements from crossbows to swords, all the way down a mace getting covered in blood. The murder scenes aren't very realistic or shocking, but they bode well with the film's style - and this is quite an achievement since the murder plot isn't really relevant to the rest of the movie. Wet-dream Rosalba Neri heads up a decent cast, which includes Klaus Kinski in one of his less memorable roles...but it hardly matters, as it's the women that lead this movie. The ending is totally ridiculous and illogical, but it does feature a great assault on a bunch of female patients and while I don't care who the murderer is; it doesn't matter at all. If you like your films colourful, illogical and sexy; this movie is for you.

Wow! You ever wonder why you are who you are, and how you got this way? I saw this movie in 1973 when I was 12 years old. Didn't know it at the time, but it was happily inappropriate for a group of impressionable pre-teens. My day camp counselor who was about 17 at the time took us to see this along with a karate flick ("The Hong Kong Cat"). It was classic - the counselor and his girlfriend drinking beer & sitting five rows behind nine raucous and rowdy 12 year olds. Then when the first solo shower scene of one of the inmates comes on, followed by a pretty sizzling interracial lesbian vignette, we were dead silent. "Slaughter Hotel" is a roller coaster ride of wood-inducing soft core action, followed by well, slaughter. There are spots where they try to make sense of the story, but its basically a maniac loose in a hospital where all of the female patients are lusty and attractive. I remember thinking how I could get a job at a place like that? Years later it reminded me of the Richard Speck episode from the sixties, where he killed 8 nurses in Chicago. I got this on VHS from Amazon a few years ago, and it maintains its ability to stimulate. Yeah we were all marked after that movie. We later graduated to hard core flicks on 42nd St in NYC, but I digress..Rent this if you can, and see if doesn't maintain your ah, interest. Klaus Kinski probably removed this from his resume, but I consider this one of the godfathers of there slasher genre.
