SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

'Nude per l'assassino' is a seldom example of a Seventies-sleaze film, able to put its lavish amount of nudity in the shade of a thrilling plot.In other words: never mind all nudity, for in its tense and plot-building 'Nude per l'assassino' is truly first-class. Reminding us of Hitchcock.Being Italian, it goes without saying that its tasty & well-chosen picturing adds pretty much to your pleasure of watching. In spite of being done in the cheap, even to Seventies-standards.However, the most important weakness of this film is the quality of its acting. In this you recognize its B-status, in which 'Nude per l'assassino' was meant to be shot. As I said, it comes out much better.

If you like giallo movies, then you can't afford to miss Andrea Bianchi's "Nude per l'assassino" ("Strip Nude for Your Killer" in English). Gory, politically incorrect, and basically not afraid to do anything that it wants, the movie is just plain fun. It depicts a series of murders following a botched illegal abortion. And all of the murders target people connected to the woman who died in the abortion.Of course, the movie is basically an excuse for a lot of blood and a plethora of naked women (as implied by the title). The main star is Edwige Fenech*, who frequently appeared in giallo movies. It simply looks like the sort of movie that they wanted to make. Yes, one can make the argument that it's a trashy litany of sexism, but the movie makes no pretense about what it is; quite the opposite, it wears its trashiness on its sleeve. Very fun to watch. Of course, it would've probably been more fun to get to be on the set with Edwige Fenech. You just gotta love this sort of flick.*More recently, Fenech produced "The Merchant of Venice" starring Al Pacino, and Quentin Tarantino paid homage to her in "Inglourious Basterds": Mike Myers's character was named Ed Fenech.

The title of this movie sounds promising enough. And so does its concept. But the movie just doesn't deliver. It's not an horrible movie but it remains a disappointing one nevertheless.Guess it's a Giallo but it just doesn't feel like a traditional one to me. It takes some wrong approaches and at times this can be a clumsy looking movie. Let's just say that Andrea Bianchi ain't no Dario Argento.And for a movie with the word nude in its title...the movie does has an awful lot of nudity in it! I have seen porn with less nudity and sex than than movie has. Can't really say it always serves its purpose, story-wise, though the movie does luckily feature plenty of beautiful young Italian women in it, so what am I exactly complaining about.But the movie does only really 'shock' with its nudity. Blood, gore and violence is present in this movie but it just never felt as if it was being the movie its main ingredient. It will disappoint the fans of the genre and quite frankly there aren't really ever enough killings in this movie, or perhaps the problem is that there is too much time between them and it all seems to happen very random, without any apparent logic behind them. It also makes the mystery behind whodunit far less interesting.It also makes the movie as a whole just not very interesting to watch. This is also because it features lots of pointless sequences, that let the movie start to drag. It all still could had been good and interesting if some more horror/slasher stuff was going on.It's also weird that the movie its main character isn't always present throughout the movie. It also doesn't help him that he isn't being a very likely person. Just a typical Italian playboy, that looks too old to be still hanging around and fooling around with young beautiful women.Really not the most intriguing or effective Giallo out there. The first shot is still legendary though!5/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

Being considered among the sleaziest and least of the gialli – not that surprising given the involvement of director Bianchi, who would later be responsible for MALABIMBA (1979) – had made me forego the opportunity of purchasing this film's Blue Underground DVD (where it was dubbed in English anyway); I've now acquired it in the original language, though with the picture compromised in its case (where the 2.35:1 aspect ratio has been opened up to 1.85:1)! While I can certainly concede it's no hidden gem within this prolific genre (especially since it puts much more emphasis on eroticism than bloodshed), the film proved surprisingly palatable as these things go. As ever, we get a plethora of gorgeous women who are made to fight for their lives against the killer and shed their clothes at every possible opportunity: these include genre stalwarts Edwige Fenech – playing her last such heroine – and Femi Benussi – at her sexiest – as well as Solvi Stubing, later the presenter of a 1980s TV program reviewing then-current films on general release in Italy!; there's also an effective score by Berto Pisano (not one of the major names associated with the giallo style but his work here is nonetheless commendable). The plot is nothing to write home about either, that is to say, overly familiar: a handful of people engaged with a modeling agency are targeted by a manic killer sporting a black leather outfit and with facial features hidden behind a crash helmet; it all seems to be connected with an abortion gone wrong which actually opens the film. Typically, then, we're given the choice of numerous suspects – including Nino Castelnuovo, who makes for a rather unsavory leading man for this type of film (although his foul-mouthed outbursts are highly entertaining) – but the final revelation and accompanying motive aren't exactly thrilling (even if I have to admit of being aware of it beforehand from online reviews). As I said, the level of violence seen here isn't too high (where there's gore, it's usually unconvincing and sometimes unlikely – for instance, a castration) and repetitive besides (the same weapon is used every time); the nudity (ranging from scenes depicting lesbianism, the near-rape of a model by an obese and impotent fellow and the concluding light-hearted[!] suggestion of sodomy to avert the possibility of an unwanted pregnancy) is mainly gratuitous, but certainly not lamentable whenever it involves either Fenech or Benussi (the uneasy reaction of a Police Inspector's assistant at her unabashed appearance during an interrogation scene is priceless).
