Seven Blood-Stained Orchids (1972)


Rialto Films
Directed by Umberton Lenzi
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(DVD, Shriek Show)

After an attempted murder on his girlfriend, the couple work with the police and go into hiding, letting the killer think they are dead. Fearing the truth will be discovered, they try to find the killer. Clues lead to a hotel where all of the victims stayed or worked. Meanwhile, the killer is making his way through all of the women in the guest book on a certain day, murdering them in various grisly ways typical of the genre. Unfortunately, Lenzi's direction is lackluster at best, an uneven mix of the German "krimi" and Italian "giallo". The acting is uniformly dull, even Marisa Mell can't liven things up.
