I Vizi Morbosi Di Una Governante (aka Crazy Desires Of A Murderer) (1977)

A wealthy playgirl (Isabelle Marchall) returning from a trip to the Orient brings several friends home with her to relax at the family estate. But instead of a fun holiday, a series of bloody murders begins occurring. Directed by Filippo Walter Ratti (using the pseudonym Peter Rush), this is a candidate for one of the worst gialli I have ever seen. I don't expect much logic in a giallo but I do expect some style and some atmosphere, both of which this movie lacks. Gratuitous sex scenes abound so that the film takes on the aspect of softcore porn! An irrelevant subplot involving the trafficking of illegal drugs is a red herring that has nothing to do with the serial killings. In spite of the film's lurid title, the murderer has no "crazy" desires other than greed. The underscore by Piero Piccioni is decent enough though. With Corrado Gaipa, Annie Carol Edel, Roberto Zattini, Gaetano Russo and Adler Gray.
