Asylum Erotica

Slow-moving, low on gore but packing plenty of sex and sleaze, 'Cold-Blooded Beast' boasts stylish Cinemascope compositions and strong atmosphere. The plot is simple: a masked killer terrorises an asylum for rich women. The basic story doesn't seem to progress any further throughout the film. The scenes ofwith the nymphomaniac patient( the gorgeous Rosalba Neri) seducing everyone who comes across, mostly asylum staff members("I'm just a gardener!") and nurse having sex with another patient are the main selling points of the film. If you don't like like Eurosleaze, read no further, go watch something less controversial, because Fernando Di Leo doesn't shy away from softcore sex here! Top-billed Klaus Kinski as Dr.Keller appears on the screen for the whole of fifteen minutes(just like he did in D'Amato's "Death smiles at murder")and doesn't put much effort in his role. If you like your movies tight-plotted, and furnishing logical explanations for all the events, skip 'Cold-Blooded Beast'. This movie makes little sense, but is packed full of wild sexual and homicidal emotions instead. If you like movies like Renato Polselli's "Delirium" or Mario Landi's "Patrick Still Lives", check this one out.
