hatchet for the honeymoon (1970)


aka Blood Brides. Il rosso segno della follia. An Axe for the Honeymoon.
"...I must go on wielding the cleaver...'
A man's childhood trauma causes him to end any thoughts of wedding bells for a number of brides to be, as he murders a number of buyers of his bridal gowns.
A twist on the usual giallo formula, as we start off knowing who the killer is as he tells us. Stephen Forsyth plays the murder, who in voice over narrates his torment and need to kill. So the final reveal is not the point here, but the journey, and what a stylish and entertaining journey it is.
