"Slaughter Hotel" is quite a perplexing film experience… Not so much because of its brilliance, uniqueness or professionalism but because it's so damn addictive despite being one of the most poorly scripted horror film ever made. This is one giant trashy mess in which story-logic, atmosphere and character drawings have all been skipped in favor of more luscious nudity and sleaze. We're welcomed in a resting home for hot & wealthy ladies, with mental problems going from burnouts to nymphomania. There's a team of strange doctors, unprofessional nurses and even a hunky gardener at these ladies' service to help them get over whatever problems they got. In order to make "Slaughter Hotel" at least somewhat resemble to a giallo, director Fernando DiLeo also introduces a mad-raving murderer, typically dressed in black and using the institution's old-fashioned armory decoration as slashing tools. All put together, this results in extended sequences of females having any form of sex (masturbation, lesbian action or actual sex) before brutally getting killed. The basics of exploitation cinema, maybe, but nonetheless a bad movie with too many tedious moments and totally wasting a great cast. I don't think you're meant to care for the killer's identity as his/her motivations largely remain unexplained at the end. There are a lot of things that don't make the least bit of sense (butt-massages??) and the girls, for some reason, all have extended flashbacks with completely irrelevant contents. I suppose that was done to reach a playtime of 90 minutes. Klaus Kinski looks terrifically vicious with his long blond hair but even his presence can't bring much redemption. The murders are gory (especially the grand finale!) but not the least bit disturbing. "Slaughter Hotel" is worth watching for fans of Italian horror but I'm sure everyone will acknowledge that it's nothing more than a poor man's Sergio Martino, Dario Argento or Mario Bava.

A murderous mystery maniac wearing a hood and cape brutally butchers staff and patients alike at a posh all female asylum run by Dr. Keller (the one and only Klaus Kinski sporting modish long hair). Director Fernando Di Leo (who also co-wrote the sordid script with Nino Latino) really pours on the hardcore raunchy and explicit scuzziness in this alarmingly fetid flick, delivering extremely ample and explicit amounts of seamy sex and gory violence with jaw-dropping go-for-it slimy abandon. There's a real leering, nasty, rub-your-nose-in-the-filth grimy and graphic edge to this picture that's a terrifically trashy wonder to behold. Delectable brunette beauty Rosalba "The Devil's Wedding Night" Neri as the resident insatiable nympho ain't the least bit bashful about baring her sleek, shapely body in a much-appreciated steamy shower scene; she later strips in order to seduce the hunky gardener and gets killed while writhing naked in bed. The equally tasty Margaret "Venus in Furs" Lee, Jane Garret, Monica Strebel, and Giora Desideri all likewise dutifully doff their duds in the name of gleefully lowbrow exploitation. Silvano Spadaccino's groovy score neatly alternates between funky, percussive prog-rock and lush orchestral jazz. Franco Villa's snazzy cinematography goes gloriously overboard with crazy tilted angles, sinuous prowling tracking shots and crude, shaky hand-held camera-work. The murder set pieces are every bit as bloody, vicious and sleazy as they ought to be. The seriously sick and twisted over-the-top nutty ending concludes things on a perfectly putrid note. Good lowdown gritty and unapologetically scroungy fun.
