Somewhere on the beach: Amidst dozens of partying, fun-loving
teenagers, a dead girl is found, with a syringe sticking in her stomach.
Police inspector Lauria (Maurizio De Farraris) investigates and soon finds
quite a few weirdly drugged women who seem to be in some kind of trance
and react to a certain weird musical tune - a tune the dead girl had on a
record. Before long, many of the drugged girls turn up dead, with a
syringe sticking in their stomachs ...
Soon, the inspector also gets his first glimpse of the killer, a man in
a cheap monster mask, but somehow his investigations get stuck - and he
seems to be more interested in his new girlfriend, teenage Beba (Gloria
Prat) anyways.
Eventually, Beba is attacked by the killer, but she can escape and even
thinks she has recognized the killer's voice as that of Leon Tobias, the
first dead girl's fiancé - but when the inspector goes to arrest him, he
already finds him dead, murdered. The next logical suspect is Silvio
Valverde (Ricardo Bauleo), a shady bar pianist, but ultimately, the
inspector sets a trap for the killer with the help of Beba, and it turns
out to be ... Doctor Bermudaz (Alberto Candeau), local physician and
coroner, who never got over the death of his wife from a drug overdose ...
Now this is a weird one: It's not particularly well-directed, it's
obviously made on the cheap, and its story is rather ridiculous and not
even well-written at that ... yet somehow it has a strange fascination to
it that probably only bad movie lovers like myself will understand. The
whole film, with its silly, tried-and-true story has such an unusual feel
to it it's almost other-worldly. It's one of those films you know you are
supposed to hate - yet you love it anyhow. However, word of warning: Don't
take it seriously for even one single minute or the magic is gone.
