Raro Video and Kino officially announced and detailed today the Blu-ray release of Fernando Di Leo's
La bestia uccide a sangue freddo a.k.a.
Slaughter Hotel (1971), starring Klaus Kinski, Margaret Lee, Rosalba Neri, and Monica Strebel. The release will be available for purchase on December 9th.
From the maestro of mayhem, Fernando Di Leo (
Rulers of the City, Manhunt) comes one of the sleaziest and nastiest slasher films ever made. Starring Klaus Kinski (Herzog's
Nosferatu), and two of Europe's most sizzling cinematic sex queens - Margaret Lee (Ricardo Freda's
Double Face, Jess Franco's
Venus in Furs, Psycho Circus), Rosalba Neri (
Lady Frankenstein, Devil's Wedding Night, The Arena with Pam Grier). An axe-wielding maniac stalks the beautiful, scantily-clad women of an upscale sanitarium, all under the watchful eye of the mysterious Dr. Keller (Kinski). Equal and excessive doses of slash and skin make for a very European-style of grindhouse entertainment.
