El Muerte Hace las Manetas (1972)

Muerto Hace las Maletas, El (1972, SPA/GER) C-78m. *½ D: Jess Franco. Starring Fred Williams, Elisa Montés, Horst Tappert, Luis Morris, Barbara Rütting, Rainer Basedow, Wolfgang Kieling, Jess Franco. One of the last German (Brian Edgar) Wallace adaptations vaguely resembles a giallo. A black-gloved killer is roaming the streets of London by night, carefully packing his victim's suitcase before dispatching them (the victims). Incredibly muddled, confused plot sinks this early on. Manuel Merino's camerawork, using unusual lenses and angles, is the only thing worth seeing here. English title: THE CORPSE PACKS HIS BAGS.
