Hollywood Strangler Meets the Skid Row Slasher, The (1979, USA) C-71m. M D: Wolfgang Schmidt (=Ray Dennis Steckler). Starring Pierre Agostino, Chuck Alford, Carolyn Brandt, Forrest Duke. Bottom-of-the-barrel movie tries to capitalize on success of Martin Scorsese's classic TAXI DRIVER (1978). Photographer of nude models Agostino feels compulsed to strangle the posing women. At the same time, a woman starts slicing up bums. Dumb voice-overs, cheap effects, amateurish direction, this one kills itself off early on. Followed by a sequel in 1986! Also known as THE MODEL KILLER.
