ok nah

source: The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh

Lo strano vizio della signora Wardh

Edwig fenech and George hilton have done quite a few films together and this is possibly one of the best in my humble opinion.

A black gloved sex killer is on the loose,slaughtering women in Vienna.The American ambassador's wife(Edwige Fenech)begins to believe that he's targeting her when she receives a blackmail call and two of her friends get slashed."Lo Strano Vizio della Signora Wardh" aka "Blade of the Ripper" is an interesting Italian giallo with plenty of suspense and some gruesome killings.The score by Nora Orlandi is truly beautiful and there are some interesting visuals.There is also plenty of sleaze and nudity to satisfy fans of Italian cult cinema.Check it out.My rating:8 out of 10.

Wow! This one really moves, from the very beginning we are assaulted with seeming misogynist activity involving nakedness and blood. With barely time to breath we are drawn into a fast moving and shocking tale involving a knife slashing serial killer and the beautiful Edwige Fenech's real, imagined or remembered images of violent rape culminated in ecstatic sex. Heady stuff indeed and if that all were not enough Edwige seems unable to keep any clothes on for at least the first half hour. Things calm down a little for a while as we admire the fantastic set design and score at one moment threatening at another sweet and seductive and in accompaniment to the vicious rape scenes almost religious. We struggle to work out just who is killing who as the film turns into a thriller before the wonderful and exciting last part where the twists and turns are for once surprising and a joy to behold. Excellent. Not much finesse but everything else
