Also known as Violent Blood bath this film revolves around a Judge from France who is holidaying in Spain with his wife. The Judge has a reputation for imposing the death penalty, While he is there murders start occurring with the same MO as cases he has presided over and for which he has handed down the death penalty.

He starts to help the police after he quickly realises the connection.

Also involved are a man who believes the death penalty should be abolished and who has tracked the judge to Spain to show him the error of his ways, an actor and a girl he has just met who become early suspects.. After the third killing (the actor) the wife realises that her husband is the killer. The judge tries to kill his wife in a remote house he has rented. The Anti death penalty man saves her (after getting to the house in supersonic time) and the judge kills himself.

Not the best Giallo you will ever see but Fernando Rey is good as the judge as is the very pretty Marisa Mell as his wife. Don't expect a lot of violence and blood though.

I am a sucker for bad movies the type that are so bad they are good, unfortunately this isn't one of them. The story consists of two friends from collage going for a break to Tenkiller Lake so one of them can get a break from her abusive boyfriend. Why one of the 'girls' still goes to colleague is a mystery as she looks old enough to be one of the teachers .Surprise, Surprise there is a killer picking off young girls.

The killer is revealed early so no need to wrack your brains trying to figure it out.

There are many faults with this film including bad acting and the ever so slow pace of the movie. I still can't work out why the killer cuts off creature's arm after killing him, and why creature has a boneless arm, I assume it's boneless seeing as the killer cuts through it such ease.

The reason given for why the lake is called Tenkiller lake is so called is not the greatest legend I have heard in a movie.

I gave the film 1 star because the lake did look nice but next time girls go to Crystal Lake at least live moves a little faster there.

I felt a bit mean by giving only 2 stars but thinking about it I may have been a bit generous. The acting was terrible, The plot had potential but didn't achieve its potential or anywhere near it. at some points it was so dark I could not see what was going on (which was probably a blessing). At the start of the film there is a long scene of a car travelling around the streets and I thought the film would never start, unfortunately it did. As other reviewers have pointed out what happened to the character who was in the restaurant near the start of the film? Maybe she realised how bad the film was going to be and took the advice of the title. Probably the worse crime of this film was the the characters were so unlikable I didn't care what happened to them. As for the ending if you get to it (and you will wonder why you have) you will be scratching your head like the rest of us.
