Kerwin Matthews, playing a dissolute drifter down on his luck, is stranded in a cheap bar in Spain where he falls for Annette, the pretty daughter of the proprietor, played by Nadia Gray. Nadia Gray gradually shifts the young man's attentions to herself, rather than her daughter, and together Matthews and Gray concoct a plot to help Gray's estranged husband, now a homicidal maniac confined in an institution after a grisly series of killings dubbed "The Acetylene Murders" by the press, out of the mental institution so he can escape from the country.

The conclusion is a little overcomplicated, as if the creators were trying to confuse everything at the last minute unnecessarily stretching it out, but still, I feel like this is truly one of the first examples of slashers. It's not Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but it has its own style, its own poetics, which is sometimes truly insane. I like this. Even back then, the creators were trying to go a little further. It's not that far, but sometimes you have to take smaller steps so that the audience doesn't go crazy.
