(1965, Upgraded 10/25/21) Karin Dor, Siegfried Lowitz, Harald Leipnitz, Ilse Steppat, Eddi Arent. The setting is a girls’ school where a hooded killer, “the Monk,” lashes his victims to death with a whip. Scotland Yard tries to track him down, but more slayings occur before they can find the killer. The final unmasking scene packs quite a surprise. Karin Dor, as usual, does a great job as the beautiful heroine in peril. Most of the early '60s Edgar Wallace films have a pretty high batting average, including this one. One of the last black-and-white Wallace chillers. From a great 35mm anamorphic print.
