(1969, Anamorphic Widescreen) Rosanna Yanni, Janine Reynaud, Chris Howland, Alexander Engel, Adrian Hoven, Michel Lemoine, directed by Jess Franco. This "Red Lips" series entry could easily pass as a spy movie, an action thriller, even a comedy. But since there’s a mad artist with a wolf man assistant, we decided to stash it in our horror section. The wolf man’s name is Morpho, an obvious tip of the hat to Franco’s earlier mad assistant in The Awful Dr. Orloff. And the film definitely has some Orloff influences as Morpho finds and kills beautiful women for his crazed artist master. Our Red Lips girls, Yanni and Reynaud, are two female detectives trying to expose the killers. There’s a lot of goofy, inane comedy, but there are some cool serious moments, too. Yanni looks SO good in a bikini! Great color, 35mm.
