The French Sex Murders
Casa d'appuntamento
After a French prostitute is found dead, one of her regular clients is tried and convicted for her murder. He is eventually sentenced to death but dies in a high speed pursuit after attempting to escape custody. Soon, the witnesses that testified against him end up being systematically murdered by a mysterious killer wearing black gloves.
Why it matters
A lurid giallo that blends French eroticism with the genre’s signature whodunit chills, The French Sex Murders is a sleazy, stylish slice of early ’70s Euro horror.
- One of the few French entries into the giallo canon, mixing the genre’s obsession with black-gloved killers and voyeurism with Parisian decadence.
- Features pulpy, atmospheric set pieces drenched in moody lighting and a score that echoes Goblin’s influence without the budget.
- Notorious for its explicit content and raw, unpolished vibe—this is grindhouse territory, not polished Argento.
- Ideal for fans of Eurotrash horror who appreciate the genre’s seedy underbelly and uneasy blend of eroticism and violence.
- A rough gem for those curious about giallo’s reach beyond Italy and how regional flavors warp the formula.
