Review of The French Sex Murders

This one looks very cheaply made but it has a somewhat innovative plot. Did they still execute people by guillotine in france in the 70s? Cause if so i'm sorry but I was laughing when the judge doled out that sentence. Regardless, this one almost seems more noir-ish than I would have expected, it's a pretty interesting movie and hard to classify. It may be classified as a giallo but it seems to only have made the barest effort to be one, most likely it was made for that milieu but the ideas about it were scattered; it seems to like action but also wants to add in a police procedural element. It's all over the place. Unfortunately the low budget is very visible in this movie, and the kills are just annoying the way the color is always changing, but the plot is still engaging. You know what I finally realized after finishing the movie? This thing is closer to an American grindhouse film than anything else.
