I caught this on the El Rey Network a few years ago, and this weirded me out a lot. Because the villain is played by Klaus Kinski, I did go in expecting him to be a creep, and he certainly delivered. This is about a guy who runs a boardinghouse for women and spies on his tenants through crawlspaces and murders them. It’s weird and uncomfortable to watch, and Kinski’s reputation in real life for having been violent and abusive to his family and colleagues only just makes his performance that much more visceral as a crazed obsessed murderer. In addition, he is the son of a Nazi doctor and has the house rigged so that women became trapped in small spaces and torture devices. It’s a creepy movie, but very memorable and interesting to watch.
