 The Massage Parlour Murders! (1973) – Charles Fox/Alex Stevens.

A maniacally misogynistic monotheist is viciously dissembling beautifully put-together masseurs in gnarly 70s Grindhouse slasher The Massage Parlour Murders! Not only a fascinating time-capsule of Times Square, and the dingier vectors of pre-gentrified NYC, the plentiful, sex-on-legs female cheesecake, and a noisome, ear-wormingly satisfying lounge Jazz/stoner fuzz score provides the Moorish icing on this delectable midnight movie confection. Fans of maestro H.G. Lewis's sleazoid death-o-rama classic The Gore Gore Girls are sure to appreciate the seamier elements of lurid exploitation gem The Massage Parlour Murders! In this instance, the low budget doesn't impinge upon the watchability, in fact, the hand-held, no-permits guerrilla film-making aesthetic merely galvanizes the film's raw nerve intensity. Granted, it remains undeniably grimy Drive-in fare, but frequently delivering a dynamic charge of dingy delirium, making skid row slasher The Massage Parlour Murders! A bona fide, babe-stuffed, B-Movie banger, one that generously offers patrons a happy ending!
