"Early grindhouse Proto-Slasher, presumed lost, until found and released by Vinegar Syndrome, that I watched on Tubi. It's also known under the name 'No Tears For The Damned', which apparently has a slightly longer beginning and is my preferred title because there isn't actually much strangling until the end, as the first victims are despatched in other ways.

The middle part of the film is much better, hardly what you would call profe..."

πŸ’‘ Did You Know?

AKA "The Las Vegas Strangler". Never mind the cut shower scene, a patently inferior title, as only the last 2 of his victims are strangled and for only one of those was it the ultimate cause of death. Meanwhile, Vegas newspaper headlines call him, appropriately, "The Showgirl Killer", while the song "Ain't no Tears for the Damned" is played repeatedly as a kind of theme for Jim's stalking his victims.
