ElijahCSkuggs The Fantom Kiler series, to my knowledge, is THE series you want if you're looking for hot naked chicks getting killed. Because that's all this flick is. Whatever small filler there is to possibly create the illusion of a story is so damn meaningless it's ridiculous. A few of the reviewers here make mention of it being related to a giallo. Yeah, okay, who gives a crap. All I saw was an excuse to get hot polish babes butt nekkid, and then murdered. With such a sore excuse for a story, the movie overall is kind of tedious. But with high quality woman bending and bleeding all over the place, the movie does keep you pretty in tune with what's going on. Also, there were some bits of humor that were surprisingly silly, of course they were also incredibly sexual. Like I said earlier, if you're looking to see some hot chicks kick the bucket (who isn't), then give these flicks a shot. You probably won't regret it.
adriangr If you have any perception of "Fantom Kiler" being a sexually explicit slasher movie, then think again. What we have here is 82 minutes of cheap home made pornography.There's no plot to speak of, just a succession of naked ladies. The entire thing is filmed as one massive masturbation fantasy. The few male roles are comedy toilet cleaners and police officers, who are dubbed with an audio quality that doesn't sound anything like the rest of the film's soundtrack! Oh yes, and the murders are fixated on the vagina and the anus. I can imagine the director getting into a froth of excitement over each drawn out scene of chase, stripping and sexually related death (all the women are directed to act as though sexually aroused during their murders). There are a total of 4 sets - an office, a lobby, a bedroom and a forest (which looks to be about 5 meters square and indoors). All the women in the film become naked and oiled up (?), sometimes within mere seconds of appearing on the screen. And there are plenty of extremely explicit close ups. Some of the film is based around two toilet cleaners who imagine what all the women who pass by would look like naked...cue lots of footage of women naked. We also spend nearly 15 minutes watching one of the cleaners stick a wooden spoon up some girl's butt.Take it from me, "Fantom Kiler" is pornography, nothing more. It's also not even Polish (which is what it's trying to look like, but they can't even do that convincingly). It's a film about naked women...everything else is an afterthought, in fact it's practically a waste of time trying to review it in the horror/thriller genre at all.
HumanoidOfFlesh "Fantom Kiler" is definitely the most sexually violent giallo ever made.It makes "The New York Ripper" and "Giallo a Venezia" look tame.The plot is simple:A small town is plagued with a series of brutal slayings of young women.The bodies are found naked and savagely mutilated.A misogynistic serial killer(Fantom Kiler)is unstoppable!The film is packed with the scenes of sexual violence,there's also plenty of sex and explicit nudity.Still the killings are very stylish and really sick-one victim is literally raped with the knife!The acting is pretty bad,but the ladies are really sexy.However I don't think this film is Polish at all.I'm from Poland and I know Polish horror genre very well,but I've never heard about Roman Nowicki before.In fact this sleazy series(yes,there are also "Fantom Kiler 2" and "Fantom Kiler 3")isn't even known in Poland.The funniest thing is that the Polish and Russian dialogue doesn't even match with English subtitles(actually some Polish lines were clearly stolen from various Polish films like "Nic Smiesznego" or "Tato").I'm fairly sure that this film was made in the UK and the credits are all pseudonyms-just like in "Last House on Dead End Street".This is surely very mysterious!All in all if you like erotic horror movies give this one a look.Recommended.
Moshing Hoods Women are frequent victims of violence in horror films, and therefore it's hardly surprising that horror cinema has had its fair share of criticisms of misogyny. The Europeans, especially, really know how to push the envelope. Graphic, sexualised violence and gore in movies like GIALLO A VENEZIA, THE NEW YORK RIPPER, DELIRIUM and THE KILLER IS AMONG US have been well documented. Some films went even further with their portrayals of violence against women. In movies such as LATE NIGHT TRAINS and HOUSE ON THE EDGE OF THE PARK, women are frequently shown to *enjoy* sexual assault and rape. This outrageous "porno rape" lack of morality is very uncomfortable to watch.FANTOM KILER, a modern giallo from Poland that has made a lot of waves in the horror scene, takes these concepts and goes far further than anyone ever has before. The result is a truly reprehensible, sickeningly misogynistic work that is impossible to defend. If ever there was a piece of celluloid that could be accused of being an incitement to rape, it is this.Thin on story-line, FANTOM KILER is no more than a series of tableux of sexual violence. A man with a bandaged face stalks and murders beautiful women in highly stylised scenes, which utilise a lot of clever editing and modern digital effects. However, the truly shocking aspect of this film is the nature of the killings. Every female victim is beautiful and looks like a glamour model, and the set-ups to each murder scene are very reminiscent of those in porn loops. For example, a woman's car breaks down in the woods, and she gets lost, having her clothes slowly torn away by the trees and fences she has to climb over. The women are dressed and filmed in a worryingly provocative way. When the killings come, they invariably revolve around genital mutilation. Although no gory details are explicitly shown, it is VERY clear what is going on.Despite the lack of gore, the killings are amongst the most shocking I've ever seen in a movie, mainly because it is obliquely suggested that the female victims ENJOY their assault. They act aroused, touch the killer affectionately and sensitively, and in some cases appear to achieve "orgasm" as they die. The dialogue backs this up too.There is no way this film can be defended. It plays like a porn movie for potential killers. I have never seen such a film totally devoid of morality. Even in other highly contentious movies (such as FORCED ENTRY) there is at least criticism or an attempt to create repulsion at the scenes of violence being shown. Not so here. This eroticises misogyny and tries to make pornography out of sexual violence, with the "they all like it really" mentality taken as far as it could possibly go.Literally unbelievable. This is the movie that censors, critics and feminists want to exist, and I hope they never get to see it.
