The fantom kiler saga is something worth viewing. The plot, if I dare to call this a plot, is the same in the 3 movies. A girl strips with a lot of fog, blue-red lights and appropriate music. At the end of the show she is killed by a masked character. next day 2 stupid policemen arrive and take some pictures of the crime scene. After some uninteresting discussion about their own incompetence they leave and all is set for the next sequence. Identical, but with a different girl. It is not bad as the actresses are beautiful, and the murders are not realistic at all. It certainly can't be taken seriously. The girls killed in one episode are back, alive and well in the next, ready to be butchered again. Good for them and for us as they are very cute. This 3rd episode, as usual is an erotic movies, with a loose story to link the strip sequences. Here the story is a bit more elaborated. We even get some clue about the masked killer. There is some gore when a woman get a chainsaw and cut the owner of a garage and his assistant in small bits. Funny and surprising for a fantom kiler movie but the sequence is too long. In fact, all is too long in this movie, and it is boring. You get your usual batch of stripping and slashing but the naive charm of the 2 others is gone. Beware ! This is absolutely not great cinema. It is pointless to speak about acting, story or direction, and the FX are limited to a smoke machine, blue-red lights and some zoom effects. If you are new to the series this one is not the best to begin. My advice is to watch the 2 others but this one can be skipped.

Now that I have finally decided on it that the 'Fantom Kiler' movies are really supposed to be porn, I still can't appreciate them for what they are.

Here is the third movie out of the series and not an awful lot has changed since the first entry. As a matter of fact, nothing has changed at all. The set up and 'story' are still all the same and even the dreadful music hasn't changed. No, they really didn't tried hard to come up with something new and original and it's just being a rehash of the first two movies.

I really don't see what is the appeal of these movies. So there are supposedly supposed to be soft-core porn productions but all that this movie features are a bunch of (not even very attractive) girls slowly stripping, who afterward get murdered. Nothing else happens, sex-wise. So naked girls and killings, is there actually a video/DVD market for that? Appearantly so, since they even made a fourth movie after this one.

It's really annoying how this movie in its style and set up is being completely the same like the other first two. Even the same sets get used over and over again, as if director Roman Nowicki has a basement in which he shoots all of his movies, ever since he started out. Looking at this movie, that really isn't implausible.

What makes this movie even worse than its predecessors is that for the first time they also attempted to add some special effects to the movie. Someone should had tapped them on the shoulder and said; just don't! It's some absolutely awful, amateurish looking stuff.

Such a slow and uninteresting movie to watch, in which nothing good or exciting ever happens. I just can't see how anyone could ever get something out of this movie.

2/10

Roman Nowicki's recipe for his giallo-inspired Fantom Kiler movies is simple: naked Eastern European babes, baby oil, Jess Franco-style gynaecological crotch shots, and unconvincing death scenes. Once again, a fedora-wearing, leather gloved, masked, knife-wielding maniac is slaughtering hot women, leaving the local police baffled; is the Fantom Kiler back, or could the killings be the work of a copycat? Those who have already endured Nowicki's first two FK films will find nothing new here, the director employing exactly the same visual style as before, with obvious indoor sets swathed in coloured lighting and fog, and every scene dragged out for so long that the result is almost always tedium (this film runs for 95 minutes, which is at least half an hour too long for this kind of trash).

A modicum of fun is to be had halfway through, when one plucky naked woman turns the tables on a pair of sex pest garage mechanics, her revenge involving a chainsaw and a can of orange juice (it's meant to be petrol, but it looked like Capri Sun to me), but this scene also outstays its welcome (even her visit to the garage toilet lasts an age, with her farting, peeing like a donkey, and taking a dump!). There's also a few giggles to be had as the same woman stops her car for the killer, and asks 'How do I know you're a policeman?'. The twist ending reveals the psycho at large to be a blonde sex worker ridding herself of any competition, but in a flurry of bad special effects, the real Fantom Kiler magically appears to teach her a lesson.

1.5/10, rounded up to 2 for sneaking in that trusty giallo prop, a bottle of J&B.

Ho hum, it's not as if the first two were that good but this is a really lazy effort. It actually begins very well indeed and the credit sequence is probably the best thing in it. There are a couple of other 'interesting' scenes of course but there is far too much, so called humorous conversation among the many men who keep their clothes on. And the cardinal sin here is that after faltering and literally at one point coming to a complete stop we proceed towards a most disappointing climactic scene! This film if it deserves to be called such and not just a series of part completed scenes eases to a halt halfway through and then slowly goes downhill. Despite the supposedly surprise twist the second half is desperate stuff. That means that there is about 25 minutes of fairly sensational sumptuous naked flesh and bloody violence and the rest mundane to appalling. Did I mention the editing and the dialogue!?

Clocking in at 98 minutes this is way too long for this kind of trash. By now we do have seen it all and this flick doesn't add anything to the franchise. It's better then part 2 but still part 1 was the best. What we do have here is a bit of the same with girls walking naked and not doing anything else to be honest.

The only difference with the previous entries is the use of, ahum, special effects. But even that is rather ridiculous. A screwdriver is used to hurt a leg and it do works out fine but the chainsaw doesn't. It takes too long before the leg is cut off and the blood used doesn't work at all. And the effect of the fire is really cheap. But face it, nobody watches this for the story. Even as the fantom kiler has a weird effect on him towards the end it's the girls that makes you watch it. But don't expect things like part one. The strip act watched by the cops isn't erotic at all.

And we all know that Part 4 is out there...
