Not so easy to sum up what a Questi film is about. This one probably harder than most.
The DVD cover states “Anna and Marco run an automated state of the art facility and develop a strain of boneless mutant chickens. Marco appears to lead a double life as a serial killer who specialises in stabbing prostitutes to death. When Anna’s amorous cousin Gabri starts a steamy affair with Marco and discovers his darker side, she plans to murder Anna and frame Marco for the crime.”
But that doesn’t come close to giving a clue to its wonderful weirdness. I prefer how Quest himself described it in the second Western All’italiana book when recounting how he pitched it to the uninterested producer he wound up making Django Kill! for.
“Kim and I are writing something really hot. A story full of chickens and eroticism. Do you know Bataille? Something like that, with the chickens as a bonus.”
Oh lucky you!! He is one member of movie royalty I would loved to have met. Forget Dennis Muran. I have the DVD version on my Amazon wishlist.
I have a Harryhausen section on my DVD rack. With Jack the Giant Killer as Harryhausen imitation.
