What happens

The French Sex Murders (Italian: Casa d'appuntamento, lit. 'House of Rendezvous') is a 1972 giallo film directed by Ferdinando Merighi under the pseudonym "F. L. Morris" and edited by Bruno Mattei. It was released as The French Sex Murders in the United States, The Bogey Man and the French Murders in the United Kingdom, and Meurtre dans la 17e avenue in France. It stars Rosalba Neri, Anita Ekberg, Barbara Bouchet, Howard Vernon and Gordon Mitchell. The actor who played the police inspector in this film (Robert Sacchi) was a professional Humphrey Bogart lookalike, which explains the alternate "Bogey Man" title. Special effects technician Carlo Rambaldi handled the throat slashings and beheadings that take place in the movie. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
