Blutiger Freitag (1972)
Brutal euro crime exploitation produced in Germany in the early 70’s ‘ that easily ranks alongside the bruising likes of ‘Violent Naples’, ‘Almost Human’, and Michael Apted ‘s ‘‘The Squeeze’ etc. With a ballsy, genuinely frightening performance from the muscular and enigmatic Raimund Harmsdorf; plentiful amounts of splenetic, bone-breaking violence and a blistering score from the estimable Francesco ‘new york ripper’ De Masi and you have an all-time Goliath of grindhouse madness that delivers bravura, hardboiled 70s thuggery unlike any other.
