Bloody Moon

Jess Franco doing a slasher for German money, which meant a plot he did not write and a body count he had to hit.

A Spanish language school for young women, a disfigured man released from an institution, and a series of killings. Franco shoots it with more coverage and less drift than his own films usually have, because the producers were paying for a product.

There is a sequence involving a stone-cutting saw that is the reason for both the notoriety and the prosecution, and it is filmed in one long take in bright sunlight.

A snake is killed on camera and a child is killed on camera, the latter being unusual enough that several territories cut it regardless of the DPP.

Successfully prosecuted. Franco made around 170 films and this is nobody's favourite.
