Would it surprise you to know that Tower of Evil, a British proto-slasher from 1972, probably contains more gore and sex/nudity than most of the early 80's slasher flicks? It's true and quite a pleasant surprise to see a film from this vintage being so explicit and all in service of a silly, but fun story.
A nude young woman (see, right out of the gate, this movie is sleazy) is discovered on a deserted island where all of her friends have been murdered. She's taken to a hospital where they try to figure out what exactly happened to her. A group of investigators head to the island and find themselves picked off one by one by someone or something. It might be a creature or just a mad slasher, but why are they doing this?
Tower of Evil is a nice mix between the slasher genre and a Hammer film with a good deal of grindhouse sleaze thrown into the mix. Pretty much everyone gets naked or has sex at some point and almost everyone meets a gruesome, bloody end.
