Also known as: L’assassino è costretto ad uccidere ancora, The Dark Is Death’s Friend, The Killer Must Strike Again

Description: A wealthy businessman, trapped in a loveless marriage, stumbles upon a cold-blooded killer disposing of a corpse. Instead of going to the police, he seizes the chance to solve his own problems by blackmailing the murderer into killing his rich wife. But after the deed is done, fate twists cruelly: the killer’s car—containing the body—is stolen by an unsuspecting young couple. As the businessman maintains his alibi under police scrutiny, and the killer hunts down the joyriders, the tension spirals into a nightmarish chase where lust, greed, and brutality collide.

Short Review:
Stylish, unsettling, and refreshingly unconventional, The Killer Must Kill Again breaks from the classic giallo formula by revealing the murderer from the start. With George Hilton’s icy performance and Michel Antoine’s chilling presence, Luigi Cozzi crafts a suspenseful and perversely fascinating thriller that stands out as a unique gem of 1970s Italian horror.
