The only horror director of any fame to come from Argentina, Emilio Vieyra ("The Curious Dr. Humpp"), made the first of his low budget genre films with this minor shocker. Mauricio De Ferraris stars as a police inspector named Ernesto Lauria, who must solve the case of a masked maniac who injects women with heroin, and also uses organ music to turn them into zombie slaves.
Don't look for a particularly coherent story with this one, but you can expect a fair amount of black & white atmosphere. You can also enjoy a decent serving of sleaze, a steady assortment of sexy young women, and the creepiness of the villain. The mask he wears may be the most noteworthy thing about him. The performances are not great but they are adequate. The mystery to be solved is not all that difficult to deduce. The music is the work of a man named Victor Buchino, who also composed the song performed by one of our suspects in a nightclub. Pacing is efficient enough, resulting in a movie that wraps up in just over 70 minutes.
"Feast of Flesh" a.k.a. "The Deadly Organ" (as it is known here in North America) is no great shakes, but lovers of foreign B horror may appreciate its sense of weirdness and its ambience.
Five out of 10.
