I was on an IMDb quest for Bloodlust, a film from 1961, (horrible movie, btw, don't bother), and came upon this listing in my search. Reading about THIS Bloodlust movie made me curious, so I tracked it down on YouTube.
This is a Swiss horror film from 1977 with the original title Mosquito der Schänder (Mosquito The Rapist). I can understand the name change because our lead never actually has sex in this film, although others do. The version I saw was in the original German, without subtitles. I don't speak German, but as it turned out, I didn't need to. This could be a silent movie and you'd understand it just fine. In fact, the lead in this film portrays a deaf mute, and there is little dialog in the film anyway, as it mostly centers on him, and his violent interaction with dead women. And the great thing about dead people is they have nothing to say.
This is a truly creepy film in many ways, but suffers a bit from a low budget. Had this been an American film, I'm pretty sure it would have received an X rating in 1977, and would still receive an R if released today. The lesbian scenes and violence didn't bother me, but the drunken-Daddy/daughter part had me squirming in my seat. I'm not sure you'd want your kids watching the scenes where he's sucking the blood of dead women with a dual-pronged pipette either.
Definitely worth a watch for adult horror fans. Frankly, I didn't know the Swiss had this kind of movie in them.
