**_It’s, um… creative_** Students at a woman’s college in England are turning up dead by poisonous gas or acid, which draws the attention of two Scotland Yard detectives. Witnesses tell of a mysterious person with a red monk robe and conical-shaped hood lurking around. What’s going on? A West German production, “The College Girl Murders” (1967) is a colorful Krimi, a crime mystery/thriller based on Edgar Wallace’s novel “The Black Abbot.” The original name is “The Monk with the Whip” (translated). It’s similar to a Giallo, but with stabs of humor revolving around the bald inspector who plays opposite the smooth, handsome one (Joachim Fuchsberger). I thought this was going to be a precursor to the slashers of the 70s-80s, but it’s more multi-dimensional with the likes of mad scientists, a James Bond-ish mastermind & weapons, a quirky 60’s score, poisonous Bibles, a red “clansman” brandishing a whip, and so on. To be expected in light of the milieu, there are several fetching females on hand, such as blonde Grit Boettcher as Betty. While I suppose it’s overall meh, it’s oddball and entertaining enough for those interested. The movie runs 1 hour, 27 minutes, and was shot at Spandau Studios and on location in West Berlin. GRADE: B-
