Al tropico del cancro

A couple on holiday in Haiti become involved in a series of savage murders. Anita Strindberg and Anthony Steffen star in this giallo potboiler also known as Death in Haiti and absolutely nothing at all do with the famous novel by Henry Miller. When an émigré Doctor, Steffen, invents a new a drug, all manner of slimeballs come out of the woodwork for a piece of the action despite the fact that the side effects – which appear to be instant death and the recipient's blood turning to water – seem to outweigh any possible medicinal or recreational benefits. One by one, anybody wanting to cash in on Steffen's drug is despatched in a creative fashion by a black-leather-gloved assailant. Includes some original footage of Haitian voodoo rituals, and an erotic dream sequence. There's also an appropriately tropical-tinged soundtrack from king of lounge Piero Umiliani.
