Fear City (1984)
A definite step up from the likes of the grimy and dark Driller Killer, this third feature from Abel Ferrara is bathed in cool nigh time blues and greens, although this is still a fine piece of exploitation in it's own right.
Starring Tom Berenger, Billy Dee Williams and a scene stealing early performance from future star Melanie Griffith as a stripper in a Manhattan club where the girls are being hunted down by a serial killer.
Sexy and visceral in it's portrayal of violence, this is my favourite of Ferrara's seventies and eighties output.
