Alfonso Brescia made 51 movies and this was the fiftieth after a long career that included Killer Caliber .32, If One Is Born a Swine, Naked Girl Murdered In the Park, War of the Planets, Star Odyssey, Beast In Space, Iron Warrior, Miami Cops and more. He wrote this as well.
Starlet DuBois (Florence Guérin, who was about a decade late to be a giallo queen but made plenty of fun late in the game entries like Bizarre, Cattive Ragazze, Faceless, Too Beautiful To Die, Knife Under the Throat) transforms at night, kind of like Angel, to become Sherry, a prostitute in Times Square, all to hunt for her brother's murderer. See, or some reason, her brother was playing Russian roulette with a hand grenade that went off and killed three men, injured six others and castrated one of them. Whoever that is, well, they're slicing the members of men all over the Deuce. This worries a cop named Flanigan (David Hess as a good guy?) who wants her out of his turf.
If this all starts to feel like it's referencing Body Double, well, that movie was a giallo, so Brescia is just getting back some interest for the Italians. DePalma's film was called Omicidio a Luci Rosse in Italy, which means Red Light Killer. This is Blue Light Killer.
Brescia was also into music videos at this time in his career - just watch Iron Warrior - and this definitely has that, as well as primitive computer graphics and David Hess in a dress trying to pretend he's Florence Guérin, who is one of the most gorgeous women in the history of, well, existence. And he's David Hess.
