Description

Listen up, queens: Sweets from a Stranger (1987, original title Caramelle da uno sconosciuto) is the Italian thriller that puts the power back where it belongs—with four unstoppable sex workers who refuse to play victim. When a creepy serial killer starts targeting their community in Rome, slicing with a straight razor and sealing the deal with a bolt gun, the police are too busy twiddling thumbs (or worse) to help. Enter Lena, Angela, Nadine, and Stella: these ladies link arms, arm up, and launch their own fierce investigation, turning fear into a full-on hunt.

Directed by Franco Ferrini (the screenwriter behind some Dario Argento gems), this 91-minute hidden gem blends classic giallo tension—moody streets, shadowy stalks, that signature Italian flair—with real bite on sex work stigma, police neglect, and unbreakable female solidarity. The kills deliver gritty thrills, the characters ooze charisma and grit, and the whole vibe flips the script on who gets to be the final girl... or girls.

Not your typical blood-soaked spectacle, but refreshingly bold and empowering for the genre. If you\\\'re ready for a retro ride that\\\'s equal parts suspense, social edge, and sisterhood swagger, grab your popcorn and dive in—because these women aren\\\'t waiting for rescue. They\\\'re serving justice, one suspicious client at a time. Stream it exclusively on SassyFlix and join the revolution. Who\\\'s next? Not them.
