José Luis Madrid, born in Madrid, is a pivotal figure in Spanish genre cinema. He directed and wrote The Horrible Sexy Vampire (1970) and Seven Murders for Scotland Yard (1972), films that exemplify the lurid thrills of post-Franco horror and eurospy narratives. With a background in law and a family legacy in film production, Madrid's work often intersects with the notorious Paul Naschy, contributing to the cult status of these genre films. His influence extends beyond directing, as he played a significant role in the Spanish film industry through various production companies.
Seven Murders for Scotland Yard
Several murders have taken place in London. All the victims are prostitutes and the murderer is using the same techniques as Jack the Ripper. Peter Dockerman, an ex-acrobat and husband of one of the victims is the prime suspect. But whoever the killer is has cannibalistic tendencies and if Scotland Yard doesn't solve the murders quickly the evidence just might be eaten!
