Spasmo is a 1974 Italian giallo film directed by Umberto Lenzi and starring Robert Hoffmann and Suzy Kendall.

[1] A young couple on their nightly hormonal romp decide to go to the beach, where they first meet a mysterious man who is parked there.

After asking for a light, the couple make their way to some nearby ruins, where in the midst of their passion, they discover a hanging woman.

Exit couple number two, Christian and a first girlfriend, who also decide the beach is a good place for a little afternoon delight.

He and his girlfriend join a party aboard the boat, where they encounter Barbara and her current lover, Alex.

After some flirtation, Barbara makes an odd request: Christian must shave his beard before the two have sex; he complies.

Strangely at ease with the concept of a dead man in her room, she convinces Christian that the best thing to do is run.

The arguing pair are interrupted by squatters Malcolm and Clorinda; the former taunts Christian with a story about a local murder.

Believing that information about Tatum's death has reached the news, Christian admits that he is the killer, but Malcolm explains that he was just joking.

Christian searches her motel room, where there is neither a body nor any weapon, and then heads to the marina where there is no boat and he is followed by an ominous man.

Attempting to make it look like an accident, Tatum has him drive to the edge of the cliff and exits the car.

As he bleeds out, Christian makes his way back to the beach where he originally found Barbara, and dies.

Fritz wanders home, and makes his way to a closet full of lingerie-clad mannequins, all with puncture marks and other disfigurements.

Director Umberto Lenzi declared that he had taken the project from Lucio Fulci and had to re-work it drastically.

"[2] Lenzi said he had to implement things that would interest an audience, such as the life sized dolls in the film.
