It's funny when I read quotes here and can't guess the film I can get a pretty damn good idea of when the picture may have been made just based on the writing.

This quote reads like it is from the 1970s and was uttered by somebody like Klaus Kinski whose voice I certainly hear when I read it. So, I don't know the film but my guess would be it is from some trashy Euro horror picture made in the 1970s.

Hi Gary - Respectfully, a couple of things.

1) The above doesn't really represent a clue. When I request a clue it indicates we [collectively] haven't figured it out yet. Kudos to you champ but we need a little more insight into the film that your quote is from.

2) Spaces [special characters] should not be included in the character count. This keeps it simple for all involved.
