Oh, you’re thinking of Hired to Kill with Brian Thompson. Oliver Reed plays a tyrant dictator.

I watched this one tubi, but I also noticed when I was looking for the trailer the full movie is on YouTube. It’s a languid, yet weird erotic thriller... and because of that it’s worth a look. Just wish it had some tension, because it’s very light in the thrills department. More focused on mood, eroticism and mystery then anything else. But it sure does look nice though.

Blind Date caught my eye too, as I saw it available on tubi too. Sounds kinda similar... if a little more straightforward than In the Cold of the Night.

Ps I got rid of the trailer too, as I didn’t realise it had (topless) nudity in it.

Hired to Kill sounds about right, had to just for the fun of it, look it up through my Letterboxd history, and seems I have rated it with a 4/10, some years ago.
But then again, very few of Mastorakis releases have been all that impressive, still The Zero Boys and Nightmare at Noon have went on to lie somewhere around 5/10 and 5,5/10, so I am kind of interested in at least giving Blind Date another chance.
Speaking of that one, I did notice that the reliable and neat 88 Films, have put it out, among their "Slasher Collection" series, on Blu-ray.
However, I doubt I will re-purchase it, as I already own an older DVD of the Nico Mastorakis Collection, which did feature some bonus material, as well as a few music videos, where John Kongos and his title track were featured:

The Wind starring Meg Foster & Wings Hauser would easily be my favourite of what I’ve seen thus far of Mastorakis’ releases.

I’m also sitting on a copy of his infamous Island of Death, which I haven’t got around to yet.
