THE CENTERFOLD GIRLS is a psycho-thriller of the 1970s that plays out more as a skinflick than anything else. Andrew Prine's weirdo killer stalks and slashes a bunch of women who posed as nude models, and he's on a moralistic crusade to clean up a tide of filth. A bit like Mary Whitehouse, then. Much of the running time contains young and pretty women stripping to their smalls (and less) while the rudiments of a plot serve to join the dots. The sub-plot in which a girl flees from a rapist hippy gang only to encounter Aldo Ray's sleazy motel owner before being straight-razored to death is quite arresting, but then there's a lot of padding in the middle section. Some brief P.O.V. stalking shots might have inspired HALLOWEEN. Things pick up again for the last section featuring the admirably feisty Tiffany Bolling.
