A man who runs an apartment house for women is the demented son of a Nazi surgeon who has the house equipped with secret passageways, hidden rooms and torture and murder devices.
Crawlspace is a 1986 American horror film written and directed by David Schmoeller, and starring Klaus Kinski, Talia Balsam, Barbara Whinnery, and Tané McClure. Its plot follows Karl Guenther, the crazed son of a Nazi doctor obsessed with trapping young women and slowly torturing them to death in an urban apartment building. The film became infamous due to the on-set conflicts between Schmoeller and Kinski, with claims that producer Roberto Bessi attempted to have Kinski murdered due to his continued hostility towards the crew.
