X + YY - Formula of Evil is a German crime and exploitation film from 1969.
action
In order to give the subsequent action a credible and serious look, the film begins with a scientist who observes a fidgety “worm”, a chromosome, under the microscope, in order to then introduce the matter and inform about the instinctual deformation of a person. The playboy Red Mitchell suffers from this chromosome malformation XYY, who is endured by a bar owner his age. At night, driven by inner unrest, he roams the streets of the city. When a girl accidentally bumps into him, the terrible urge to kill is triggered in him. The unfortunate woman is strangled by him in the bathroom of the night club.
From then on, Mitchell is on the prowl: for even more (and preferably: blonde) girls with whom he can act out his pathological urges to kill. It is preferably young, pretty girls with model dimensions who become his victims after he has seen them naked in his imagination with his X-ray vision and then undresses in real life, preferring to murder them on or in the water. Soon, however, he leaves traces, and a cunning inspector who suspects of his chromosome-induced instincts, Mitchell gets on the trail. Finally, the sex offender is caught and is in preventive detention .

useful information
The ominous and little-known film is considered a veritable phantom in Federal Republican filmmaking. It disappeared from the cinemas shortly after its premiere and has never since been shown on television or released on VHS cassette or DVD. For the German director Teja Piegeler (1942–2003), actually an artist working in several different disciplines, this was the only full-length cinema director. He was supported by a completely unknown Yugoslav co-director, the Serbian Pavel Jocic.
Jocic brought the popular Yugoslav film actor Ljubiša Samardžić (1936–2017) from Belgrade to Munich for the lead role of the disturbed girl killer. On the German side, old star Albert Hehn and 35-year-old Kai Fischer were particularly well-known. The two Yugoslav Bundesliga imports Petar Radenković and Tschik Cajkovski as well as the German goalkeeper Wolfgang Fahrian were seen in guest roles .
criticism
The Lexicon of International Films called the strip a "cheap film that puts a threadbare scientific cloak around its bloodlust story".
The Protestant film observer saw in the film "only a list of crimes rich in detail, bumbling and without the slightest value".
