    Another very slow paced Italian horror with minimal plot and annoying music. The atmosphere isn't too bad but everything else is and that's probably due to its low budget.
    It isn't really a sequel to "Beyond the Door" either. It just shares a couple of the cast members. The Marco...( read more) kid is very annoying.

    AKA Shock. Later (70s) Bava has a tendency to be utter crap in my book but overall this wasn't too bad. This is one of the creepiest movies I've ever seen--I wanted to straight up murder the little kid through the whole thing, but I didn't know whether to laugh or puke at the sce...( read more)ne where he started dry-humping his mom. It's Bava's last movie and by no means a great place to start, but if you liked everything else of his you've seen go for it.

    Doesn't really pick up until towards the end, but some fantastic in camera special effects.

    Such a great little moody haunted house story! Bava crafts a well paced tale involving a family moving into a house where the son is quickly possessed by a ghostly spirit and begins tormenting his mother while his step-father is out of town. The mother's cracking sanity and clu...( read more)es to the ghost's identity are revealed and the final climax isn't anything earth-shattering, but it is well-executed and has some genuinely creepy moments and lo-fi effects.

    Well worth a rental.

    Although rumored to be more of a direction by son Lamberto, Shock deals with more mature subject matter than Bava previously dealt with. Great camera tricks give way to a great jump out of your seat scene.

    i like 1 and 3 better.

    Really average film. You can tell that Lamberto had way more to do with this than Mario did. Aside from the hallucinary sequences this didn't have Bavas touch at all. Dario Argenos Inferno (which Bava worked on) felt far more like a Bava film than this one did.
