Plot:
Though the original Italian title translates to "Six Women for an Assassin," the American title, Blood and Black Lace, is far more evocative of the psychosexual nature of this elegant slasher p...( read more

MCT:July 25, 2008Blood and Black Lace is certainly a classic, easily being one of the best giallos out there. Expertly filmed, the kills are intense and the sets a stylish array of vibrant colour. Definitely a must-see for budding giallo fans, and highly recommended to slasher fans too!

MCT:June 29, 2008One of the most incredibly shot films of all time.
Bava uses color to accent the beauty of the victims and the plainness of the murderer.
However this is not one of Bava's most enjoyable fims to watch from a story sense, but then again story has never been the Italian films strongest point. -

Lovely looking giallo, with a decent story. It's Bava and it's giallo, so there are bad things happening to beautiful women in gorgeous ways. Worth a watch.

Blood And Black Lace is one of my favorite giallo movies. It's also my favorite Mario Bava movie. It's very entertaining and has some terrific death scenes that are pretty scary. The use of colors is extraordinary.

MCT:January 31, 2008Mario Bava's now classic giallo film set the template for many subsequent Italian thrillers. Some of the murders are still shocking when viewed today.

A classic giallo thrileer from the father of the cinematic genre. Despite the hairstyles and fashions on display, the outlook is surprisingly modern, the twists are interesting and the camerawork beautiful, moving in unexpected ways.

Brilliant film and highly influential. The lighting is great throughout. Although The Girl Who Knew Too Much is the first attempt to adapt the giallo genre to the bif screen this is the one that really solidified the genres conventions that would be imitated countless times, you have the gloved killer (though that originated from Black Sabbath), elaborate death sequences, stylish camera work and of course the attractive women. Thought not exactly being a slasher itself (I'd say Twitch of the Death Nerve is really the first slasher) This is where the roots of American slasher films come from although many of which weren't as carefully constructed as this film. Also an extremely daring film for the time.
The second death sequence was probably my favorite, brilliant lighting and suspense.
I boosted the rating to a 5. It's unfair to give it less just because of the transfer. -
MCT:August 19, 2007More overrated Bava artiness with no plot worth mentioning and very bad actors.
Some of the killings are quite good though but this is really all just about lensing some nice looking scenes with pretty women in them. -

A really great slasher flick that doesn't get too ridiculous. You can't expect too much storywise, but still not bad. It's all glamour and classic beauty (especially Eva Bartok) but the real star is the movie itself, courtesy of Bava, who does a fantastic job lighting the whole thing up and creating frighteningly beautiful imagery. The red mannequin was haunting.

Blood and Black Lace is a freakin masterpeice! Mario Bava fills this film with vivid colors and beautiful sets. He was a perfectionist, and it shows. He not only handled the direction of the film, he also did the lighting and set designs. He is truly an underrated Director, and thats a big understatment. He influenced everyone from Dario Argento to Francis Ford Coppola. And his name should be mention along with names like Hitchcock, Welles, Coppola, Lynch and any other respected known film director.
Blood and Black Lace is not the first Giallo film. But it is the film which kicked off the Giallo Boom in the 60's and 70's. Yet no other Giallo film it influenced matches the same quality Blood and Black Lace offers. Highly recommended to those who appreciate film as an art form. Its a breath taking film. As gorgeous as it is sleazy and sadistic.
