Blood 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!
One 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 st...( read more)
I came to "Blood & Black Lace" fully expecting it to be Bava's best giallo but I found it surprisingly disappointing. It's certainly stylish and has some great grisly set-pieces, but it's pretty po-faced and much less fun than "The Girl Who Knew Too Much". Whereas the earlier fil...( read more)
More 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 t...( read more)

A classic giallo thriler 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.
With this exercise in style and mayhem, Mario Bava managed to set the standards for a whole new sub-genre in horror, the "giallo". It is basically a very simple detective story with added violence and gore and, even if I admire this movie greatly, it is far from perfect.

Certainly no "Planet Of The Vampires" (A brilliantly artistic sci-fi, & one of my favorite Bava films) But sexy 60's Italian cinema always wins me over, and in my opinion, is always worth a viewing! (ESPECIALLY sexy 60's Italian Horror!)
Influential early Italian "giallo" horror film. Bava was a master of color and camera movement.
