Review of Blood and Black Lace (1964) by Jenna P — 04 Jan 2016
A haute couture fashion house suffers one murder after another in gorgeous color (and style!). This is incredibly gory for the time, and I love it. This is also, in my opinion, one of the very first slashers (PEEPING TOM & PSYCHO predate it) and the first real giallo. If you've read Raymond Chandler, then you've got a head start on whodunnit, but getting there is most of the fun!*.
*I will admit that the dubbing is the worst, so you'll probably only enjoy this if you're a devotee of Bava or the slasher genre. Someone please revive this at an LA cinema house or at least do a decent transfer?
