The Christian Haute Couture fashion house is a home to models... and backstabbing... and blackmail... and drug deals... and MURDER.

Having established a template forthe giallo with The Girl Who Knew Too Much, Mario Bava set about cementing its rules with Blood and Black Lace. In doing so, he created one of the most influential films ever made - an Italian classic that would spearhead the giallo genre, provide a prototype for the slasher movie, and have a huge effect on filmmakers as diverse as Dario Argento and Martin Scorsese.

The Cristiana Haute Couture fashion house is a home to models... and backstabbing... and blackmail... and drug deals... and now murder. Having established a template for the giallo with The Girl Who Knew Too Much, Mario Bava set about cementing its rules with Blood and Black Lace. In doing so he created one of the most influential films ever made - an Italian classic that would spearhead the giallo genre, provide a prototype for the slasher movie, and have a huge effect on filmmakers as diverse as Dario Argento and Martin Scorsese. Newly restored from the original camera negative and presented here in its original, uncut Italian form, this dual-format release allows fans to see Blood and Black Lace afresh and offers newcomers the ideal introduction to a major piece of cult filmmaking.

L'esthétisme de la terreur

Written on 14. December 2011 by Ariane.

Il est fascinant de constater à quel point Bava magnifie les couleurs comme il sut tellement le faire avec le noir et blanc, dans le Masque du Démon. Les décors et l'art de Bava de mettre en scène la tension créent réellement une esthétique de la terreur sans pareille.
Un suspense particulièrement bien mené, des lieux clos, une menace palpable et quelques scènes d'une rare violence font de ce film un véritable joyau du genre.
Weltklasse...

Il primo "Thriller all'italiana", intenso capolavoro del brivido che anticipa il filone "alla Dario Argento".
Eccellente DVD, Regione 0 con lingua italiana :-)

Wieso kein O-Ton?

Ich versteh es nicht, wieso man nicht den O-Ton draufpackt, bei so einer neuen Veröffentlichung eines solchen Klassikers...Ohne O-Ton geht bei mir nichts. Schade!
