Influential killer thriller from Italian horror master Mario Bava is a stylish genre landmark.
A faceless murderer is killing models associated with a fashion house. Who is the killer and what is their deadly vendetta?
Blood and Black Lace is one of the solid forerunners of the Italian giallo genre. It has all the classic elements of a classic giallo - a gloved killer, beautiful victims, a mystery plot, scandals etc. All of which is wrapped around Bava's lovely, colorful direction. The plot itself turns on a well written mystery that builds some good suspense and is dashed with an array of intense murder scenes. The jazzy, atmospheric music score is also a nice touch and the performances of the cast aren't bad.
Over all, an entertaining early giallo and one of Bava's best contributions to Italian horror. A must see for giallo fans.
