Bloody Ballet (I) (2018)
7/10
Excellent Giallo inspired slasher film
5 December 2018
I just finished this new film and I have to say that it was quite impressive. A ballet dancer (Kendra Carelli) lands the lead role in an upcoming stage production and slowly finds her mind unraveling involving her parents involved murders. Her psychologist (Debbie Rochon) and her ballet instructor (Caroline Williams) tries desperately to help her. Soon a killer dressed in red wearing a doll mask and a long black wig begins slicing through her classmates at the ballet academy. This murder mystery is inspired by several giallo Italian themed slashers and isnt too shy on showing the good stuff. The murders are bloody and gory where the killer uses a straight razor to slice everyone open and also uses the razor to remove their eyes. The only thing that was out of place was a mystery man who kept having dreams or premonitions of the young ballet dancer and sets out to find her and his role towards the end left several unanswered questions. For Giallo fans, definitely give this one a shot, I was pleasantly surprised. Excellent performance by Debbie Rochon, such a nice change seeing her play someone good. The musical score and cinematography were exceptionally well done.
