Blood and Black Lace
Directed by Mario Bava
When young model, Isabella, is murdered by a masked killer, the employees of a chic Italian fashion house find themselves the next targets of the mysterious assailant. A missing diary, a torrid affair, deception and backstabbing are all potential motives for the fashion house slayings. This seminal thriller by legendary Italian filmmaker, Mario Bava, became the blueprint for giallo cinema with its visually arresting colour scheme, set piece murders and convoluted plot. A great influence on fellow Italian director, Dario Argento, BLOOD AND BLACK LACE went on to shape Italian horror, as well as the slasher film of the 1980s. Contains violence and gore.

Pretty to look at ,
nothing happened
Decent older Giallo from Bava. A must see for any fans of the pillars of Italian horror. A whodunnit murder mystery. 3.5/5
Truly obsessed with this movie. Yes, some of the acting and writing is straight out of a soap opera, but it is a thoroughly engaging watch.
This is a Giallo I can get behind!
