Kill Baby Kill
Directed by Mario Bava
An 18th century European village is haunted by the ghost of a murderous little girl in Mario Bava's greatest and most visually stunning horror film. Bava pulled out all the stops here, mixing gothic horror and a dreamlike story about an evil Baroness in the thrall of her undead daughter. Scorsese called it Bava's best film, Fellini used it as inspiration for his famous TOBY DAMMITT, and David Lynch referenced it directly in both the series finale of TWIN PEAKS and the big screen follow-up FIRE WALK WITH ME. If you only watch one Bava film, make it this one.

Great Mario Bava flick. Scariest thing in the world is when no one will help you.
Watched it twice in a row. Bravo Bava!
Great movie.
I love is movie really good to watch
So many people here bitch about subtitles…and then there are the rest of us who can’t stand dubbed films. But I’m not going to fault Mario Bava for that nor will I fault the wonderful folks at Shudder, who have the guts not to cave to “it’s not horror without jumpscares and decapitations” crowd and consistently offer up an incredibly eclectic collection of all subgenres of horror/thrillers—including plenty featuring jumpscares and decapitations, in addition to grown-up horror.
