A Bay of Blood
Directed by Mario Bava
When a rich Countess dies, strange murders befall people trying to claim her property in Mario Bava's gruesome giallo, which many credit with giving birth to the slasher genre. Combining his famously rich cinematography style with increasingly bizarre murders, Bava's film became a favorite of directors like Joe Dante and horror historian Stephen Thrower. It also found many detractors, including horror icon Christopher Lee, who found the extreme violence revolting. Controversial, disturbing and incredibly influential, A BAY OF BLOOD is a total must-see. Contains sexual scenes, violence and gore.

Moody images and some nasty gore can’t cover the fact that this is an absolute snoozefest
Cool effects, otherwise , meh.
I'm very new to these Bava movies some are not really my thing but this one was pretty damn good. Funny ending the story moves at a very nice pace works out great for the movie.

Convoluted, but fun if you’re a slasher fan
