KILL BABY
KILL!
One of the more compelling works
of Italy's premier horror stylist Mario Bava, this satisfying occult murder
mystery skillfully interweaves elements of the traditional giallo thriller
formula with an unusual Gothic ghost story. The tale is set in a modern-day
Carpathian village rocked by a series of bizarre murders, in which the
female victims are found with gold coins imbedded in their hearts. The
coins are revealed to be talismans placed on the victims by the local sorceress
(Fabienne Dali), meant to ward off the supernatural powers of the aged
Baroness Graps (Giana Vivaldi). The baroness has been acting as an earthly
liaison for the vengeful ghost of her murdered daughter, who wants to claim
the villagers' souls — with lovely Erica Blanc next on the list. In order
to free the village from the evil curse, Dali must find the sequestered
baroness and destroy her. Bava, who possesses a keen eye for darkly surreal
imagery, creates a world of deep shadows, rich colors, and candlelit corridors;
the end result is a beautiful, irresistible nightmare. |
