Mario Bava’s masterful A Bay of Blood is about to get the Arrow Video treatment finally doing justice to a great director not accorded enough respect in the UK. 6th December will change all this with the title available on both Blu-ray and DVD.

DICUSS BAY OF BLOOD ON THE CULT LABS FORUM

“See the film that set the Slasher movie blueprint! Can you handle the terror of Mario Bava’s Giallo classic Bay of Blood?

When a rich countess is murdered, it’s a race to see who’ll inherit her estate and you can bet that the body count is going to rise rapidly in the process as the plot twists spin wildly out of control. The pile of bloodied corpses is going to get higher and higher as one by one the mangled victims are hung, speared, stabbed and macheted.

Thirteen horrific murders turn the screen crimson with blood. Thirteen corpses float in the Bay of Blood…”

Check out this psychedelic trailer for the movie under the title Carnage (Bay of Blood is one of the most retitled films in movie history!)
