Kill, Baby...Kill! by Mario Bava. The only impressive murder scene after a few minutes, and a very transparent, simple, and obvious story without any twists: Bava has definitely made better movies than this flick from 1966. But....and this is a big, capitalised BUT - it's a Bava flick after all, and that's enough to make the movie a pleasent experience. The flick's spooky and moody (with great cinematography!), both young leading actresses (Erika Blanc and Fabienne Dali) look gorgeous, and the score by Carlo Rustichelli is great, too. That's why I rate it twice:
--> Considering Mario Bava's filmography, where you find masterpieces like
Black Sunday,
Hatchet For The Honeymoon (yes, it IS a masterpiece!), and
A Bay of Blood:
3,5 out of 5 points
--> The movie itself, considering all the crap that's been made from 1966 till now:
4 out 5 points
Trivia: you'll find the scene with the bouncing ball of the girl -slightly altered- in Lamberto Bava's
A Blade In The Dark.
