Hatchet for the Honeymoon(1970)

A chap called john harrington(Stephen Forsyth) runs a model agency specialising in bridal outfits. and is completely insane due to a childhood trauma due to his mother. and now has become a serial killer who chops up young brides with a meat clever just before their weddings.

this is another giallo type film from the legendary mario bava, even if it is a giallo in the very loosest of terms, especially as there is no hidden killer in this one.

It features the director's usual great use of colour, with top notch sets and lighting, and is pretty entertaining indeed despite the restraint in the violence. and even manages to throw a bit of a supernatural element as well.

Definately well worth a watch and essential for any fan of Bava. And with the added bonus too of the beautiful Dagmar Lassander playing a sexy young model. 78 out of 100.
