- A Bay of Blood - Black Sunday - Hatchet for the Honeymoon I would also add one episode from Black Sabbath: The Wurdalak. Bava's the boss when it comes to stylish and moody horror with great camera work! Greetings! |

I am in the middle of a long season of Bava reviews. Although he is credited with creating the Giallo with ‘Blood and Black Lace’, he never made another straight genre entry. Instead, the closest he came was with this trilogy of films from the early 1970s. Five Dolls for an August Moon (1970) is certainly the most conventional of the three but still has a very strange atmosphere, sees most of the killings take place off screen and seems to reveal the killer part way through… or not. A Bay of Blood (1971) has a very mixed up plot for a Giallo (although it does at least all resolve) but is most interesting for its twenty minute slasher movie sequence – made almost a decade before the slasher movie boom. Hatchet for the Honeymoon (1970) is certainly the best of the trilogy and one of Bava’s very best. A psycho killer take on the genre, the main character is hunting the killer of his mother, a killer whose identity is blurred in his mind and revealed piece by piece when he kills… Catch up with all the reviews on my Mario Bava page.

I picked up the Bava book last year, (in a moment of madness but glad I did it), but still havn't cracked it open. I need to revist all the films first before tucking in... I took a pic of the book a few months back, tastefully positioned alongside the DVD of Whip & The Body just to give it a sense of scale. It's a monster. Not sure how I'm gonna read it ! (pictures posted below)

great to see a lot of HFTH fans....the more i see, the more i say to myself..."why didnt i just pull my finger out at the time??"... loved TOTDN...whatever title its under, this is just about perfect, the ending alone catapulted this into the higher echelon, and to think i got it from the library... HFTH....still dazed by the sheer brilliance of this, this will be mine before the years out had black sunday/planet for years, my only bava as i missed L&TD when bbc1 showed it and always wanted more MB because they were different but similar.... had a chance to watch Hercules as well recently, wish i had now.... and Shock.......is an oddity. didnt Jr do a lot of it??? |
