Part of the fun of watching gialli is seeing if the title or cover has any relation to the film. In The Bloodstained Lawn, they pretty much don’t, unless we’re counting that 10 second line in which one of the characters gazes into a field of red flowers and describes it as such, which felt kind of poetic in the moment, and would have been even more poetic if they had extended that line and scene beyond that point. But they don’t, which is too bad, but not surprising. It’s kind of like when Four Flies on Grey Velvet hooks you with a creepy voyeuristic puppet, and then quickly and completely drops the character altogether. It’s all part of the fun. Either way, I felt this had potential but ultimately it was boring (save for the last 10 min, but even that was kinda blah). I just think the robot could have sucked people’s blood a bit earlier on, ok? Maybe like a and then there were none situation.
