Special Movie for Halloween Day! 🎃✨️🧡> “I'm a dirty whore. That's why I'm taking a shower, at least now I'll be a clean whore.”
p.s. nah i don’t say this movie is bad, it’s still good to watch from Mario Bava movies, but Blood and Black Lace always be my top tier & watch this cause of my girl Edwige Fenech 🧡
it was dominating swirl of color, secrets, and seaside luxury, this movie stands as one of Mario Bava’s most visually striking yet narratively restrained works. set on a private island where a group of wealthy guests gather for a weekend of business and pleasure, things take a dark turn when greed, betrayal, and murder begin to surface and the gathering quickly spirals into a deadly game, where everyone hides a motive and no one can be trusted
i love how each frame glows with vivid 1970s style with sleek interiors, sunlit beaches, and that signature giallo color palette that makes even death look mesmerizing. the jazzy score by Piero Umiliani pulses through every scene, adding an ironic lightness to the growing tension
for me, it’s worth to watch guys, don’t worry. this is soo visually hypnotic, musically cool, but emotionally detached 🔥

Jazzy giallo whodunnit from Mario Bava
Better as background vibes than trying to follow the plot

It is kind of a standard Mario Bava giallo, but it still pretty fun. Isn’t particularly gory and doesn’t break the conventions of either the genre or Bava’s formalist style. It does have a really groovy feel to it though, that radiates through how meaningless all the characters are. I think the movie defines itself in the psychedelic sequence near the middle, that is a random shot of just characters on the couch. It’s good.
