a bay of blood (1971)


aka Chain Reaction. Carnage. Ecology Of A Crime. Twitch Of The Death Nerve. Reazione a catena.
"If you kill for killings sake you become a monster."
An elderly heiress is murdered by her husband trying to get his hands on her estate. In doing so he unleashes a wave of violence, as various relatives and friends get in on the act and start offing each other.
Directed with Bava's usual flare, this is a gorefest, and concidered to be the first slasher, but in truth, (like many of the films it influenced), this is not a great piece of entertainment. Definitely not one of Bava's best, but then a lesser Bava is still better than most.
