Werner K @wernerrrrr12 5 days ago Fantastic movie. Very dark, very brutal. So good! See more Homu L @AkemiLord 5 days ago Italian movies are so much better than American horror. And this movie is a great one! See more Bigbossbalrog T @Jigokju 5 days ago One of Bava's best films. Just a very cool film.

Has a bunch of different elements that all come toother amazingly. See more Hector I @Hector1184BC Aug 30, 2026 A bizarre and deeply disturbing Bava film in which a completely deranged man murders young women in order to recreate the traumatic night that has haunted him since childhood. His crimes become elaborate wedding rituals, with dresses, music and dancing before the murders. The film works as a double investigation: the police investigate the killings while the protagonist tries to reconstruct his own past. The atmosphere is the real strength: extraordinarily late-60s/70s, with a strange La Dolce Vita quality, bizarre interiors and a particularly memorable greenhouse that resembles the mind of a madman. His wife is terrifying, and after her murder she becomes a genuinely spectral presence, with the film playing deliberately with whether she is supernatural or a projection of his mind. The final revelation about his parents is effective, although the film can be naive and somewhat clumsy. Not Bava at his best, but very singular. See more Read all reviews
