A Bay of Blood
Directed by Mario Bava
When a rich Countess dies, strange murders befall people trying to claim her property in Mario Bava's gruesome giallo, which many credit with giving birth to the slasher genre. Combining his famously rich cinematography style with increasingly bizarre murders, Bava's film became a favorite of directors like Joe Dante and horror historian Stephen Thrower. It also found many detractors, including horror icon Christopher Lee, who found the extreme violence revolting. Controversial, disturbing and incredibly influential, A BAY OF BLOOD is a total must-see. Contains sexual scenes, violence and gore.

I was originally going to give this movie 2 skulls, but then the ending happened. Bava, you absolute mad lad.
great all the way up the the last shots of the movie. minus one skull for the ending.
Not sure it lived up to the hype but def a good movie. They did an incredible job with the budget they had. Impressive and a staple.
pretty good to watch again I don't know when
Really enjoyable slasher with a good cinematography and great kills. Ending was a bit strange but I like it.
