A Blade in the Dark
Directed by Lamberto Bava
In Lamberto Bava’s second contribution to the giallo genre, a psychopath stalks a composer who’s writing the score for a horror film. After the film’s director sets Bruno up in a stylish house, he begins working on the Goblin-esque score, not realizing that a real maniac is slicing up women all over the property. Bruno soon learns the film holds the key to catching the killer, and that he and his girlfriend are in grave danger. Bava follows the footsteps of his famous father, serving up a stylish slasher filled with memorable murders and a Hitchcockian finale.

great movie.loved it
A liitle slow but some nice misdirection and an interesting story.
What.
Some really good suspense sequences and gnarly kills. That bathroom kill is definitely an all-timer. Some hot Italian women, one of them is a Margot Robbie doppelgänger. The killer reveal was very underwhelming and made little sense.
Insanely slow. Terrible Dubbing. And to top it all off more than a little transphobic. The only good thing about it was how funny some of the kill scenes were due to the low budget.
