Blood and Black Lace
Directed by Mario Bava
When young model, Isabella, is murdered by a masked killer, the employees of a chic Italian fashion house find themselves the next targets of the mysterious assailant. A missing diary, a torrid affair, deception and backstabbing are all potential motives for the fashion house slayings. This seminal thriller by legendary Italian filmmaker, Mario Bava, became the blueprint for giallo cinema with its visually arresting colour scheme, set piece murders and convoluted plot. A great influence on fellow Italian director, Dario Argento, BLOOD AND BLACK LACE went on to shape Italian horror, as well as the slasher film of the 1980s. Contains violence and gore.

So beautiful, the colors, that I think I saw a color I've never seen until now. For real.
Loved the style and music
Like others seem to be saying, this is a great murder mystery that keeps you guessing up until the end.
My fave movie of All time. its stylish, atmospheric and Bava's best imo. The movie is awash in Bava's use of colors and every frame looks like a painting. The score is intriguing and it has alot of unique kills. It is absolutely without a doubt the Definitive Giallo!
Great movie. Enjoyed every bit of it
