Blood and Black Lace

Six models. Six victims for a crazed masked killer. The Christian Haute Couture fashion house is a home to models... and backstabbing... and blackmail... and drug deals... and murder. Having established a template for the giallo with The Girl Who Knew Too Much, Mario Bava set about cementing its rules with Blood and Black Lace. In doing so, he created one of the most influential films ever made - an Italian classic that would spearhead the giallo genre, provide a prototype for the slasher movie, and have a huge effect on filmmakers as diverse as Dario Argento and Martin Scorsese. Newly restored from the original camera negative and presented here in its original uncut form, Blood and Black Lace offers newcomers the ideal introduction to a major piece of cult filmmaking.
