Very scary giallo
Okay. A lot of the negative things that people have said about this movie are right on the money. The dubbing is HORRIBLE. To the point of nonsense. The “cockroach” scene is a bit odd. The plot and plot twists are at times predictable and cliche.

Now the good parts about this giallo. Its f****** scary!!! Some of the slow stalk sequences and cat and mouse chases are absolutely nerve shattering. Lamberto Bava layed on the atmosphere double thick here. The violence is terrifying and brutally graphic. The score is without doubt the best I’ve heard in a giallo. And I’ve seen the Argento films and many others.

Final analysis: Technically speaking its flawed, very flawed, but as a slasher/giallo/horror movie its atmospheric and scary. And my personaly favorite giallo.

*** (out of ****)

Bava Jr. proves that he has inherited some of his old man’s talent.
Originally shot for TV, but released theatrically after it was deemed too violent for the small screen, Lamberto Bava’s demented giallo, A Blade In The Dark, features some remarkable Argento-style direction and plenty of well conceived and very suspenseful moments. It does tend to plod quite a bit between the good bits, but, on the whole, this is an enjoyable addition to the genre.

Andrea Occhipinti plays Bruno, a film composer who is staying at a huge luxury villa whilst working on a score for a horror film. His work is interrupted, however, by a series of visitors, most of whom wind up dead after bumping into a deranged killer who lurks somewhere within the labyrinthine property.

As with most giallos, the story has the occasional lapse in logic and the odd ‘bizarre’ moment (that ‘cockroach’ was definitely a spider!), and the identity of the murderer isn’t as difficult to guess as the director had probably hoped (at least if you are familiar with the conventions of the genre). But with plenty of creepy atmosphere, a nice selection of easy-on-the-eye Italian crumpet as victims, and a suitably bonkers maniac with a typically unbelievable reason for embarking on a killing spree, this effort is worth tracking down.

Bava carefully builds the tension before each murder, and his precise framing of shots allows for plenty of effective scares (I jumped quite a few times during this one!). Most of the deaths are relatively tame (at least when compared to some of Argento’s bloody set-pieces), but there is one standout scene (in which a woman has her hand pinned to a piece of furniture with a knife, before her head is bashed in, and her throat is cut) that might make the more timid of viewers look away from the screen.
