I think ‘Kill Baby Kill” is worth a watch. This is an Italian made, Mario Bava film that is super creepy! I really like the feel of the movie and the subject. According to the back of the movie box, Bava, “skillfully interweaves elements of the ‘giallo’ thriller formula with a creepy Gothic ghost story.” Wikipedia says that “Giallo” movies have certain characteristic: “Extended murder sequences featuring excessive bloodletting, stylish camerawork and unusual musical arrangements. The literary whodunit element is retained, but combined with modern slasher horror, while being filtered through Italy’s longstanding tradition of opera and stage drama.”
“Kill Baby Kill” is a literal titled. Needless to say, if you were uber-creeped out by the little girls in the hallway in the movie “The Shining,” then don’t watch this movie. The music is superb in places, and the scenery is perfect. I think someone went crazy with the spray-on cob webs, though. I’ll be bringing this DVD back to class tonight.
