A Bay of Blood - 1971

Also known as Chain Reaction, Carnage, Twitch of the Death Nerve and Blood Bath.

Mario Bava directs this surprisingly un-giallo and definitely another proto-slasher, Bay of Blood. This methodical horror movie is centered around a local bay, and a seeming unrelated series of killings that take place there.

Pretty small plot, pretty fun movie. The main kills in this are machete kills with lots of blood, and it’s as fun as it sounds. Lots. Decent effects and a cool face chopping scene, plenty of kills and some nudity, I mean what do ya need here?

I don’t have a ton to say. It didn’t stick out in any way as a Video Nasty. I’m kinda tired. 4 stars.
