One of the models keeps a diary of the forbidden love affairs and recreational drug smuggling that takes place at a swanky fashion salon where she works, and the murderer is willing to do whatever it takes to silence whomever reads it. A stylish film from the Italian king of shock cinema, Mario Bava. [More]

Reviews for Blood and Black Lace
Few films are anywhere near as lovely as the bloody and brutal 'Blood and Black Lace.'
The dummies here reflect a society's ruthless commoditization of the body and flesh.
a complex murder mystery raised to a higher level through artistry and innovation
The plot becomes secondary to spectacle of the dreamy dance of death, choreographed with sadistic precision, delivered in lurid color, spied upon with a restlessly gliding camera.
Part painting, part tango, the picture is meticulous depravity and rapture, from its Mod-fab tableaux vivant opening credits through to its escalating abomination.
