A Bay of Blood
A Bay of Blood (a.k.a. Carnage, Twitch of the Death Nerve, and Blood Bath) is a 1971 thriller/horror film directed by Mario Bava. There's an inheritance of land, fraud, and murder. This one is violent in a 1970s way -a machete-in-the-face way- so if you're squeamish take a pass. Also, there's some nudity.

Yup, I can be squeamish. Think I will skip this one!
ReplyDeleteThe special effects leave you in no doubt about how fake it is, so there's that lol
DeleteSlasher type movies are me least favorite. I'll pass. ;)
ReplyDeleteMe, too. I try to be open-minded and willing to try new things, but I prefer the ghost stories and eerie/moody films.
DeleteI'll take your advice and skip this one. Thanks for warning us.
ReplyDeleteMario Bava is worth trying out, but maybe not starting with this one ;)
DeleteOh no, not for me! Valerie
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't recommend it for folks who don't already know they like this kind of thing.
