Kill, Baby, Kill description
From the title, you might expect a modern slasher picture or a serial killer drama, but Mario Bava's Kill, Baby... Kill is actually an eerie gothic ghost-story-with-a-body-count set in a quaint Italian turn-of-the-century village. When a city coroner arrives to examine the latest victim in a long string of "suicides," he discovers a town of deserted streets, suspicious and terrified townspeople, and a conspiracy of silence. The town is haunted by the specter of a homicidal adolescent girl, a creepy vision in white whose little-girl giggles become chilling as she randomly chooses her victims and sends them to their gory deaths. Bava sets a moody stage of empty streets blanketed nightly in a swirling mist and flooded with lights of red, blue, and green--an expressionist night-cum-nightmare as unreal as it beautiful. This fanciful nocturnal world becomes the stage for virtual pageants of death in which the victims become tortured puppets of the malevolent spirit and are forced to murder themselves. The often arch and operatic performances are deadened by flat dubbing and an often prosaic translation, which creates an odd dissonance between the story and style. Though hardly to the tastes of modern slasher movie mavens, Bava's imaginative horror-thriller is full of grotesque and sometimes grueling murders, but trades the gore for an unsettling mood of doom. --Sean Axmaker |

The new edition that everyone's waiting for!
|
After announcing a March release, and selling some pre-orders (which is where most of these price gougers got their copies), Dark Sky delayed the initial release to a yet to be determined date.
Now, all of us Bava fans have to wait for this version to be released at a reasonable price (original listing price: $24.95) and now end up having to pay over a hundred dollars for an edition no one's rated or seen. I don't know anything about this Dark Sky Films and I will be suspicious until I see the transfer for myself.
I'll hang on to my older VCI version and suffer with a bad transfer until hopefully this version is released by this company or another.
But I do know something: I will not give in to these price gougers for an edition I don't know anything about. |
