Mario
Bava's Kill, Baby... Kill is an eerie gothic ghost-story.
A small Transylvanian village is haunted by the specter of
a homicidal adolescent girl, believed to be "Melissa"
the murdered daughter and vengeful ghost of Baroness Graps',
who wants to collect all of the souls of the hapless villagers.
A creepy vision in white whose little-girl giggles become
chilling as she randomly chooses her victims and sends them
to their gory deaths. 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 victims are being found with coins planted in
their hearts. Bava sets a moody stage of empty streets blanketed
nightly in a swirling mist and flooded with lights of red,
blue, and green. He has created a film full of fear, terror,
murder. You won't find a lot of gore in Kill, Baby...
Kill, but you do get a great eerie atmosphere and supriseingly
enough, sex-icon Erica Blanc keeps her clothes on.
