血之海滩 Reazione a catena / 死亡颤抖 / Bay of Blood / Ecology of a Crime / Twitch of the Death Nerve 正片

螳螂捕蝉的故事百拍不厌，只是开头旅行被屠杀的颓废青年有些令人摸不着头脑。说到底都是钱作怪，对于有脸盲症的我，对几位男士实在有些难以分辨。斧头劈脸惊悚，长矛刺穿欢合男女血腥，难以忘记湖底浮尸一手摸向少女大腿的场景，除此之外，最后的魔童兄妹黑色幽默过头，反高潮了。One of the most influential horror films of all time, Mario Bava's A BAY OF BLOOD (aka TWITCH OF THE DEATH NERVE) is the spurting artery from which all future slasher films would flow. When crippled Countess Federica is murdered at her isolated mansion, a gruesome battle ensues to secure the rights to her valuable property around the bay. Everyone, from illegitimate children to shady real estate agents, stakes a claim, only to be killed in increasingly bizarre ways, from simple shootings to impalement by fishing spear. The makeup effects are by Carlo Rambaldi (who would later earn Oscars for his work on ALIEN). Initially scorned upon its original release because of its graphic violence, A BAY OF BLOOD eventually became a trendsetter, the model slasher film that FRIDAY THE 13TH would emulate nearly a decade later.
