Blood and Black Lace 4K 1964

Blood and Black Lace (1964) in 4K is a benchmark film in the giallo genre from director Mario Bava, who defined the canons of this genre. The film is known in English-speaking countries as Blood and Black Lace, while its original Italian title is Sei donne per l'assassino (Six Women for the Murderer).

Key features:

Plot: A model is brutally murdered in a Roman fashion house. It soon becomes clear that the victim had a diary containing compromising information about many people in her circle. A mysterious killer wearing a mask, cloak, and black gloves begins hunting for the diary, ruthlessly eliminating anyone who stands in his way.

Visual style: The film is famous for its innovative visuals. Bava, who was also the cinematographer, used bright, saturated colors (especially red), bold angles, and complex lighting to create a tense and stylish atmosphere.

Significance: The film is considered one of the first and most influential films in the giallo genre, establishing its main clichés: a killer in gloves, an emphasis on stylized violence, beautiful women as victims, and a detective intrigue that is only revealed in the finale. The film had a significant influence on subsequent thrillers and slashers.

The film's 4K restoration was done from the original negative, which provides exceptional image clarity and allows you to fully appreciate the film's outstanding cinematography and color palette.
