luential killer thriller from Italian horror master Mario Bava is a stylish genre landmark. A faceless murderer is killing models associated with a fashion house. Who is the killer and what is their deadly vendetta? Blood and Black Lace is one of the solid forerunners of the Italian giallo genre. It has all the classic elements of a classic giallo - a gloved killer, beautiful victims, a mystery plot, scandals etc. All of which is wrapped around Bava's lovely, colorful direction. The plot itself turns on a well written mystery that builds some good suspense and is dashed with an array of intense murder scenes. The jazzy, atmospheric music score is also a nice touch and the performances of the cast aren't bad.

seen one seen them all. i must have seen hundred movies where fashion model is a target to serial killers but in real life that never happens. sorry it just puzzled me are fashion models that shallow even the serial killers wont have anything to do with them ?? lol
