Blood And Black Lace Limited Edition Blu-Ray

SIX MODELS. SIX VICTIMS OF A MAD MASKED KILLER.

The Christian fashion house Haute Couture is a home for models... and betrayal... and blackmail... and drug dealing... and MURDER.

After creating a template for giallo with The Girl Who Knew Too Much, Mario Bava cemented its rules with Blood and Black Lace. In doing so, he created one of the most influential films ever made —an Italian classic that would become the spearhead of the giallo genre, a prototype for the slasher film, and have an enormous effect on filmmakers as diverse as Dario Argento and Martin Scorsese.

This new edition has been restored from the original camera negative and is presented here in its original uncut form, allowing fans to see Blood and Black Lace in a new light and giving newcomers the perfect introduction to an important piece of cult filmmaking.
