Kill, Baby... Kill! (1966)

Acclaimed ghost story is oft-cited as one of the crowning acheivements in Italian director Mario Bava's career. It's atmospheric and well-shot... but then, what Bava film isn't? The problem with this is that, despite Bava's bag of cinematographic tricks, this thing's pretty damn inert. It just sort of lies there when it should be, I dunno, scaring the hell out of me. There's one cool scene where the hero can't leave a room, but beyond that it's thumb-twiddling hokum all around.

Grade: C
