Blood and Black Lace (1964) RM4K 1080p Arrow BluRay x265 10bit FL...

The Christian Haute Couture fashion house is a home to models… and backstabbing… and blackmail… and drug deals… and MURDER. Having established a template for the giallo with The Girl Who Knew Too Much, Mario Bava set about cementing 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 spearhead the giallo genre, provide a prototype for the slasher movie, and have a huge effect on filmmakers as diverse as Dario Argento and Martin Scorsese.

Most of you don't have to download every upload. It's hard to say what's the best version to watch for everyone but the standard version will always be uploaded first and it will include a commentary track by Tim Lucas. The standard versions have better video and audio quality. All the other versions are there for archivists and Bava enthusiasts or if you really want to watch a specific language dub.
