6 mujeres para el asesino

Somewhere at the intersection of stylish and camp, you'll find Mario Bava's 'Blood and Black Lace.' There is a sophisticated color palette and a certain panache in the string of murders we see committed, but it's put alongside uneven acting and overdubbed English which doesn't do it any favors. Maybe that's all a part of the charm. I loved the look of the mysterious killer, with that trench coat, fedora, and blank face, and the little twists towards the end were a nice touch. It got a little ponderous at times though, and the connective tissue between the big events was a little weak. A fun film overall, and doesn't overstay its welcome at 88 minutes.
