A murderer strangles the models of a top fashion house one after the other. The film’s design accords importance to each colour at the outset, Bava lays the foundations for the giallo, a landmark of Italian cinema. Unsuccessful on release, Blood and Black Lace went on to become one of the most plus popular works of a visionary director open to experimenting with graphics.
