Any FNF viewers that follow me in MISO know that I’ve been on a Mario Bava kick for a few days. I’ve been watching Kill, Baby Kill, Black Sunday, Baron Blood and Bay of Blood and really enjoying them. So, I wanted to put up some Bava for you guys to enjoy. The only two of his pics I know of that are public domain are Hatchet for the Honeymoon and Kill, Baby Kill. I’ve had both of these on the site already, but the first time I put up Hatchet, I tried to do a little FNF intro at the start and it messed up the video so that the sound and picture where out of sync. As this is one of my absolute favorite movies from Chiller back when I was a kid, I had to put up a better, non-messed up copy.

The movie itself is a weird little number. It is sort of like a giallo, but you know who the killer is all of the time and it is very much a character study. Also, at about the half-way point it turns into either a ghost story or an account of a crazy man going even crazier. Either way, the whole thing has that great Bava feel. I’m sure you’ll like it.
