Blood and Black Lace

Synopsis

In a Roman haute-couture fashion salon, an elegant model is brutally murdered by a masked, trench-coated stalker with a featureless white stocking mask, setting off a frantic scramble for the dead girl's private diary containing blackmail secrets of cocaine addiction and abortion, as the models are eliminated one by one in lavishly staged color death set-pieces. Mario Bava's visual and stylistic blueprint that invented the modern giallo thriller.
