At the Cristiana Haute Couture fashion house, models and their boyfriends excel at the art of backstabbing, blackmail, and snorting cocaine. That is, until a faceless maniac embarks on a mission of death! Blood and Black Lace perfected the ultra-violent sub-genre that would come to be known as “giallo.” With a mood that mashes together couture elegance with the luridness of a trashy paperback, it’s no wonder why Martin Scorsese once referred to this as “an incredible moment for cinema.” “Few gialli are as visually accomplished as this, which marks a high bar for the genre that wasn’t matched, much less exceeded, until the release of Dario Argento’s Deep Red.” — Russ Fischer, IndieWire 4K Restoration courtesy the American Genre Film Archive and Arrow Video
