Mong. <SEP> There are two parts of the film: the first part and the second part. Both parts have the same staff and the same actors. <SEP> Blood and Black Lace is a 1964 giallo film directed by Mario Bava. Bava co-wrote the screenplay with Giuseppe Barilla and Marcello Fondato. The film stars Cameron Mitchell and Eva Bartok. The story concerns the stalking and brutal murders of various scantily- clad fashion models, committed by a masked killer in a desperate attempt to obtain a scandal- revealing diary. The film is generally considered one of the earliest and most influential of all" gialli" films and served as a stylistic template for the" body count" slasher films of the 1980s. Tim Lucas said that the film inspired" legions of contemporary filmmakers, from Dario Argento to Martin Scorsese to Quentin Tarantino." In 2004, one of its sequences was voted No. 85 in" The 100 Scariest Movie Moments" by the Bravo TV network. <SEP> His low- budget genre films, known for their distinctive visual flair and technical ingenuity, feature recurring themes and imagery concerning the conflict between illusion and reality, and the destructive capacity of human nature. Born to sculptor, cinematographer and special effects pioneer Eugenio Bava, the younger Bava followed his father into the film industry, and eventually earned a reputation as one of Italy's foremost cameramen, lighting and providing the special effects for such films as" Hercules"( 1958) and its sequel" Hercules Unchained"( 1959)( each were lampooned on" Mystery Science Theater 3000"). During the late 1950s, his eventual career trajectory as a director began when he was relied upon to complete projects begun by or credited to his colleague Riccardo Freda and other filmmakers, including" I Vampiri"( 1957)( the first Italian horror film of the sound era)," The Day the Sky Exploded"( 1958)( the first Italian science fiction film)," Caltiki – The Immortal Monster"( 1959) and" The Giant of Marathon"( 1959). Although most of Bava's films as director failed to achieve major commercial success upon release, many of them would eventually find acclaim as cult classics, with their content and production values being favourably compared to the works of Alfred Hitchcock. Several of them have been noted for their revolutionary impact on their respective genres:" Black Sunday"( 1960), his official directorial debut, was the forerunner of the Italian gothic horror film cycle;" The Girl Who Knew Too Much"( 1963) is considered to be the first giallo film;" Kill, Baby, Kill"( 1966) heavily influenced the iconography of modern J-Horror;" Roy Colt& Winchester Jack"( 1970) is regarded as one of the earliest self- parodying Spaghetti Westerns;" Four Times That Night"( 1971) was an early Italian sex comedy; and" A Bay of Blood"( 1971) was a precursor to slasher films. Mario Bava( 31 July 1914 – 27 April 1980) was an Italian cinematographer, director, special effects artist and screenwriter, frequently referred to as the" Master of Italian Horror" and the" Master of the Macabre". His other notable films include" Hercules in the Haunted World"( 1961)," Erik the Conqueror"( 1961)," Black Sabbath"( 1963)," The Whip and the Body"( 1963)," Blood and Black Lace"( 1964)," Planet of the Vampires"( 1965)," Knives of the Avenger"( 1966),( 1968)," Hatchet for the Honeymoon"( 1970)," Five Dolls for an August Moon"( 1970)," Baron Blood"( 1972)," Lisa and the Devil"( 1974)," Rabid Dogs"( 1974) and" Shock"( 1977). Despite his reputation as a talented artist during his lifetime, Bava's shy, self- deprecating demeanour prevented him from taking advantage of opportunities that would have furthered his international standing within the film industry, and he turned down multiple opportunities to work in Hollywood. Among the filmmakers Bava and his work have influenced include Dario Argento, Lucio Fulci, Federico Fellini, John Carpenter, Nicolas Winding Refn, Martin Scorsese, Tim Burton, Joe Dante, John Landis, Francis Ford Coppola, Roger Corman, Edgar Wright, Jennifer Kent and Quentin Tarantino. His son and frequent assistant director, Lamberto Bava, later became a noted fantasy and horror film director in his own right.
