Yes the old Redemption video was cut back in 1995 (the machete in the face, the bonking couple being speared, and a guy getting speared in the tummy), and the current DVD simply uses the same cut print. It would fly through uncut now. |

The cuts to Bay of Blood that I have here, Vince, state they were 2s from a girl killed with a hatchet, 21s from a boy stabbed in the face, 9s from a couple speared while having sex, 11s from a man impaled on a spear and pushed up a wall.

Yep that's the same as I have here. I condensed and rephrased them a bit for the above post (and forgot the 2 sec cut to the girl being hatcheted for some reason). It was certainly pretty influential to later slasher films and many of the killings were reprised (ie nicked) for them. Friday The 13th (the hatchet stabbing in the face). Friday The 13th Pt 2 (the double killing of the lovers though many films have reprised this since). The Burning (the impalement against a wall, or tree in the case of the latter). It's dated a bit now compared to others since but it's still quite enjoyable in its uncut form. |

I have the uncut Image dvd but I'm not keen on this Bava effort.I much prefer his more creepier & atmospheric trio of Kill Baby Kill,Black Sabbath & Black Sunday.The slasher films of the 80s certainly owe a debt to the film though.

I have the Image version of the film. Sound is a bit dodgy but picture is great. Great movie. Utterly entertaining and told at a break neck rate!!! Nice octopus action too  |

I'm definitely a Bava fan and I love this film. The American slasher movie owes a great debt to this movie, as it neatly starts the trend for 'body count' movies. I like it a great deal, but can understand why people might not like it - it does a look a bit dated, granted, but that's all part of its appeal. For me, anyway.

Great fun and well crafted,also own both versions (Italian and English) of the film. The first murder is pure genius.  |

I think it's a superb film, though possibly a little inpenetrable at first - the "who's doing what to whom" aspect of the plot take a bit of sinking in! - I certainly needed a second viewing of Blood Bath (as my first copy was titled) before things began to fall into place. The opening murder sequence is as good as anything Bava ever filmed in his career IMO. I still haven't watched the version in Bava Box 2. Maybe I will do so today! |
