[Inspector Abberline]

Mario Bava's Twitch of The Death Nerve..(that's the title I prefer over Bay of Blood, or any other name they might of given it)…is one of the few movies I absolutely love where there isn't a single redeeming character amongst the whole bunch of them. For example the film Your Next suffers from the same problem, not a single sympathetic person amongst the whole miserable bunch, in fact even the killers who I normally route for were equally annoying as the heroine, a film I will never go back to again...The same applies to Bay of Blood,er I mean Twitch, but I'm sure this was done on purpose as the whole plot of inheriting a piece of land has sent the family into a murderous frenzy, along with the illegitimate son and the estate agent...Although to be honest why anybody wants this piece of land is beyond me, for one thing the bay is full of dead bodies and squidgy squid...I'm no Bava expert, but this seems quite a different direction compared to his earlier gothic movies, this is more of a full on popcorn slasher movie, and murder has never been so much fun...Special mention must go to Brigitte Skay as Brunhilde , again a terribly irritating character but I take my hat off to the actress, that water looked flaming cold and horrible looking, I especially liked there yellow dune buggy, very hip..
