A Blade In The dark. 1983

A composer staying at a villa while working on a score for a new horror movie is being stalked by a killer.

Lamberto Bava takes a shot at this murder mystery type slasher film which seems to follow suit to the way Dario Argento made his killer movies. Even from the start it was enjoyable, Bob from THBTC makes a small appearance for about 3 minutes and vanishes with a annoying scream (thankfully it was a cameo scene). The acting wasn't great but that was flawed by the bad over dubbing which can appear laughable in some scenes. The music score blends in with the background in some expect the unexpected scenes. It is worth a watch for giallo fans . 7 out of 10.
