Our take

The golden age of Italian horror was in its twilight days when Mario Bava returned to the genre with this gothic masterpiece, often regarded as his greatest film. An entrancing small-town ghost story shot in ravishing color, Kill, Baby… Kill! occupies an uncanny dream world of nightmarish intensity.
