01
Kill Baby, Kill
Why this pick
Bava’s village nightmare has the same ornate, dream-logic unease: baroque interiors, spectral figures, and a reality that seems to drift further out of reach.

02
The Blood Spattered Bride
Why this pick
Its sensual European gothic imagery, isolated mansion setting, and unstable erotic menace closely suit the feverish, decadent spell of Lisa and the Devil.
03
All the Colors of the Dark
Why this pick
This giallo slides from urban paranoia into occult delirium, matching the 1970s Italian visual excess and the seductive uncertainty of Bava’s nightmare.
04
Daughters of Darkness
Why this pick
Elegant hotel spaces, saturated color, and coolly ritualized menace create a similarly luxurious, uncanny atmosphere where desire and danger feel inseparable.
05
The House with Laughing Windows
Why this pick
More restrained but equally uncanny, it turns an Italian provincial landscape into a slow, hypnotic investigation of art, death, and buried evil.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Tourist Lisa Reiner (Elke Sommer) wanders away from her tour group in Toledo, Spain to go shopping inside a store, where she encounters a man named Leandro (Telly Savalas), who is purchasing a dummy and a carousel Lisa attempts to buy. Due to his resemblance to the portrait of the devil in a fresco she has just seen, Lisa flees, only to be confronted by a mustachioed gentleman...who falls from a flight of stairs to his apparent death.
