Reviews:

Pretty mediocre Italian horror.
“A Blade in the Dark” is a mediocre horror film.People comparing it to Argento’s classics are completely missing the point.Obviously Lamberto Bava does not have the talent of his brilliant father Mario Bava-“A Blade in the Dark” is nothing in comparison to “Blood and Black Lace”,”A Bay of Blood” or “The Girl Who Knew Too Much”.Still “A Blade in the Dark” is quite enjoyable,if you’re a fan of Italian horror.Bruno,a music composer is offered a job by a female director to write the music for her newest horror film.He takes on the job and rents a small villa.As soon as he starts his work a series of brutal murders is set in motion.The film is not as scary as some people claim-in fact it’s pretty dull.There are some vicious and really bloody murders,particularly the bathroom killing,but there is not enough gore for my liking.The script is sometimes too idiotic and the dubbing is horrible.So if you have enough time to waste give this one a look-just don’t expect a masterpiece.

An absorbing Giallo.
Lamberto Bavas’ amusing Giallo “A Blade in the Dark” is more straightforward than most; it’s reasonably stylish yet never goes for the truly bizarre or nonsensical. The director, working from a screenplay by husband and wife writers Dardano Sacchetti and Elisa Briganti, does a respectable job of balancing traditional suspense with some in your face gory mayhem. (It’s highly recommended that one see this in uncut form.)

Andrea Occhipinti plays Bruno, a film composer who isolates himself in a beautiful villa to work on his score for a horror film directed by his friend Sandra (Anny Papa). Soon, however, sexy lady neighbours meet gruesome demises as a creepy killer is haunting the premises. Bruno becomes obsessed with the circumstances and takes it upon himself to solve this mystery.

Even if one is able to figure everything out early on, the film is still solidly entertaining. It benefits from Bavas’ use of the locations and his flair for the macabre. The murderer switches back and forth between an exacto knife and a kitchen knife, and shows no mercy. One particular murder sequence takes place in a bathroom and is very sadistic. There’s some undeniable silliness – for one thing, a pesky invertebrate is referred to as a cockroach when we can clearly see it’s a spider. Some viewers may take issue with the performances by the actors doing the dubbing, but others may find them entertaining.

The acting is basically decent. Handsome Occhipinti is ably supported by luscious ladies Papa, Fabiola Toledo as Angela, Valeria Cavalli as Katia, and Lara Lamberti as Julia. Assistant director Michele Soavi also has the key supporting role of Tony. Fans of Lucio Fulcis’ “The House by the Cemetery” will note the presence of Giovanni Frezza, a.k.a. the infamous “Bob”, in the film within the film.

Ultimately fairly twisted, “A Blade in the Dark” is a nicely shot, sometimes spooky film with a music score (by Guido and Maurizio De Angelis) that is sometimes repetitive but still effective. It goes on for about 109 minutes, so it does sort of drag at times, but overall it should be acceptable viewing for fans of this genre.

Eight out of 10.
