A family's murderous battle over some bayfront property is the subject of director Mario Bava's bloody horror-thriller, which many have cited as the grandfather of the modern slasher film. Claudine Auger is the scheming daughter of a murdered Countess; her staged suicide forms the basis of the film's plot. In a seemingly unrelated subplot, four hippies arrive in a dune buggy led by Brigitte Skay, who dances the Shake and swims naked before having her throat hacked open with a machete. Skay's boyfriend has his face chopped with the same machete and the other couple has a spear thrust through their bodies as they make love. (Arrow Films)

The ending of the movie "Bloody Bay" is truly well-done and must draw surprise on your face, and maybe even a smile, if you are not a staunch puritan and have a sense of exaggeration. That is actually the whole film, which, in my opinion, turned out very well and is a unique piece of work for its time, which would not be lost even in today's production. Additionally, all the tricks are material, not pixelated.

Utterly uninteresting for modern standards. Sometimes I wish I could watch these forgotten films at the time they came out, I’d love to see how my opinion would change.
