Baron Blood is one of Mario Bava’s worst films. And really, that only goes to shows what an amazing filmmaker he was, because it’s not a bad film at all. In fact, I quite enjoy it. Elke Sommer (who also starred in Bava’s excellent ’73 effort Lisa and the Devil) is great as the leading lady and delivers some incredible, bloodcurdling screams. The clip below is her screeching highlight with its nerve-racking delay and Sommer’s fingers-in-mouth expression of terror.
