Summary: Mellisa Graps is downright scary
Review: Ok so there's no nudity or gore, but this film has quite a few scenes that will send some chills up your spine. The little girl that plays the ghost of Mellisa is evil, scary, and a diabolical little killer. Check her out in the scene where she wills the innkeeper's daughter to stab herself through the throat. I mean really look at her! That smile is pure evil and the way she keeps darting her eyes is sinister. When she pops out of closets or in hallways she always has that evil twisted little look and she raised the level of how the film turned out. Kudos to the director for getting that girl to do that.
Of course there are some hot chicks in this movie as well. The innkeeper's daughter is a real cutie. Monica plays Melissa's older sister and she is stunning. Check out the scene when she wakes up from her nightmare. She gives us a heartbreaking view of her thighs. That demented doll sitting on the edge of the bed was another fright thrown in for good measure. ANd how can we forget the lovely raven haired sorceress? She's a hottie.
Our hero is the good doctor who came to the village to investigate an apparant suicide, but the townsfolk know it's really the curse of Melissa. Check out this dudes hair. In the entire movie never a hair is out of place. It's like his whole head was dipped in clear plastic. I mean sure he never changes his clothes either, but my God that hair. How could he investigate a murder with all the time he would need to spend in front of the mirror? I guess that's why the Burgermeister was bald, we had enough hair to deal with.
Anyway, this movie is great. Sure they go a little heavy on the fog machine, and all the corpses are breathing and have eyes moving under the lids, but aside from that this is a fine picture. Even the old hag who played Mellisa's mother played a fine role.
So when you see a girl being trampled, you better help. Or else this could happen to you.

Summary: An excellent full-screen movie
Review: Once again, I have to rate the DVD by its' quality. This entertainment medium is ALL ABOUT great picture and fantastic sound. Although I appreciate the opportunity to see the Mario Bava movie, the DVD is not something that will excite your senses alone.The DVD runs smoothly so at least it has that going for it. One can assume that this is all there is left to publish for this particular movie, even though it came years later than Bava's first features. You will be treated to a couple beautiful women as a feast for the eyes. One is dressed up and one is dressed down. There is an older, spooky woman and of course the female child is unsettling to look at. The spooky village is dirty and old, and it has a wonderful cemetary set. Gee, I wish that I could have seen this movie when I was younger! It's a film that I'll play often.

Summary: Classical horror film...
Review: This is a very classical horror film, which is little bit old, but some scenes are nice and well made. From the beginning until end, there is only night scene no daylight. This film is using a color as an atmosphere; for instance, green is used appropriately in a horror mood.
There are some technical scenes, which are actually not specific nowadays, but at that time, maybe it would be uncommon. For example, main actor just run to the same room and he try to go to the downstairs but he wanders from same floor. The plot is that people are killed from conspiracy between a woman who tries to control the spirit of human, and a mother who tries to save her daughter's spirit who was killed. Anyway, it is a fine work of Mario Bava, especially classical mood was really splendid.

Summary: DVD not as bad as rumored to be.
Review: VCI's early DVD release of Bava's "Kill Baby Kill" is nowhere near as clean a presentation as their other Bava releases, but it is not as bad as the rumors have made it out to be. Yes, there is some slight artifacting, the colors are somewhat washed out and it's in full-frame instead of widescreen, but overall, it's still very watchable and superior than any of the VHS releases of the title. Apparently, there are no better master sources for the film that still exist so the rumored upcoming release by Image would probably be of the same quality (I would love to be proved wrong, tho). The lack of widescreen is a bit unnerving and noticeable in a few shots where characters are off to the side and not visible on screen when they should be, but it's not a scope film so it's not too bad. Anyway, the film is presented decently and, even with the DVD's flaws, it's better than VHS and Bava fans shouldn't avoid snatching this film up. And if you buy the Mario Bava box-set, you basically would get this one "free" because of the discounted price - so what are you waiting for?
