Audience Member I really enjoyed this..Perfect for a stormy night..! Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member A much under rated film that is less a Bava classic and more a gory Hammer Horror standard. Where some have described the plot as obvious or plodding I have always found it brooding and still remember how scared I was when I first saw BB as a nine year old. There are screams, there is gore, there is wonderful Gothic architecture and the lighting is muted to the point of being annoying. In other words it's a perfect movie to watch on a wet winter's night when there are strange noises outside and the hairs on the back of your neck are starting to prickle.. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Death awaits. Peter heads back to the home of his family. His family history includes an evil Baron who tortured and mutilated people until the people finally fought back and brutally killed him. There are rumors the Baron's ghost still haunts the mansion. When Peter's actions accidentally release the ghost, he compounds the mistake by destroying the manuscript to stop the ghost. Will Peter survive his family research? "Do you believe it was the Baron?" "I believe it could have been." Mario Bava, director of Black Sunday, A Bay of Blood, The Evil Eye, Hercules in the Underworld, 5 Dolls for an August Moon, Planet of the Vampires, and Black Sabbath, delivers Baron Blood. The storyline for this picture is classic 70s horror with some eerie and interesting horror sequences. The cast delivers average performances and includes Joseph Cotton, Elke Sommer, and Massimo Girotti. "It was a foolish thing you did." I came across the Mario Bava collection on Netflix and decided to give this a viewing. I will say that it was entertaining and fun to watch unfold. It would fit perfectly in the grindhouse/drive-in genre. This isn't a classic, but worth viewing for fans of the horror genre from this era. "Mortals are such fools." Grade: C Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review anthony p Italian 'Eurogothic' horror from 1972 by director Mario Bava. I say Italian the film is supposedly set in some Austrian castle. Two students including a scantily clad 1970s Elke Sommer bring back to life a 16th Century Baron nicknamed Baron Blood for his bloodthirsty activities. After reawakening he is soon back up to his murderous and rather gruesome spree. Director Bava shot the film in a colourful manner for a horror film. Rather poor film if I'm being honest. Probably one for Bava fans. The print I watched was in good Blu Ray condition and as I alluded to earlier colourful. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the lesser Bava movies, although Elke is a delight to look at and Cotten does a grand job of chewing up the scenery. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Definitely not one of Mario Bavas best films. I would only recommend Baron Blood to his hardcore fans. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews
