The movie is an immersion as much as it is a narrative.

Slant Magazine

This conflict between modern medicine and superstition lends Kill, Baby...Kill! a moral volatility that's noticeably absent from other films in Bava's canon.

Rated: 4/4

Little White Lies

A story of collective guilt & implacable vindictiveness, as the past keeps returning to prey vampirically on the present - but also a story that travels through darkness to the dawn, ushering in a new epoch, exorcised of all diabolical vestiges.

Starburst

A perfect Gothic horror film, and a kind of sign-off from the "classic" phase of the genre.

Rated: 8/10

My favorite Bava. Moody, Gothic, surreal, and an utter feast for the eyes.

Mario Bava is rightfully considered a master of horror and certainly one of the best godfathers of the genre. Kill Baby Kill is one of the scariest movies ever made. Here the atmosphere, sounds, picture. The story deserves the best comments. And this image of a girl with a ball then became very popular.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
