The version of this that I got is HORRIBLY dubbed. It's like they went on an online translator and changed the dialog to English and it's so ridiculous. There are words used that just make no sense and I got the feeling the whole time that it would have made more sense if it had just been subtitled.
"A Blade in the Dark" is probably my least favorite Lamberto Bava film that I've seen so far and I'm surprised because usually I love Sachetti's stuff (City of the Living Dead...) But this film was just full of holes. How big is this villa that the dude is staying in??? How come he's not shocked when there is a woman in his closet??? How come he doesn't contact the police??? Then, when you find out who the killer is, it's just totally implausible.
I've seen it written that this movie was made to be a comedy. I think it takes itself way too seriously. The only thing that redeems it in the end is the gore. There are a few awesome gore scenes. The music is pretty cool too.
5 out of 10, kids.
