Reviews

Upon its release in 1966, 'Kill, Baby... Kill!' received mixed reviews from critics. While some praised director Mario Bava's atmospheric cinematography and eerie visuals, others found the plot to be convoluted and the pacing slow. The film's gothic aesthetic and haunting imagery captivated audiences and established it as a cult classic in the horror genre. A retrospective review by Rotten Tomatoes described it as 'a haunting and visually stunning masterpiece that showcases Bava's talent for creating an unsettling atmosphere'. IMDb users rated it 6.9/10, with many praising its haunting atmosphere and Gothic visuals. Metacritic, on the other hand, gave it a lower score, attributing it to the film's dated storytelling and pacing. Overall, 'Kill, Baby... Kill!' remains a divisive yet influential piece of Italian horror cinema.
