An elderly heiress is killed by her husband who wants control of her fortunes. What ensues is an all-out murder spree as relatives and friends attempt to reduce the inheritance playing field, complicated by some teenagers who decide to camp out in a dilapidated building on the estate...
"Кровавый Залив" стал первым фильмом в истории кино, который спровоцировал появление нового жанра - "слэшер-фильмы" ("slashers" или "body count movies") - кино, в котором поверхностный сюжет служит лишь необходимым обрамлением для детального показа серии брутальных кровавых убийств персонажей. Все 13 действующих лиц погибают различными необычными кинематографическими смертями. Доброе десятилетие был рекордсменом по количеству подобных убийств в фильме ужасов... |
A family's murderous battle over some bayfront property is the subject of director Mario Bava's bloody horror-thriller, which many have cited as the grandfather of the modern slasher film. Claudine Auger is the scheming daughter of a murdered Countess; her staged suicide forms the basis of the film's plot. In a seemingly unrelated subplot, four hippies arrive in a dune buggy led by Brigitte Skay, who dances the Shake and swims naked before having her throat hacked open with a machete. Skay's boyfriend has his face chopped with the same machete and the other couple has a spear thrust through their bodies as they make love. All of these murder scenes were imitated in Steve Miner's Friday the 13th, Part 2, and the film's style influenced countless American slasher films of the 1970s and '80s. Bava also includes a strangulation by telephone cord, a gory axe decapitation, a man speared to a wall, and five other murders. Antefatto was a trendsetting film, and paved the way for literally hundreds of graphically violent imitations. The film exists in several versions, differing mainly in the extent of the bloodshed. by Robert Firsching, All Movie Guide
As in SEI DONNE PER L'ASSASSINO and CINQUE BAMBOLE PER LA LUNA D'AGOSTO, greed is the motivating factor: desire for a lovely piece of property, owned by the invalid Countess Federica, sets the story in motion. Despire her wealth, the countess is isolated and lonely. As she gazes out of a window, the rain drops running down the window pane seem to stain her face like tears. Within a few minutes, however, she is murdered by her husband, Filippo Donatti, who is then killed by an unseen assailant and dragged into the bay. The presence of a suicide note, pilfered from the countess' diary, leads the police to assume that she took her own life.
Bava next introduces Frank Ventura, a real estate agent, and his secretary/lover, Laura, as they lie in bed discussing their plans to take over the bay. They realized the bay's potential to fetch a large price on the real estate market, and have convinced Donatti to kill his wife when she refused to sell. All that Ventura requires is Donatti's signature, though he does not realize that he, too, has been killed. Accompanied by Albert, her weak-willed husband, Renata pays a visit to Fassati and his wife Anna. A fortune teller with a very supercilious nature, Anna slyly insinuates that the countess' death was probably Donatti's work and that Simon may be the one to inherit the property. Shocked to discover that she has a half-brother, Renata decides that he will have to be disposed of, little suspecting that he is also hot on her trail! After finding Donatti's mutilated body on Simon's boat, Albert and Renata stop at Ventura's cottage, which is apparently deserted. When Albert leaves for a moment, Ventura tries to dispose of Renata, who gets the upper-hand and kills him instead. This scene is accidentally witnessed by Fassati, and when he tries to phone the police, Albert strangles him. Meanwhile, Renata takes care of the nosy Anna by decapitating her.
Things are complicated further when Laura shows up looking for Ventura. Simon, infuriated to discover that she and Ventura conspired with Donatti to murder his beloved mother, disposes of Laura, before finally being dispatched by Albert. With all of the loose ends apparently tied up, Albert and Renata plan on going home to await the "news" of their inheritance. In an ironic twist, Bava has them shot to death by their own children, whom they have ignored throughout the course of the film, when they playfully point a loaded shotgun in their direction. The little girl then turns to her brother and remarks, "Gee, they're good at playing dead, aren't they?" before skipping off to play by the water.
ECOLOGIA may not present a particularly cheeful portrait of human nature, but there is a ring of truth to it, and the presence of strong female characters like Renata reveals much about Bava's frequently misunderstood attitudes towards women. Bava recognizes their ability to be either victim or victimizer. He sees their potential to be stronger than the male. And, most importantly, he understands the irony behind their relations with men: the man frequently flatters himself that he is using the female to his own ends, but this is simply an assumption informed by chauvenistic attitudes. For example, Frank thinks that by sleeping with Laura, he is keeping her in check, while it is actually the other way around. Unlike many directors of horror films and thrillers, Bava refuses to relegate his female characters exclusively to the level of weak, screaming, addle-brained victim. The convoluted narrative (based on a story by Dardano Sacchetti, also known for his collaborations with Dario Argento, Lucio Fulci, and Lamberto Bava), is strewn with a number of unexpected plot twists. Perhaps the most inspired detail is the way the film becomes a kind of modern-dress version of MACBETH once the story comes to concentrate on the Albert and Renata. Like Shakespeare's play, Bava's film deals with a weak-willed husband driven to murder by his unbalanced, power-mad spouse. Once albert's hands become stained with blood (literally, in a scene that manages to top a parallel scene in Roman Polanski's stunning 1971 film of MACBETH in terms of pure shock effect), he becomes more assertive and enters whole-heartedly into the task at hand. The various murder scenes are incredibly bloody, but the humorous edge prevents the film from becoming a tour through a slaughterhouse (to borrow one critic's misguided but irresistible description of the resurrection scene in Terence Fisher's marvelous DRACULA -- PRINCE OF DARKNESS, 1965). There is a decapitation, multiple slashings, a face split in two by a meat cleaver, a stabbing in the groin, a love-making couple skewered together by a jungle spear, and so on. So vivid were these scenes, in fact, that over the years ECOLOGIA has been cut and re-cut ot satisfy the censorship standards of the day. The uncut version has since surfaced on video, thus preserving Bava's most mischievously funny work in its entirety.
