influential thriller still ripped off to this day
21 September 2003
Possibly Bava's most influential color film, they've been quoting this one for decades! Fellini recommended Bava to the producers of "Histoires Extrordinaire" because of it, (They wanted the Fellini name, leading to "Toby Dammit", which was suspected to have been co-directed by Bava for years because of the haunting little girl similarities), saw an anti-drug commercial that repeats one scene, there is a little girl Demon at the end of "The Last Temptation Of Christ", various little girl in white dress movies that bear an influence ("Witch Story" comes to mind first), it was quoted to some degree in much David Lynch starting with "Twin Peaks, etc.. It might seem a little tame and/or dull to some, but this has hypnotized me for years. Gotta love all that colored smoke!
