Director Mario Bava is at his gruesome "best" as killings are accomplished in every manner possible, and the film may still hold the record for body count. It also inspired many slasher movies to follow, including the "Halloween" and "Friday the 13th" series. Oh, there is a plot of sorts: a fight for the inheritance of land on the bay.
