'Five Dolls for an August Moon' (1970) – Mario Bava.

Internationally esteemed macabre movie magician Mario Bava's creepily claustrophobic, head-swimmingly hedonistic, not infrequently fabulous, and frequently audacious, sin-slathered, island-set shocker 'Five Dolls for an August Moon' is a supremely slinky-sexy, over-amped, lava-lamped, early 70s slasher sensation starring Giallo gorgeous glamour girl Edwige Fenech! This memorably morbid, sublimely skewed jet-set massacre remains a deliciously dark, sardonically twisted cinematic feast for the senses, with the irrepressibly pulchritudinous, raven-haired, triumphantly top-popping temptress Edwige Fenech once again making for the most irresistibly sensual, sensation-seeking slaughter siren! As this eerily elusive, kaleidoscopically kooky killer bloodily despatches this entertainingly querulous crowd of dangerously duplicitous, money-grubbing, double-dealing, J&B-soaked degenerates, your disbelieving eyes will blissfully boggle at maestro Bava's majestically malevolent mise-en-scene, and previously inert booty's shall salaciously shimmy to mood-master Piero Umiliani's fearfully funky score which dreamily delivers some of his most sonically sublime, glamorously glistering Giallo grooves! Stylishly playing out like an exceptionally paranoid Agatha Christie-on-acid murder mystery, the luxuriously lurid-looking 'Five Dolls for an August Moon' is one stiletto-cool, tripped-out, terror island blood-spiller from one of Italian cinema's most visually adept, playfully convention tweaking, exquisitely enticing genre film-makers.
