Entertainment Reviews:
The film that best defines the most habitual representation of a psychopath in these kind of productions, although at the same time denies its specific importance. [Full review in Spanish]

The plot becomes secondary to spectacle of the dreamy dance of death, choreographed with sadistic precision, delivered in lurid color, spied upon with a restlessly gliding camera.

For those prepared to overlook the stumbling script which exists merely as a frame, this is a true original, a portrait of murder in oils.

The dummies here reflect a society's ruthless commoditization of the body and flesh.

Rating: C+ --
This B-film has a wooden script, leaden acting and uninteresting characters, but manages to show flashes of competence through the colorful direction of Bava.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
While there would be better giallo films arriving in later years, the postmark on this one makes it essential viewing.

Rating: 4/4 --
Part painting, part tango, the picture is meticulous depravity and rapture, from its Mod-fab tableaux vivant opening credits through to its escalating abomination.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Having established a template for the giallo with The Girl Who Knew Too Much, Mario Bava set about cementing its rules with Blood and Black Lace. In doing so he created one of the most influential films ever made - an Italian classic that would spearhead the giallo genre, provide a prototype for the slasher movie, and have a huge effect on filmmakers as diverse as Dario Argento and Martin Scorsese
