Cinematic Void is back to invade The Frida Cinema with their annual January Giallo festivities, and this time they’ve presenting Mario Bava’s 1971 proto-Slasher A Bay Of Blood! 

The story follows an elderly heiress that 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.

Few films in the Giallo canon cut as deep as A Bay Of Blood. Often cited as a major influence on Friday the 13th and a dozen other slashers, it’s Bava’s most cold-blooded (red-blooded?) masterpiece. Don’t miss your chance to see this newly restored cult classic on the silver screen!

The second film presented by Cinematic Void as part of this year’s January Giallo at The Frida is a free screening of A Hyena In The Safe, now with a brand new 4K restoration courtesy of Celluloid Dreams!

One safe. Six keys. Six robbers, each expecting their cut of a diamond heist when they finally meet to divide their spoils after months in hiding. But before they can open the safe that guards their glittering hoard, they are mysteriously killed, one by one. With fear and suspicion growing among the shrinking group of survivors, it becomes clear that one of them is trying to take all the diamonds for themselves!

Thank you to Celluloid Dreams for letting us present this beautifully restored version, bringing the film in high definition to the big screen for the first time!
