A deliriously fun-filled ride into the multi-coloured universe that is the mind of maestro Mario Bava, Hatchet for the Honeymoon follows mad wedding-dress designer, John Harrington, who murders his harridan of a wife - played with obvious relish by Dagmar Lassander - only to be followed and taunted by her ghost! He takes out his frustration on the unsuspecting brides-to-be that visit his studio.
Not Bava's best (for me that's got to be 'Kill, Baby, Kill') but great fun, and you can tell that all involved had fun making it. A great introduction for those new to the wonderful world of Giallo.

Caught this on the horror channel and it sent me almost giddy with delight. It may be a little slow to start but it never seems to run out of strange, high concept ideas to throw at the audience. On the face of it, it's a zany giallo thriller about a man compelled to commit ritualistic murders to restore a repressed memory but the genre changes a few times over the course of the film, my favourite is it's brief stint of Poe-style supernatural morality tale.
As well as the sly, inventive script the movie's full of bombastic editing and camerawork with every piece of violence framed like a masterpiece. It really is Mario Bava on top form. I'll definitely be picking it up for my collection
