Also need to point out that Dark Sky DVD are also bringing out their own version of Kill, Baby, Kill a week before the Anchor Bay release and it looks at the moment to be the better package, and perhaps double-dipping might be in order. For years this film has been at the top of all Bava fans wish-lists and now 2 version are out at the same time! Still better to have these films on DVD than not at all!



Kill, Baby, Kill from Dark Sky will however have an all important Tim Lucas commentary and a featurette with Mario's son, Lamberto (Demoni 1 and 2) taking a trip back to the town of Calcata where the movie was filmed. Sounds good and DVD Savant have a review up already which you can find here.
