In Satan's Blood Rush (also known under the English title: Bay of Blood ) is an Italian horror film by the director Mario Bava from 1971. He is considered a forerunner and co-founder of the slasher film genre.

action

In an idyllic bay , the aging, wheelchair- dependent Countess Federica Donati is strangled by her husband before he too becomes the victim of a murderer. This is the prelude to a series of bloody and gruesome murders that appear to be random and incoherent. The superstitious villagers suspected an ancient curse as the background to this bloodlust.

But apparently the members of the aristocratic clan did everything they can to decimate relatives out of jealousy, revenge and financial interests. Countess Federica's son wants to avenge his mother's death, but he too becomes a victim. In the end, only two small children remain in the family - who previously shot their parents.
