Kill, Baby... Kill! (1966) - ovo zadnji put gledao prije 11 godina kad sam se prvi put upoznavao sa legendarnim Mariom Bavom i ocijenio sa visokom ocjenom. Sad će biti nešto manja, ali ono što je i dalje vrhunsko i nenadjebivo je preizvrsna Euro atmosfera u starom selu i tim kućama. To je ono što Euro horori 60-ih imaju prednost nad svim hororima iz drugih era. Ima nešto tako opipljivo u tome. Film nije strašan, ali ima onaj creepy faktor. Ima duh djevojčice, ima jednu vješticu i misteriju. I sve to začinjeno sa prilično dobrom glazbenom podlogom. Volim Bavine horore i uvijek ću ih voljeti.
7.5/10
UTJECAJ/ZNAČAJ - a što se tiče utjecaja, utjecaj ovog filma je ogroman. Taj duh djevojčice je nenormalno utjecajan jer je od nje krenulo onaj motiv male djevojčice sa lopticom
Scholar David Sanjek also noted the film's use of the child symbolizing evil as a pioneering motif in the genre: "Kill, Baby, Kill, a film of genuine poetic power and visual ingenuity, successfully inverted gothic stereotypes of good and evil by having the power of good embodied by a dark-haired witch while evil is represented by an angelic, blonde young girl."

In Asia, several productions also feature a spectral young girl with a white bouncing ball, such as Wellson Chin's 1997 film Tamagotchi and the anime series Pokémon, specifically the episodes "Abra and the Psychic Showdown" and "Haunter vs. Kadabra"
pa onda ovo od Fellinia, Scorsesea i Lyncha
The spectre of little Melissa Graps, with her white lace dress and bouncing white ball, is perhaps the most influential icon of Italian horror cinema, having been copied in countless other films, notably Federico Fellini...and the film itself has been an admitted influence on such directors as Martin Scorsese and David Lynch;" he and Lamberto Bava have identified it as their personal favorites of Bava's films
Uz sve to treba dodati da je film stavljen od razno raznih magazina više puta među 100 najboljih horor filmova svih vremena. Svaki Bavin horor je nenormalno utjecajan pa tako i ovaj. A+,
