Classic creepy kid movie. In this one, it’s the ghost of a little girl who roams a podunk Italian village with the giggle fits. For fun she likes to bounce a rubber ball, make sudden creepy appearances in windows and possess people into impaling themselves to death onto spiky metal gates. It’s up to a doctor (Giacomo Rossi Stuart) from the city to figure out if this ghost stuff is true or if the villagers are just drinking too much Chianti. More deaths, a few witches and lots of Mario Bava’s dreamy color schemes line the path. Bava takes Gothic settings and turns them day-glo. Even if you’re scared—fifty years later, there are still a couple of good jumps here—you can’t take your eyes off it.
