Don't judge a movie by its cover can definitely be used to describe Blood and Lace. Looking at that sweet artwork above, you wouldn't be wrong in thinking it's going to be some bloody revenge fare, but alas, Blood and Lace is something completely different and in this case, different doesn't mean bad, but just... well different.

PLOT SUMMARY
She searched through the dark corridors of the unknown, only to find… the unbearable.
Available for the first time on a home entertainment format, the 1971 cult favorite Blood and Lace is a twisted tale of horror frequently cited as a precursor to the slasher films of the late 70s and early 80s.

We see through the eyes of a killer, as they stalk through a house, brandishing a hammer. The killer enters a room and starts to smash away at two victims. Cut to the stunning Melody Patterson, who plays Ellie Masters, waking up from some nightmare. We find out she is the daughter of one of the victims and because she isn't 21 yet and doesn't know who her father is, she is going to be sent to a boarding home. From there we find out that the boarding home is run by two crazies, Len Lesser who played Uncle Leo in Seinfeld, and Gloria Grahame from It's a Wonderful Life. Ellie wants to run away, but most of the kids that try end up dead and at the same time she is looking for a way to escape, she has to deal with being stalked by some crazy masked man wielding a hammer, but not everything is exactly as it seems and come they end, you'll either be laughing your head off, or confused beyond belief.

It's a damn shame she didn't go on to do lots of other movies, as according to her IMDb page, she was in a TV series and only did a couple other small roles. In Blood and Lace, her performance is the highlight in the movie even if the movie doesn't do a good job at developing her character enough, but instead has her just kind of screaming, being confused and running around a lot. It's only hinted at the end that there was way more to her than meets the eye, but alas, that's all we
