Reazione a Catena (also known as Bay Of Blood, Twitch Of The Death Nerve, Ecologia Del Delitto...) is a 1971 horror film by Mario Bava. Designed as a comeback film after he lost his distribution deal with American International Pictures, Bava effectively created a film that has served as the blueprint for the Bodycount/Slasher genre of horror, with many of its sequences copied by other horror films (most notably Friday The 13th)

The film's plot is a convoluted "Who Done It", as people begin dying left and right during the course of a long weekend at the lakeside home of an elderly heiress. There are multiple murderers at work, as a slew of shady characters (and a quartet of sex-obsessed teens) end up dying in horrific fashion. There is also a Surprise Ending that will shock you...

This film provides examples of:

Anyone Can Die: And does.
Creepy Child: The killers' kids.
Don't Go in The Woods: Or swimming in the bay. Or in the cabin nearby. Or... anywhere, really. Just drive away.
Death By Sex: Two kids. Impaled. But in this one the girl is on top.
Gorn
Gory Discretion Shot: Averted.
Greed Kills: Literally.
Impaled With Extreme Prejudice: The two boffing kids and Simone.
Kill'Em All: And HOW.
Machete Mayhem
Mind Screw: The ending. And most of the movie.
Peek a Boo Corpse: The Count to one of the teen girls. She doesn't last long after it, though.
The Killer Becomes the Killed: The Count, Simone and the greedy parents in the finale.
Video Nasty
Youth Is Wasted On the Dumb: Some can say this of the four young people who stop for a quick death.
