This Fourth of July, Bloody Essentials takes a dip into murky waters with The Bay (2012). Ethan, Jamie, and Nina wade through the found-footage chaos to talk about what worked, what flopped, and why this eco-horror had more bite in theory than execution. Plus, the real-life parasitic nightmares that inspired it—and why The Bay might just be scarier than fireworks gone wrong.

In this episode of Bloody Essentials, hosts Nina, Ethan, and Jamie are joined by longtime friend and film enthusiast, John, to unearth a true hidden gem: Lucio Fulci’s One on Top of the Other (1969).

Long before Fulci became synonymous with splatter horror, he dipped into the world of erotic thrillers and proto-giallo suspense—and the results are deliciously twisted.

Set against the foggy backdrop of San Francisco, this stylish thriller serves up double identities, sensual intrigue, and a murder mystery that keeps you guessing. It’s Hitchcock by way of Italy, and it’s time more people gave it the love it deserves.

Join us as we break down Fulci’s early masterpiece, its place in the evolution of giallo cinema, and why this seductive, suspense-filled ride is essential viewing for horror and thriller fans alike.

🎬 One on Top of the Other – more than just a sexy thriller... it's a glimpse into the dark, stylish future of Italian genre filmmaking.
