A Bay of Blood (originally released as Ecologia del delitto and Reazione a catena) is a 1971 Italian horror film of "giallo" sub-genre which is often stated as a first fully formed example of as slasher film genre, which have inspired many other movies, most notable Friday the 13th, its first sequel (in which some of the scenes were recreated shot-for-shot) and The Evil Dead franchise.

Film is notorious for a big amount of alternate names (argueably the biggest in movie history) - it has at least two in any basic country it was shown. After movie had changed at least three working titles (Odore di carne ("The Odor of Flesh"), Cosi imparano a fare i cattivi ("Thus do we live to be evil"), Antefatto ("Before the Fact") it was released as Ecologia del delitto ("The Ecology of Crime") but was pulled off because of poor box office and re-released as Reazione a catena ("The Chain Reaction") and, later as Bahia di Sangre ("A Bay of Blood"). In USA because of numerous theatrical and video releases film is known by dozens of different names, the most frequent of which are "A Bay of Blood" and "Twitch of the Death Nerve".

It turns out to be a real shotgun, but he doesn't know that and thinks that his parents are pretending to be shot. Considering the angle and film's low budget it is possible. that live rounds were fired.
