Black Sunday (1960) Buy
the DVD
Directed by Mario Bava
This is the only horror movie you ever gotta see! Bava's first
film is still one of the best when it comes to gothic horror and overdosing on
atmosphere & style. Not to mention Barbara Steele! Whoever said a
horror movie can't be beautiful? Thanks to actress Barbara Steele's stunning
good looks and director Mario Bava's striking visual sense, that's exactly what
BLACK SUNDAY is! The plot deals with a witch and her vampire-like lover who
return from the grave to seek revenge on the descendants of those who burned her
at the stake over one hundred years before. As is usually the case with Bava,
style is way more important than substance, though the plot isn't bad for such a
Gothic horror film. Barbara Steele appears in a dual role: a beautiful and pure
princess, and the wicked witch who wants to take over her body. Steele is
magnificent in both roles, and Bava's direction is as solid as can be. This film
is truly a classic of the genre and demands multiple viewings. Horror fans must
not miss it!!!!!
