BLACK SUNDAY (MASCHERA DEL DEMONIO, LA / MASK OF SATAN / HOUSE OF FRIGHT / REVENGE OF THE VAMPIRE / MASK OF THE DEMON ) - 1960
Bava's most frightening masterpiece, a tribute to the classic horror of Universal Pictures. In 17th Century Moldavia, the evil Princess Asa is condemned to death for witchcraft and vampirism, along with her brother, Prince Igor Javutich. Two hundred years later, two doctors en route to a medical convention discover her crypt and accidentally set her resurrection in motion! With the help of Javutich and others whom she enthralls with her cold, dead kiss, Asa sets her sights on her ultimate victim--Princess Katia, her own twin descendant. Filmed in gorgeous black & white by the director himself, this is a stylish and relentlessly visual film of undiluted violence starring cult film star Barbara Steele.
