But Mario Bava’s monochrome masterpiece Black Sunday fully deserves to be set alongside them: while Hitchcock and Powell were revolutionizing the genre by bringing the terror closer to home, Bava was doing almost the opposite, creating a boldly imaginative and dreamlike world inspired by the Universal classics, while at the same time using groundbreaking special effects to ensure that the horrors depicted on screen were more graphically disturbing than ever before." - Tom Huddleston, Time Out
Tonight see two Italian horror classics starring Barbara Steele: Mario Bava's landmark BLACK SUNDAY ('60) at 7:30pm followed by Antonio Margheriti's CASTLE OF BLOOD ('64) at 9:25pm. Final night for both!
