Three tales of expertly building suspense. [10 Jul 2013, Issue#1268]
There's a little bit of everything in Bava's best-known film, the three-part anthology Black Sabbath.
This is easily one of Bava's crowning achievements as a filmmaker and one of the greatest horror anthologies ever filmed.
Back when anthology TV shows such as The Twilight Zone and Thriller were in their heyday, the movies, too, entertained a spate of horror/supernatural multistory features that fans still regard with affection. Director Mario Bava, whose earlier single-story satanic yarn Black Sunday picked up a wide following, turned Sabbath into one of the best. [11 Aug 2000, 8E]
Three solid and scary tales of terror from the undisputed master of Italian horror, Mario Bava.
Even with Boris Karloff providing a lighthearted introduction and sign-off, Black Sabbath is fraught with fatalism.
