MARIO BAVA BOX SET: VOLUME 1
“THE KING OF ITALIAN HORROR DIRECTORS” ~THE NEW YORK TIMES
More than a quarter of a century after his death, director Mario Bava
remains one of international cinema’s most controversial icons. Today his
influence – marked by stunning visuals, daring sexuality and shocking
violence – can still be seen in the works of Martin Scorsese, David Lynch,
Tim Burton, Dario Argento and countless others in a legacy that extends far
beyond the horror genre. This collection brings together 5 landmark movies
from the first half of Bava’s career – encompassing the original giallo, a
bold Viking epic, and his three gothic horror masterpieces – featuring new
transfers, alternate
European versions and exclusive featurettes to create the definitive
celebration of one of the most important filmmakers of all time.
Included in Volume 1:
Black Sunday (2 Version: International and US): One of the first Gothic
Horror Flicks, this is the film that launched Big Screen star Barbara
Steele.
Black Sabbath (2 Versions: International and US): A trio of atmospheric
horror tales, widely acclaimed for their artistic use of light and dark.
The Girl Who Knew Too Much (2 Versions: International and US): This is the
first Italian giallo film featuring Nora Davis, a tourist who soon finds
more than she bargained for as mystery and intrigue set the stage for a Bava
classic.
Kill Baby Kill: Another classic from the late 60’s that is still referenced
to this day in such films as Candyman, Feardotcom, and Sleepy Hollow.
Knives of the Avenger: A Viking Guardian and a Evil King battle to the death
