Shipping will include tracking number 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, original European versions, and exclusive featurettes to create the definitive celebration of one of the most important filmmakers of all time. 1) BLACK SUNDAY (1960):Mario Bava's 1960 directorial debut stands alone as one of the most influential and startling chillers of all time. British actress Barbara Steele became an international icon in this uber-gothic fever dream pulsing with stunning cinematography and landmark special effects-both by Bava himself-in which the conventional trappings of the horror genre were indelibly impaled upon perverse sexuality and graphic sadism. It remains, quite simply, a masterpiece of the macabre that changed the face of cinema forever. This presentation of Bava's uncut and uncensored International Version entitled THE MASK OF SATAN features the original Italian score and English dubbing. FEATURES:.

Michele Mercier stars in THE TELEPHONE, a tale of lesbian obsession and murder. In THE WURDALAK, Karloff stars wit Mark Damon as the patriarch of a family of bloodthirsty ghouls. And in THE DROP OF WATER, Jacqueline Pierreux is a nurse stalked by the vengeful spirit of a dead medium. This presentation of Bava's original uncut International Version entitled I TRE VOLTI VOLTI DELLA PAURA/THE THREE FACES OF FEAR features the original score and Italian language track. FEATURES:.

Leticia Roman stars as an American tourist in Rome who witnesses a serial killer's latest slaying and convinces a charming young doctor (John Saxon) to help her investigate the city's 'Alphabet Murders'. Co-written by Bava and his final feature shot in black & white, its inventive camerawork, masterful composition and wily humor combine to create one of the most surprising and satisfying films of Il Maestro's career. For the first time anywhere, this presentation includes Bava's original uncut Italian-language International Version LA RAGAZZA CHE SAPEVA TROPPO/THE GIRL WHO KNEW TOO MUCH. FEATURES:.

Co-written by Bava (as John Hold), the film delivers robust raping and pillaging yet proffers a uniquely humanist approach that virtually re-imagines SHANE as a Viking drama. The result transcends its typically chest-thumping genre to emerge as one of Bava's most emotionally complex and visually compelling films. This remastered presentation of KNIVES OF THE AVENGER includes, for the first time on DVD, the original Italian language audio track with optional English subtitles, as well as the dubbed English track.

(1966):Giacomo Rossi-Stuart and Erika Blanc star in Bava's final gothic masterpiece, the hallucinatory tale of a remote village tormented by the specter of a dead little girl. Despite its threadbare budget, Bava creates an unprecedented world of baroque dread, mesmerizing disorientation and explosive color whose direct influence would be seen in films by Fellini, Scorsese, Argento, David Lynch and Guillermo Del Toro. More than 40 years later, it remains one of the most beautiful and unnerving horror experiences of all time. Alternately known as CURSE OF THE LIVING DEAD and OPERAZIONE PAURA/OPERATION FEAR, Bava's 1966 stunner has been plagued for decades by inferior public domain transfers. This presentation has now been remastered from all-new elements to create the highest quality version ever seen in North America. FEATURES:. Widescreen Presentation (1.85:1) enhanced for 16x9 TVs.
