Description:
From the Mario Bava Collection comes his 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, "Black Sunday" is a stylish and relentlessly visual film of undiluted violence starring cult film star Barbara Steele (Shivers, 8 1/2). The uncut European version--first time on video in the United States!

The reigning masterpiece of Italian horror cinema, Mario Bava's Black Sunday remains one of the most stylishly photographed of all horror films, ranking with any other black-and-white film of lasting repute. This was the master cameraman's official directorial debut, and his striking compositions are the work of a genuine artist in peak form. Loosely adapted from a story by Nikolai Gogol, this chilling vampire tale begins in 17th-century Moldavia, where the evil Princess Asa (Barbara Steele) is executed for witchcraft and vampirism, along with her brother Javutich (Arturo Dominici). Two centuries later, a pair of traveling doctors discover Asa's crypt and inadvertently revive the evil princess, whose scheme of vampiric revenge is aimed at her own identical descendant Princess Katia, an innocent beauty (also played by Steele) whose lifeblood will ensure Asa's immortality.
Influenced by Universal's classic horror films of the '30s and British Hammer films of the late '50s, Black Sunday (released in Italy as The Mask of Satan) is a dark fairy tale, with horror queen Steele as the definitive embodiment of erotic horror. With shocking violence (tame by today's standards) and visual emphasis on tombs, secret passages, ominous castles, and unseen forces, the film offers a wealth of memorable imagery and inventive technique. Redubbed, rescored, and harshly edited for its American release in 1961, Black Sunday is presented on DVD in the original English-language director's cut of The Mask of Satan, never before available in the U.S. The perfect movie to watch on a dark and stormy night, this timeless classic is the Citizen Kane of horror films, entirely worthy of its lofty reputation. --Jeff Shannon

I hate watching dubbed movies. I would much rather watch a film with sub-titles than hear some goofball voice-overs. The only thing worse is Black Sabbath (the film) because it was shot in English, then dubbed in Italian!!!

Superbly atmospheric, very well written, dark, and dramatic movie, this movie will keep you entranced. Its a great movie to see with the lights out, and you wont be disappointed for a second! Excellent extras too both in previews of other movies of the time and promos for this movie. I highly recommend this one, its the first by this director and its easy to see why its such a cult classic!!!

I saw this movie in the theater when I was 12 years old. I've never forgotten it as being one of the scariest movies I'd ever seen. Gave me nightmares but the thing I remember the most was Barbara Steele having the mask removed from her face. I was on the edge of my seat hanging on for dear life. What a thrill! I thought she was the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen. I love this movie. It is a cult movie and worthy of it's status. This would be a great halloween movie for the older kids.

We are in Moldavia, 1630. The beautiful princess asia and her lover Javuto are sent to death by Asia's brother. But Asa, who is a vampire put a curse on her brother's descendants and vows to get for revenge.
Two centuries later, 1830, Dr. Choma and his assitant, Andre Gorobec travel through Moldavia. They are travelling by coach and a coach wheel breaks. So as it may be expected they have to continue on foot in the direction of a howling voice. Eventually they discover the tomb of Asa. ... Read More

I've only seen a handful of Mario Bava's films, but the ones I've seen I've liked very much (Kill Baby Kill, Twitch of the Death Nerve, Baron Blood, Lisa and the Devil, Blood and Black Lace), but this one is definitely my favorite. It's a sinisterly gorgeous film, shot in shimmering black and white. Bava's use of light and shadow is really astonishing at times, reminiscent of Dreyer's Vampyr and Harvey's Carnival of Souls (two great horror films in their own right). Even though the dialogue is a little ... Read More
