Black Sunday. 1960.
A vengeful witch and her lover return from the grave and seeks revenge on the descendants who killed them.
Although Mario Bava had co-directed a lot and was initially uncredited this was his first main feature film and what a great start to career in giving us classic memorable films. Barbara Steele plays the witch who's grave is disturbed along with her servant Arturo Dominici who want revenge and to possess the bodies of the descendants.
Right from the start to finish this has a dark Gothic atmosphere, great cinematography, and great set designs you wouldn't expect nothing else from a Bava movie, Steele and Bava never had a great time making this film yet she is able to pull it off with her great acting skills. This was a film I never appreciated but over time and more watches it is a firm favourite.
