Black Sabbath

(1963) dir Mario Bava w/Michèle Mercier, Lidia Alfonsi, Boris Karloff, Mark Damon [92min; DCP]
Bava’s follow-up to Black Sunday offers three distinctly macabre horrors: a proto-giallo about a woman threatened by a series of telephone calls; a Gothic tale of a curse that infects the inhabitants of a house in 19th century Russia; and the story of a Victorian-era nurse whose fate is sealed when she steals a ring from a corpse. – Quad Cinema
