Quick Hit

Black Sunday looks like it was lit inside a coffin. Bava turns black-and-white gothic into pure seduction and punishment.

Full Take

The movie’s plot is simple; the visual command is the real story. Barbara Steele’s face, the fog, the stone, the cursed atmosphere—Bava squeezes every inch of style until it starts feeling supernatural. A foundational gothic flex. ELITE.
