Part of the Macabre Visions: The Films of Mario Bava Boxset
Black Sunday was
such a huge hit that a follow-up was swiftly demanded, and horror maestro Mario
Bava duly devised this three-part horror anthology blending modern and period
stories.
In the giallo-style
The Telephone, a woman is terrorised by her former pimp after his escape from
prison, and tries to escape him with the help of her lesbian lover, who has a
dark secret of her own.
In the Victorian-era
The Drop of Water, a nurse steals a ring from the corpse of a dead
spiritualist, which naturally tries to get it back.
But it’s the
19th-century Russian story The Wurdalak that comes closest to Bava’s earlier
classic, with the great Boris Karloff as a much-loved paterfamilias who might
not be entirely what he seems.
Bava’s direction is
as stylish as ever, and Black Sabbath is almost a compendium of his favourite
themes.
