Black Sunday
A vengeful witch and her fiendish servant return from the grave and begin a bloody campaign to possess the body of the witch's beautiful look-alike descendant. Only the girl's brother and a handsome doctor stand in her way.
Black Sunday (1960), aka La maschera del demonio, aka The Mask of Satan, original Italian version, remastered, directed by Mario Bava, encoded in 10 bit HEVC with AAC sound, including original theatrical Italian stereo, English stereo dub, commentary track, and English subtitles.
IMDb : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054067/
Video encoded in two-pass 7 500 kbps x265 10bit with the veryslow preset for archive quality image.
English subtitles (for Italian audio, for English audio, and SDH for English audio) OCRed, proofed and corrected.
Note : Back to some classics, Mario Bava's gothic horror masterpiece in its original Italian version, before AIP got a hold of it and recut, dubbed and rescored it. I think this is the superior version, a more mature, atmospheric piece. Barbara Steele's career as the original scream queen, grand lady of gothic horror, basically started here, and she does a great job in the dual roles as Asa Vajda, the undead witch/vampire and Katia, her innocent descendent. There's plenty of frantic carriage rides in dark forests, brooding castles, dark crypts, and wary villagers, as there should be. A landmark film, starting the whole Italian gothic horror wave of the 60s.
This remaster looks fine, although it's not all that clean, especially in the beginning, but the image quality is good, showing off the gorgeous high-contrast black and white cinematography. Bava was also the DP on this, and is no less of a master of that craft than he is as a director. Commentary track is quite informative, if a little dry.
