| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Black Sabbath |
|---|
BLACK SABBATH aka THE THREE FACES OF FEAR is the reunion of three horror stories of about 30 minutes long. The movie was shot in 1963 by the italian director Mario Bava. The stories have been vaguely adapted from novelettes by Tchékhov, Léon Tolstoy and Guy de Maupassant. The most known segment - The Wurdulak - is a vampire story featuring Boris Karloff as an old man returning home after a five days battle against the local Dracula. This film is one of the masterpieces of Mario Bava who was the italian king of B movies.
