Review of Black Sabbath (1963) by Jesus M — 26 Feb 2010
A very good three-part Italian horror film from American International Pictures. It scared the hell out of me when I was a kid; it doesn't hold up as well now but is still a nicely done movie.
"The Telephone" part was real Alfred-Hitchkock-ish and interesting. The Russian vampire segment with Boris Karloff was pretty good and fun to watch. Finally, the segment called "The Drop of Water" set in Victorian England. When I first saw it I had nightmares and had to leave my lights on. It was real creepy and built up tension very well with sounds and eerie events. I'm sure if I watched it now, the corpse-ghost would be real dated, but it would still be a scary story.
Anyway, if one of the greatest bands of all time took their name from the title, it has to be pretty damn good.
