Colors are absolutely BAVAesque!


Corman definitely channeled all of the delirious color templates and palettes used by Mario Bava all throughout this grand film, and he more than succeeded! The film is absolutely gorgeous to behold!

Could not agree more. In most cases, if color is the star of your film you're in trouble, but here it's just used so well and integrated so well that it makes this one truly special.

I just watched this and Mario Bava's Black Sunday for the first time back to back. Though Black Sunday is the only Bava film I have seen and is in Black and White, I immediately thought the visuals still looked similar and felt that both films would make a great double feature.
