On this episode, where celluloid gets under your skin and the strange becomes sublime. I'm joined by my friend Davis, who is as obsessed with Italian film copyright as I am.
We’re diving deep into the eerie, atmospheric catalogue of Mario Bava Italy’s master of camera movement, projectors, and stylish dread. We chat about his final film: Shock (1977). Released in the twilight of his career and co-directed with his son Lamberto Bava, Shock is a haunting fusion of psychological horror and supernatural terror, with a side of domestic decay and one seriously creepy kid.
Was it a fitting farewell from a director who basically invented half the visual language of horror as we know it? Or a quietly unsettling oddity that still doesn’t get the respect it deserves?
We’ve got thoughts. We’ve got chills. We’ve got Davis!
