Mario Bava( 31 July 1914 – 27 April 1980) was an Italian cinematographer, director, special effects artist and screenwriter, frequently referred to as the" Master of Italian Horror" and the" Master of the Macabre".
His low- budget genre films, known for their distinctive visual flair and technical ingenuity, feature recurring themes and imagery concerning the conflict between illusion and reality, and the destructive capacity of human nature.
Born to sculptor, cinematographer and special effects pioneer Eugenio Bava, the younger Bava followed his father into the film industry, and eventually earned a reputation as one of Italy's foremost cameramen, lighting and providing the special effects for such films as" Hercules"( 1958) and its sequel" Hercules Unchained"( 1959)( each were lampooned on" Mystery Science Theater 3000").
During the late 1950s, his eventual career trajectory as a director began when he was relied upon to complete projects begun by or credited to his colleague Riccardo Freda and other filmmakers, including" I Vampiri"( 1957)( the first Italian horror film of the sound era)," The Day the Sky Exploded"( 1958)( the first Italian science fiction film)," Caltiki – The Immortal Monster"( 1959) and" The Giant of Marathon"( 1959).
Although most of Bava's films as director failed to achieve major commercial success upon release, many of them would eventually find acclaim as cult classics, with their content and production values being favourably compared to the works of Alfred Hitchcock.
Several of them have been noted for their revolutionary impact on their respective genres:" Black Sunday"( 1960), his official directorial debut, was the forerunner of the Italian gothic horror film cycle;" The Girl Who Knew Too Much"( 1963) is considered to be the first giallo film;" Kill, Baby, Kill"( 1966) heavily influenced the iconography of modern J-Horror;" Roy Colt& Winchester Jack"( 1970) is regarded as one of the earliest self- parodying Spaghetti Westerns;" Four Times That Night"( 1971) was an early Italian sex comedy; and" A Bay of Blood"( 1971) was a precursor to slasher films.
His other notable films include" Hercules in the Haunted World"( 1961)," Erik the Conqueror"( 1961)," Black Sabbath"( 1963)," The Whip and the Body"( 1963)," Blood and Black Lace"( 1964)," Planet of the Vampires"( 1965)," Knives of the Avenger"( 1966),( 1968)," Hatchet for the Honeymoon"( 1970)," Five Dolls for an August Moon"( 1970)," Baron Blood"( 1972)," Lisa and the Devil"( 1974)," Rabid Dogs"( 1974) and" Shock"( 1977).
Despite his reputation as a talented artist during his lifetime, Bava's shy, self- deprecating demeanour prevented him from taking advantage of opportunities that would have furthered his international standing within the film industry, and he turned down multiple opportunities to work in Hollywood.
Among the filmmakers Bava and his work have influenced include Dario Argento, Lucio Fulci, Federico Fellini, John Carpenter, Nicolas Winding Refn, Martin Scorsese, Tim Burton, Joe Dante, John Landis, Francis Ford Coppola, Roger Corman, Edgar Wright, Jennifer Kent and Quentin Tarantino.
His son and frequent assistant director, Lamberto Bava, later became a noted fantasy and horror film director in his own right.
A Bay of Blood( Italian:" Ecologia del delitto", lit.
" Ecology of Crime", later released as" Reazione a catena"[ lit." Chain Reaction"]), also known as Carnage, Twitch of the Death Nerve and Blood Bath, is a 1971 Italian giallo film directed by Mario Bava.
Bava co-wrote the screenplay with Giuseppe Zaccariello, Filippo Ottoni, and Sergio Canevari, with story credit given to Dardano Sacchetti and Franco Barberi.
The film stars Claudine Auger, Luigi Pistilli and Laura Betti. Carlo Rambaldi created the gruesome special make- up effects.
The story details a string of mysterious murders that occur around the titular bay.
Widely considered Bava's most violent film, its emphasis on graphically bloody murder set pieces was hugely influential on the slasher film subgenre that would follow a decade later.
In 2005, the magazine" Total Film" named" A Bay of Blood" one of the 50 greatest horror films of all time.
Michał Waszyński( 29 September 1904 – 20 February 1965) was first a film director in Poland, then in Italy, and later( as Michael Waszynski) a producer of the major American films, mainly in Spain.
Known for his elegance and impeccable manners, he was, by the people who knew him, known as" the prince".
Waszyński was born as Mosze Waks into a Polish Jewish family as Michał Waks in 1904 in Kowel, a small town in Volhynia( now in Ukraine), which at the time was part of Imperial Russia.
As Germany occupied this part of Europe during World War I, he moved first to Warsaw and later to Berlin.
As a young man he worked as an assistant director of the legendary German director F.W. Murnau.
Upon his return to Poland he changed his name to Michał Waszyński and converted to Catholicism.
In the 1930s Waszyński became the most prolific film director in Poland, directing 37 of the 147 films made in Poland in that decade, nearly one out of four.
Along with the popular films in Polish directed to a wide local audience, he directed an important film in Yiddish" The Dybbuk", today a monument of the rich cultural life of East European Jewry before the Holocaust.
At the beginning of World War II Waszyński escaped from Warsaw, which was being bombed by German planes, to Białystok.
That city was taken in mid-September 1939 by the Germans, but within weeks, as a result of the Molotov- Ribbentrop pact, the city was given to the Soviet Union and occupied by its army.
Waszyński began a new career as a theater director, first in Białystok and later in Moscow.
In the summer of 1941, after Germany invaded the Soviet Union, Waszyński joined the newly formed Polish Army of general Władysław Anders( loyal to the Polish government in Exile in London) and subsequently was relocated to Persia( Iran), and later as a soldier of the 2nd Corps of the Polish Army to Egypt and Italy.
As a member of the army film unit, he filmed the Battle of Monte Cassino, where the Polish Army suffered great losses, but helped to win the day.
After World War II, he stayed in Italy, where he directed a Polish- language feature film about the Battle of Monte Cassino, and then three Italian films.
Later in his career, Waszyński worked as a producer for the major American studios in Italy and( primarily) Spain, credited as" Michael Waszynski".
His credits include" The Quiet American"( 1958)( associate producer)," El Cid"( 1961), and" The Fall of the Roman Empire( film)"( 1964)( executive producer and associate producer).
He died of a heart attack on 20 February 1965 in Madrid, and was buried in a ceremonious Catholic funeral in Rome.
