Currently playing and continuing until next Sunday, July 3rd at the Seoul Cinematheque is a ten film retrospective of the Italian horror director Mario Bava, a cult favorite of many, including Quentin Tarantino (if you ever wondered why one of the types of heroin in PULP FICTION is called bava, now you know). All of the films are being shown either with English dubbed dialogue track (not unusual with Italian films, which are mostly post-synched anyways) or English subtitles. It covers the time period from 1960 to 1974 and includes many of Bava’s more acclaimed work. I’m unfamiliar with Bava (who also worked as a cinematographer on many films) and excited to finally see some of his work, especially in a theatrical setting.

The line-up is as follows:

BLACK SUNDAY (1960)

BLACK SABBATH (1963)

THE EVIL EYE (aka THE GIRL WHO KNEW TOO MUCH) (1963)

KILL, BABY … KILL (1966)

FIVE DOLLS FOR AN AUGUST MOON (aka ISLAND OF TERROR) (1970)

ROY COLT AND WINCHESTER JACK (1970)

A BAY OF BLOOD (TWITCH OF THE DEATH NERVE) (1971)

BARON BLOOD (1972)

FOUR TIMES THAT NIGHT (1972)

LISA AND THE DEVIL (1974)
