Though he would forever be hailed as The King Of Italian Horror, director Mario Bava brought his stunning visual style to virtually every genre of international cinema. In these eight movies from the latter half of his legendary career, Il Maestro turned his extraordinary eye to extreme gothic horror, mod murder mystery, spaghetti western satire, a sex comedy inspired by Rashomon, the gore shocker that single-handedly created the 'body-count' craze, and two distinctly different versions of his surreal macabre classic. Each disc has been transferred from original European vault elements to complete the definitive celebration of one of the most influential filmmakers of all time.

Anchor Bay's Bava Collections have been in the works for over two years. I spoke with the producer of extras for the company back when they first acquired the collection. The initial plan was to turn the discs into lavish special editions. The disc producer had even lined up the reclusive Barbara Steele for interviews. Those ideas were soon dropped, even before Anchor Bay was purchased by Starz Media. While the Special Edition idea was still on, AB picked up distribution rights for the non-Leone Bava epic Erik the Conqueror. But the company drew the line at importing the much-desired Caltiki, The Immortal Monster because it was in B&W.
Improved transfers for some of the titles makes the Anchor Bay Volume 2 set more than a simple reissue. Several of the Volume 2 discs also feature new commentaries by Tim Lucas, turning them into a virtual 'companion publication' for his just-released book.

Long after the global successes of Mask of Satan and Three Faces of Fear, Bava returns to his gothic roots – albeit with a modern day Technicolor twist – in this atmospheric thriller that pays tribute to the horror classics of the ’30s and ’40s while delivering the black humor and grisly shocks of the grindhouse ’70s. Joseph Cotten (The Abominable Dr. Phibes), Elke Sommer (A Shot in the Dark) and Massimo Girotti star in one of the most visually haunting films of Bava’s later career, now presented in its uncut “European Version,” featuring footage not seen in the original American release.

What begins as a simple giallo about greed and murder at a secluded bayside estate explodes into an odyssey of carnage that would single-handedly trigger the ‘body count’ genre of films like the Friday the 13th series. Claudine Auger (Thunderball), Luigi Pistilli (The Good, The Bad & The Ugly) and Laura Betti (Hatchet for the Honeymoon) star – along with nearly a dozen landmark gore effects – in Bava’s epic of cruelty that remains as reviled as it is acclaimed. Best known under its alternate title Twitch of the Death Nerve.

Five Dolls for an August Moon:
Bava’s ultra-mod 1970 murder mystery remains one of the most critically divisive and little-seen films of his career. Yet despite being a last-minute work-for-hire project, Bava imbues the derivative script with a sly streak of black humor and a steady stream of eye-popping visuals, including a va-va-voom performance by giallo goddess Edwige Fenech. Never released theatrically in America, it has since become a favorite of Bava fans worldwide. William Berger (Keoma), Ira von Fürstenberg (The Fifth Cord) and Ely Galleani (Emanuelle and the White Slave Trade) also star in this stylishly sexy whodunit, now presented in both its original Italian language and English dubbed versions.
Four Times That Night:
For his sole foray into the sex comedy genre, Bava delivers a swinging orgy of mod design, leering humor and late ’60s erotica. American leading man Bret Halsey (Return of the Fly) and former Miss Italy Daniela Giordano star in this Rashomon-inspired tale of a playboy and a virgin’s first date that may or may not have included rape, nymphomania, lesbianism, and groovy inflatable furniture. Long unavailable to Bava fans in America, Four Times That Night is now presented in its original Italian language version.

Previously available as a separate DVD, Kidnapped (aka Rabid Dogs) has a history equal in drama and scope to its explosive narrative. The harrowing story of a botched robbery by three criminals and the aftermath – taking three hostages during their desperate getaway – Kidnapped was never finished due to a dispute with the estate of the film’s financier who died during production. Anchor Bay’s presentation of Rabid Dogs includes both Bava’s original film – now with newly created opening and end credit sequences – as well as the version known as Kidnapped featuring footage shot by producer Alfredo Leone and Mario’s son and longtime assistant Lamberto Bava.

Following the international success of Baron Blood, Bava was given carte blanche to make the film he’d envisioned his entire career. Elke Sommer, Telly Savalas (TV’s “Kojak”), Sylva Koscina and Aida Valli (The Third Man) star in this surreal tale that unfolds as both waking dream and elliptical nightmare, a lush and disturbing meditation on love, death, identity and the machinations of evil. Despite a rave premiere at the 1973 Cannes Film Festival, Bava’s beloved project would remain unsold and unseen until crudely re-edited years later into a crass grindhouse hit. Now recognized as Il Maestro’s final masterpiece, Lisa and the Devil has been fully restored and remastered from the original camera negative recently discovered in a Rome lab vault. Anchor Bay proudly presents both the original director’s cut of Lisa and the Devil, as well as the alternate version, released as House of Exorcism.

In perhaps the most atypical film of his career, Bava combines elements of The Good, The Bad & The Ugly and Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid for one of the first tongue-in-cheek comedies of the ‘Spaghetti Western’ genre. Brett Halsey (Four Times That Night), Charles Southwood (Fistful of Lead) and Marilù Tolo (Django, Kill) star in a tale of two good-natured outlaws, one wily Native American prostitute, and a fortune in gold that triggers the greed of ruthless gunmen, dyspeptic clergymen, and even a Sergio Leone look-alike. Teodoro Corrà (Five Dolls for an August Moon) co-stars in this little-seen charmer blending rousing action and bawdy humor with inventive visuals that remain undeniably Bava.

The improved audio and video quality and the addition of a few exclusive extra features makes The Mario Bava Collection Volume Two worth the double dip for owners of the Image releases and a great purchase for those who don't already own the films in this set. While this set doesn't represent the best films that Bava worked on it is a nice selection that spans multiple genres and which shows us how wide ranging the films in Bava's library can be. Highly recommended.
