Greatest Mario Bava films (August 2013)
This is a list of the greatest Mario Bava films. Bava was a fantastic directer. His main area of specialty was horror. He made films in other genres, but horror was his main area. His films range from gothic horror to giallo to sci fi to proto slasher. He all but invented the giallo film with films such as The girl who knew too much and Blood and Black Lace. His trademark was lurid color. He sometimes used colored gels and lenses. His film Planet of the Vampires is said to have inspired Alien. Bay of Blood was said to have inspired Friday the 13th. His giallo films inspired Argento who then went on to inspire a plethora of others. Bava's films are works of arts. The violence in them can be extreme, but even that is done in away that conveys artistic brilliance.
