But it’s you who left this sadness in my heart
The Lure (2015) dir. Agnieszka Smoczyńska
All is finished. Oh, dear death, come swiftly, come silently.
Ecologia del delitto (1971) // dir. Mario Bava
Planet of the Vampires (Italy, 1965) dir. by Mario Bava
Before the special effects boom, Mario Bava made a sci-fi with effects in-camera, legit sick lighting and mod-as-hell costume design. The story is familiar to anyone who’s seen Alien as that film clearly lifted some plot points… derelict spacecraft transmitting a distress signal on dark rocky planet, our crew lands and bad things happen. There’s even a giant-skulled navigator skeleton. While nowhere near as scary, and more zombie than vampire, still a good moody Italian classic from the 60s.
