Wow. I love these moments. Moments when you realize you've been over looking an enormous talent and its time to play catch up. Such is the case with me and Mr Bava. Its even more interesting because im a big fan of Lucio Fulci & Dario Argento, who are both obviously very influenced by the films of Bava. After passing this title up a million times as a kid I finally sat down and watched it last night. Its hard to make sci-fi spooky but boy does Bava accomplish just that. From the zombie like "Vampires", to the colors, the smoke, to the erie recorded voices of long dead alien giants, this flick lays it on thick. The plot would go on to be rehashed by many future films(roughly) such as "Alien" & "Creature" . Beautiful atmosphere and sets. Smashing stuff! This Bava fellow is really good.
