In 1630, as a woman is executed for being a witch, she places a curse on those who condemned her. 200 years later, she returns from her grave and begins a bloody campaign to possess the body of her beautiful look-alike descendant. Now, only the girl’s brother and a handsome doctor stand in her way.

Mario Bava’s debut feature is one of the defining works in the gothic canon, and almost single-handedly inaugurated the golden age of Italian horror. A tale of witchcraft and demonic resurrection shot in luminous black-and-white, Black Sunday made an icon of its star: scream queen Barbara Steele.
