Synopsis by Mark Deming

While he never had the kind of breakthrough international hit that made him a familiar name with mainstream filmgoers, Mario Bava's elegant and visually striking terror films (which he often photographed as well as directed) earned him a reputation among horror film aficionados as one of the greatest talents in the genre; Martin Scorsese, Tim Burton, and Quentin Tarantino are among the many filmmakers who've cited Bava as an influence. Mario Bava: Maestro of the Macabre is a documentary that examines Bava's career, as well as the life of the man behind the camera.
