Mario Bava
Regie·31. Juli 1914·† 27. April 1980 — 65 Jahre·Sanremo, Liguria, Italy
Mario Bava war ein italienischer Filmemacher, der als Regisseur, Kameramann, Spezialeffektkünstler und Drehbuchautor tätig war. Seine Low-Budget-Genrefilme, bekannt für ihren unverwechselbaren visuellen Stil und ihre stilvolle technische Raffinesse, weisen wiederkehrende Themen und Bilder auf, die den Konflikt zwischen Illusion und Realität sowie die zerstörerische Kraft der menschlichen Natur thematisieren. Er gilt weithin als Pionier des italienischen Genrekinos und einer der einflussreichsten Auteurs des Horrorfilms und wird im Volksmund als „Meister des italienischen Horrors“ und „Meister des Makabren“ bezeichnet.
