American Cinematographer - December 1999 - 12

Afew years ago, while perusing the dusty shelves

Jerry's Video Rerun, a cramped Hollywood
strip-mall haunt that boasts a truly impressive
collection of horror, fantasy and sci-fi films, I came
across the 1960 chiller Black Sunday, directed and
photographed by Mario Bava. Unable to resist either
my fondness for Italian horror movies or the box's lurid
tagline ("The Undead Demons of Hell Terrorize the
World in an Orgy of Stark Horror!"), I forked out the
rental fee and rushed home to my sofa.
I was not disappointed: Black Sunday had it all,
including a classic plot (a witch is executed by an
angry mob, only to return 100 years later with her vampire servant to do Satan's
bidding), an extravagantly evil ambience (complete with creepy music and rolling
banks of fog) and a bewitching lead actress (raven-haired icon Barbara Steele, in her
first starring role). Having spent many a childhood Saturday glued to TV shows like
Night Gallery and Creature Double Feature, I found myself in horror-movie heaven.
Apparently, I'm not alone in my appreciation of Black Sunday. Director Tim
Burton says he first saw the picture at a weekend film festival, where the late hour
and his lack of sleep lent the images an extra dose of demonic power. The filmmaker
recalled that experience while prepping Sleepy Hollow (see interview on page 54),
and asked rising cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki, ASC, AMC ("Galloping Ghost,"
page 38), to help him give modern audiences a taste of good old-fashioned terror.
Not to be outdone, expert cameraman Janusz Kaminski, ASC is also deter¬
mined to raise some gooseflesh with his directorial debut, Lost Souls ("The Devil
Made Flesh," page 74). This supernatural tale of Satanic possession, shot by Mauro
Fiore, benefits from an eerie psychological undercurrent designed to make audiences
squirm in their seats.
Equally fantastic, but far less frightening, is the new James Bond epic The
World Is Not Enough ("Paging 007," page 60), directed by Michael Apted and
photographed by Adrian Biddle, BSC. In tackling their first Bond movie, the filmmak¬
ers sought to streamline the superagent for a new millennium, while staying true to
at

the franchise's roots.
The

English spirit of adventure is also evident in Duncan Petrie's article "A Brief
History of British Cinematography" (page 86), which reviews key U.K cameramen and
their contributions to world cinema.
