Only the girl's brother and a handsome doctor stand in her way. Barbara Steele stars in Mario Bava's directorial debut. Black Sunday was considered unusually gruesome, and was banned in the UK until 1968 because of its violence. In the US, some of the gore was censored in-house by distributor American International Pictures before its theatrical release.
