The DVD from Image presents the original Italian cut of "Black Sabbath", which has never been available in the U.S. before, an anthology (a sub-genre that deserves to be revived) that proves that genuine scares do not diminish with age.
"Black Sabbath" is presented in an anamorphic widescreen transfer that is letterboxed at the original aspect ratio of 1.78:1.
The film is presented with the original Italian soundtrack, and boasts easy-to-read yellow subtitles, which rest at the bottom of the letterboxed frame.

While Black Sabbath did not release their first ground-breaking album until 1970, the origins of the group can be traced back to the early 1960s Birmingham beat scene with their musical roots coming directly from jazz, R&B and blues along with the psychedelic influences that followed later in the decade.
Black Sabbath had a request from a group of "Satanists" who wanted them to perform at their annual ceremony held at Stonehenge.

 THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- BLACK SABBATH
I’ve always looked upon BLACK SABBATH ($25) as a Boris Karloff movie, because of the horror icon’s hosting duties on the film, as well as his appearance in the film’s third and final segment.
The Italian version of BLACK SABBATH opens with The Telephone, which tells the story of a beautiful young woman named Rosy (Michèle Mercier), who returns home to her apartment after an evening on the town.
Blacks are fairly accurate and this nearly forty-year-old film manages a respectable level of shadow detail, which gives the image good depth.

 Blogcritics.org: Weekly Artist Overview: Black Sabbath
Black Sabbath had once earned the nearly universal scorn of the rock critic establishment for their oppressively heavy, simplistic riffs, the bad rhymes of their lyrics, their melodrama, their lumbering, plodding tempos, their sludgy sound and their Christian/Satanic/Druggy/Magical iconography.
Black Sabbath took this approach a step further, slowing down the tempos, stripping away the psychedelia, increasing the volume even more, playing up their mystical and frightening lyrics, and shining a spotlight on Ozzy Osbourne's bluesy wail.
Black Sabbath decided their next release would be a concert recording, containing classics from both the Osbourne and Dio eras, all sung by Dio.

Yes, this is the film that Ozzy Osbourne and his rock star friends took the name for their band from.
There are two versions of the film available, the Italian one and the American A.I.P. one, which swaps the order of the stories around to put the powerful Karloff episode at the end, and makes "The Telephone" more supernatural in tone.

This debut album starts with the evil sounds of "Black Sabbath" and "The Wizard." It then carries on into the graceful and bluesy sounds of Iommi's guitar in "Warning." Depending on which version of this album you get, it may contain "Wicked World" or "Evil Woman" or both.
A better example of Sabbath's new and improved song-writing style is provided by their next album however.
If you are looking for a Black Sabbath live album featuring Ozzy, it is called "Live at Last." Unfortunately, the sound quality of this album is very poor.

 Black Sabbath
After all, the horror anthology film seems to have been primarily a delayed offshoot of the horror anthology comic book, which despite periodic revival attempts has been pretty much extinct since the rise of the Comics Code Authority killed off the EC line back in the mid-1950’s.
The main strength of the film, though, is Bava himself, who directs Black Sabbath with a meticulousness that his emphasis on visual style makes easy to miss.
Black Sabbath may look loose and dreamy, but examine it closely, and you’ll see that Bava put a tremendous amount of work into giving it that appearance.

 Amazon.com: Black Sabbath (1964) : Video   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
One of the best Italian horror films ever made, director Mario Bava's 1963 movie BLACK SABBATH (Italian title: I TRE VOLTI DELLA PAURA) is actually a delicious trilogy of stories, each different in timbre and texture, but each a masterful atmospheric study in unmitigated fear.
Though not a totally un-watchable film in AIP's butchered format, it is simply not the masterpiece that Bava's original is. With that in mind, it is recommended that, if at all possible, viewers avoid the AIP version altogether and watch only the original Italian version.
Not only is this rendition of "Black Sabbath" fascinating from a film buff point of view, but it's a fine print of one of Mario Bava's best films.
