YMMV / Black Sunday (1960)

Go To

  • Complete Monster: Princess Asa Vadja is a devil-worshipping vampiric witch who terrorized ancient Moldavia. For her crimes, her brother was forced to sentence her to death, for which she vowed to avenge herself on her own family. 200 years later, Asa is resurrected and begins her work killing the Vadja household and their servants one-by-one. All of this is part of her plan to absorb her descendant Katia's youth so she can torment the Earth once more. When Dr. Andre Gorobec arrives to save Katia, Asa attempts to trick him into killing her himself.
  • Moral Event Horizon: Asa Vadja made it impossible to discern one particular moment as her history included numerous human sacrifices and acts of cannibalism. Viewers get to experience what she is capable of when she tries to trick The Hero into killing his own Love Interest, who looks exactly like her.
  • Narm: The delivery of "DEATH! I've just seen DEATH!" in one of the trailers. In the film, it's actually delivered in a more subdued way.
  • Nightmare Fuel: Asa's eyes bubbling back up into her empty eye sockets as she resurrects. Quite unsettling.
