Terrore nello spazio (Planet of the Vampires)

0 upcoming performances in New York

At the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), Mario Bava’s 1965 science fiction horror film *Terrore nello spazio (Planet of the Vampires)* returns to the screen within the museum’s program of classic and contemporary cinema. Two crews answer a distress signal and descend onto a hostile planet where fear, possession, and mistrust spread faster than any contagion. In New York, the film’s afterlife has been largely institutional, sustained by revival venues and museum repertory rather than premiere mythology. Its colored fogs and stark sets show how Italian genre cinema could make mood do the work of budget.
