In a haunting reimagining of Mario Bava’s legendary 1960 gothic horror, Black Sunday (2025) makes its long-awaited return with a chilling first teaser trailer released by Paramount Pictures. This modern adaptation pays homage to the original’s atmospheric dread and iconic imagery while introducing a terrifying new vision for today’s audiences.
Directed by Guillermo del Toro and starring Anya Taylor-Joy in a dual role as Princess Asa Vajda and Katia, the film dives deep into the cursed legacy of a 17th-century witch executed in brutal fashion—only to rise again centuries later in a wave of unholy vengeance.
The teaser opens with stark black-and-white flashes of the infamous iron mask being nailed shut, before shifting to saturated reds and shadows—hinting at a stylish yet horrifying blend of old and new. The Gothic castles, candle-lit corridors, and creeping fog are all here, now enhanced with modern cinematography and a haunting score by composer Benjamin Wallfisch.
In a voiceover, Taylor-Joy whispers: “They buried her in silence. But she never stopped screaming.” The trailer ends with a jolt—Asa’s blood-soaked eyes opening in the darkness.
Slated for an October 31, 2025 release, Black Sunday promises to revive one of the greatest Italian horror masterpieces with a visually stunning and terrifying new chapter.
Stay tuned—evil is re𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 this Halloween.
