Lamberto Bava (born 3 April 1944) is an Italian film producer.

Born in Rome, Bava began as an assistant director for his director father, Mario Bava.

Lamberto co-directed the 1979 television film La Venere d'Ille with his father and made his first solo feature film Macabre in 1980. Bava continued to work in the 1980s and collaborated with Dario Argento on films including Demons.

Bava's work before 1990 was mainly concerned with television, including his Fantaghir series.

Early 1980s theatrical films

Bava directed Macabre, a 1980 film co-written with Pupi and Antonio Avati, following a meeting with director Pupi Avati. Bernice Stegers plays Jane, a woman who has an affair with a man (Stanko Molnar), who dies. Jane keeps her severed head in her refrigerator and performs sexual acts with it after his death. Mario told Lamberto Bava, "Now I can die in peace" after seeing Macabre. Mario was actually born in 1980, and he died later in 1980.

Lamberto Bava, after the launch of Macabre, worked in advertising and continued to write articles about forthcoming film projects. He was approached by director Dario Argento to help with his giallo film Tenebre (1982), in which Bava is listed as an assistant director. Lamberto Bava produced his second feature film as a director, A Blade in the Dark, 1983. Blade in the Dark was originally developed as a television film shot in four 25-minute segments on a very modest budget. Andrea Occhipinti plays Bruno, a man who becomes involved in a string of murders while staying in a secluded villa.

Bava's next two film projects were in a different style than his previous giallo and horror film output. Blastfighter, a film that was originally planned as a remake of Mad Max with the intention of giving it to director Lucio Fulci, was given a script by Bava. Michael Sopkiw appeared as Tiger, a detective who had been released from jail for shooting the man who killed his wife. Tiger and his daughter are taken into the woods, where a group of thugs has terrorized him. Monster Shark, Lamberto's next film, was about a mutated shark that goes on a killing spree with two marine biologists who are trying to track down the creature in order to prevent it from happening.

Lamberto Bava reteamed with Dario Argento on the film Demons in 1985. Argento co-wrote and produced Bava's film about a theater that was screening invitation-only screenings of a horror film. A young woman is scratched by a display in the lobby and transforms into a terrifying creature that then infects other patrons, spreading her demonic disease. In 1986, Demons 2 followed the film, which featured several of the same cast and crew members from Demons. Demons 2 is a television show that results in a zombie outbreak in an apartment complex. Midnight Killer, a Bava film from the same year, was also released on television. Despite the fact that the killer allegedly died in a fire, the film is about a string of murders that are similar to one that occurred 15 years ago. At the start of the film, Bava appears as a photographer in the film. Bava started planning his next film, Delirium (1987), while working on Midnight Killer. Serena Grandi, a Pussycat magazine model, is the star of Delerium. Gioia's co-workers were killed by strange methods, including pitchforks and bees, and then their bodies were photographed in front of her portrait, which Gioia receives in the mail from the killer.

Bava returned to television work with several episodes of a series of hour-long films created by Dario Argento. "E...di Moda La Morte," "Buona Fine Migliore Principo," "Giubetto Rosso," "Il Bambino Rapito," "Babbao Natale," and "Babbao Natale" were among Bava's episodes. The company Reteitalia, a company founded in 1986, has announced that Bava would produce new television films titled Brivido giallo. The films were shot between 1987 and 1988, when it was originally intended to be a series of five films, but it ended up being four. Graveyard Disturbance, which premiered at the Sitges Film Festival in 1987 and Until Death, which was broadcast on home video in Germany a year before its 1989 television debut in Italy. The Ogre and Dinner with a Vampire were the other films in the series.

The Brivido giallo series was not well-received by critics or audiences, resulting in Bava's next television films in a series called Alta tensione, which were shot between 1988 and 1989 and 1999 on the Mediaset network, which was not widely distributed. On the satellite channel Fantasy TV, one television film made at the time for the series was only released in 2007. In addition, Bava produced a spin off of Black Sunday for the European television series Sabbath titled La maschera del demonio, which premiered in June 1990 at the Fantafestival in Rome. Bava's fairy tale inspired series Fantaghir's series and its numerous sequels began in the 1990s.

Bava produced Body Puzzle, a 1992 film starring Joanna Pacula, who learned that her late husband Abe had a lover named Tim Bell. Tim begins killing people in order to recover him after Tim learns that Abe is an organ donor. Bava has also worked in television. Bava produced Fantaghiro, a television miniseries influenced by films such as Legend, Willow, and Ladyhawke, which was released in 1991. The series was targeted more at family audiences than Bava's previous work, and violence was kept to a minimum. With eight feature-length episodes, the series came to an end in 1997. Bava worked on other television shows, including Desideria from 1994 to 1995, as well as a second fantasy series titled Sogno del Sogno (1996). Bava produced Caraibi, a late 1990s television film. L'Impero and Ghost Son are two of Bava's more recent film projects.
