Bava’s ghost story is replete with kinky sex, fiery passions, and coldblooded murder.
This set is another rewarding trek into less-traveled genre terrain from Arrow Video.
Review: Danza Macabra Volume One: The Italian Gothic Collection on Severin Films Blu-ray
Severin cherry-picks four enjoyably atmospheric films in the Italian gothic mode.
Even by the standards of the poliziotteschi, these films are truly gritty and wild.
Arrow’s wonderfully curated box set is the perfect prescription for anyone looking to expand their giallo horizons.
Arrow’s box set conducts a gratifying investigation into a lesser-known Italian genre that’s still underrepresented on Blu-ray.
Grab your magician’s cape and pepperbox pistol, Arrow’s box set just rode into town.
No fan or cinephile’s knowledge of the giallo would be complete without seeing Luciano Ercoli’s film.
The Horrible Dr. Hichcock gets a reasonably good-looking, if barebones, Blu-ray release from Olive Films.
Arrow provides monthly evidence that there’s an entire sector of European cinematic production that’s gone long underappreciated.
The film gallops onto Blu-ray looking better than ever, but without so much as a single extra for outrider, from Image Entertainment.
At the risk of going out on a limb, let me suggest that Torso is much more than simply hackwork.
The infamous grindhouser Torso pales next to director Sergio Martino’s more inventive sleaze-thrillers.
Though not without voyeuristic subtext and sleazy kicks, Torso makes for a pretty anemic bloodfest.
Ercoli walks in high heels. Buy this DVD if that’s your sort of thing.
The Whip and the Body is at once frightening and hysterical, a gothic rendition of a D.H. Lawrence tale.
