Description: Classic Italian horror that started the Gothic boom! Introducing Radiance Film's Limited Edition Blu-ray for I vampiri, a 1957 Italian thriller from Riccardo Freda (The Horrible Dr. Hichcock). A mad scientist captures young women in Paris and drains them of their blood in service of an evil Duchess. Also known as Lust of the Vampire, Riccardo Freda’s I vampiri mixes the Bathory and Frankenstein stories to create its gothic tale, Italy’s first horror film. Made as a challenge by Freda at breakneck speed, cinematographer Mario Bava would complete direction and post-production of the film, adding his signature in the process. With its baroque imagery and stunning visuals, I vampiri forged the path for Italian horror and remains a landmark of Italian cinema history.100% Brand New and Factory SealedPacked with extra CARE with USPS First Class serviceDiscount/combined shipping if multiple items are ordered =)Photos in gallery is a sample of our actual in-stock itemsShips from Las Vegas, USALimited Edition Features:Reversible sleeve featuring artwork based on original postersBooklet featuring new writing by Roberto Curti, author of Italian Gothic Horror Films, 1957-1969mLimited Edition of 5000 copies, presented in full-height Scanavo packaging with removable OBI strip leaving packaging free of certificates and markingsFeatures: 2K restoration of the film presented with Italian audioAlternate presentation of the UK Lust of the Vampire cut, newly transferred for this release from archival materials courtesy of the BFI National Archive (1959, 66 mins)Alternate SD presentation of the US The Devil’s Commandment cut (1960, 72 mins)Audio commentary by Tim Lucas (2023)Bloodthirst - a featurette on the making of the film with Fabio Melelli, Mario Bava and Dario Michaelis (2013, 17 mins)Interview with Lamberto Bava (2022, 15 mins)Interview with Leon Hunt, author of Mario Bava: The Artisan as Italian Horror Auteur (2024, 21 mins)The Devil’s Commandment trailerOptional English subtitles for Italian audio and English SDH for English audioTechnical Specs:Year: 1957Region Code: ABCAudio: MonoPicture: 2.35:1Runtime: 82Language: Italian/EnglishSubtitles: EnglishLooking for more movies like this?
