Director Luigi Bazzoni's unique vision of 'FOOTPRINTS ON THE MOON' is brought to life by the striking cinematography of Vittorio Storaro (three-time Oscar® winner including 'Apocalypse Now'). Florinda Bolkan ('Flavia The Heretic') delivers a masterful, nuanced performance bringing captivating depth to the character of Alice - a young translator grappling with memory loss. Tormented by nightmare visions of a sinister scientist (Klaus Kinski) deliberately abandoning astronauts to die on the Moon, Alice is struggling to recall three missing days. A mysterious postcard beckons her to the enigmatic island of Garma. Once there, an unsettling revelation unfolds: the inhabitants recognise her presence during the unaccounted-for days, not as Alice, but as another person named Nicole. Confronting uncomfortable truths, Alice embarks on a quest to unravel the mystery shrouding her identity and the events of those missing days - a quest which culminates in murder and an extraordinarily surreal finale. Touching on mental health issues as well as on climate change, it resonates with today's challenges while immersing viewers in an emotionally charged experience that transcends the ordinary. 'FOOTPRINTS' unfolds as a mesmerising exploration of identity and the boundaries of perceived reality, memory, dreams, and existential mysteries; it stands as the most haunting and visually stunning Giallo you will ever see, presented here restored from 4K scans of the original camera negative, finally doing justice to the exquisite unearthly visions of its creators. Special Features: 'Remembering the Moon' introduction by star Florinda Bolkan 'Master of Light' interview with Vittorio Storaro 'To the Moon' interview with Ida Galli aka Evelyn Stewart Audio commentary by Film-Critic Genre-Expert Rachael Nisbet Original Italian theatrical trailer New English Subtitles over the Optional Original Italian + switchable SDH over the English language version Full HD 1080P encode from restored 4K scans of the original camera negative in 1.85:1 WIDE-SCREEN
Lamberto Bava, son of the Italian horror legend and giallo godfather Mario Bava, teamed up with modern master Dario Argent (co-writer and producer) for this slick gorefest, a triumph of style and special effects over movie logic. Set in a refurbished German movie palace, our hapless soon-to-be victims arrive for a sneak preview of a horror movie only to see the gore unfold in the audience, as well as onscreen. While the exposition remains murky, one patron finds that an infected cut leads to a gooey transformation, and every one of her victims follows suit until the snaggle-toothed monsters outnumber the humans. The survivors, trapped in the tomb of a cinema, must fend off attacks à la George Romero's Night of the Living Dead. Borrowing liberally from films such as Dawn of the Dead and The Tingler, Demons also anticipates Scream in its cinema-savvy references, not to mention its undeniably Neve Campbell-ish heroine. The blaring heavy-metal-hard-rock soundtrack and the carnival horror-house atmosphere helps remind us that this is all just stupid fun. Despite the overwhelming body count, excessive gore and rivers of green demon pus, the cartoonishly grotesque killings avoid the sadistic edge of many Italian horror films. By the climax of the film the premise is long forgotten in a ghoul apocalypse, but who's watching this for the story anyway? --Sean Axmaker, Amazon.com
HE SOUGHT THE ULTIMATE IN HUMAN AGONY... One of the horror giant Mario Bava's biggest hits, Baron Blood returns to the all-stops-out Gothic atmosphere and the central theme of a witch's curse that fuelled his breakthrough film Black Sunday twelve years later. This time, the curse was placed on Baron Otto von Kleist, Austria's legendarily murderous 'Baron Blood', whose corpse is inadvertently revived when an ancient incantation is read out as a joke by a descendant and his girlfriend. Naturally, the Baron decides to carry on where he originally left off, with the help of an entire vault of elaborate torture devices. Jospeh Cotten (Citizen Kane, The Third Man) has a whale of a time as the deceptively charming Baron, and is given sterling support from Elke Sommer (Lisa and the Devil), who is chased through fog-shrouded alleyways in one of Bava's modst memorably atmospheric set-pieces.

Highly influential Italian slasher flick has people brutally murdered in an isolated house. Extremely violent semi-incoherent but visually impressive offering from cult director Bava. Essential for cult horror fans.
