Yhdysvaltalaisen Vinegar Syndromen hämmästyttävän hulppea tuplaformaattinen (2 kappaletta 4K UHD:tä + 2 Blu-ray:tä aluekoodittomana) julkaisu Mario Bavan pojan Lamberto Bavan (Macabre, Blastfighter, Demons, Delirium) toisesta ohjauksesta, joka on väkivaltainen myöhemmän aallon giallo, jossa kauhuelokuvasäveltäjä Bruno lähtee etsimään inspiraatiota tulevaan scoreensa syrjäisestä kartanosta. Bruno saa vieraaksi pian ystäviään, mutta myös murhaajan, joka alkaa surmata yksi kerrallaan villassa kävijöitä.

Pääosassa Lucio Fulcin fantasiafilmi Conquestista tuttu Andrea Occhipinti. Muissa rooleissa muun muassa ohjaajana tunnettu Michele Soavi (ohjauksia: Stage Fright, The Church, The Sect, Cemetary Man, näytellyt: City of the Living Dead, The New York Ripper, The Atlantis Interceptors) ja Valeria Cavalli (Warriors of the Year 2072, The Mother of Tears).

Musiikin ovat säveltäneet veljekset Guido & Maurizio De Angelis (Trinity Is Still My Name, Torso, High Crime, The Violent Professionals, Street Law, Violent Rome, The Big Racket, Mannaja, The Mountain of the Cannibal God, Killer Fish).

This special limited edition diagonal magnet box + slipcover set (designed by Robert Sammelin) is limited to 6,000 units.

Bruno, an up and coming film composer, has been hired to write the score to a new horror movie. The film’s director, Sandra, suggests that he move into a spooky and secluded villa, so as to get extra creative inspiration. However, life begins to imitate art as a vicious killer starts bumping off anyone and everyone who happens to pay Bruno a visit. As each death leaves more clues, while opening up more possibilities as to potential suspects, Bruno begins to believe that the film he’s been hired to work on may itself be the key to unlocking the mystery...

The first major international hit for director Lamberto Bava (Macabre), A BLADE IN THE DARK was initially conceived as a TV mini-series but quickly deemed far too violent for the airwaves by Italian censors, and was instead re-edited for theatrical release. A classically structured giallo, albeit one taking stylistic cues from the then booming slasher craze, complete with an array of elaborate and bloody murders, the film features Andrea Occhipinti (Conquest), Fabiola Toledo (Caligula: The Untold Story), and actor turned director, Michele Soavi (Stage Fright). Co-scripted by prolific Italian genre writer Dardano Sacchetti (The Bronx Warriors) and featuring a pulsing score by the legendary Guido and Maurizio De Angelis (Ironmaster), Vinegar Syndrome is proud to present the world UHD debut of this 80s giallo classic, newly restored in 4K from its original camera negative and presented for the first time on disc in both its extended TV version as well as its long unavailable international theatrical cut, all supplemented by a host of new and archival bonus materials!
