Default Arrow Video - Inferno

INFERNO



“A MASTERPIECE…
PERHAPS THE MOST UNDERRATED
HORROR MOVIE OF THE 1980s.”


KIM NEWMAN.

Having already wowed horror fans with superlative releases of ‘Day Of The Dead’, ‘Martin’ and ‘City Of The Living Dead’ earlier this year, Arrow Video continues its commitment to presenting the ultimate, must-have editions of horror cinema’s greatest cult classics on DVD and Blu-ray with its forthcoming 30th Anniversary release of Dario Argento’s Inferno.

Never before available on DVD or Blu-ray in the UK, this 30th Anniversary Edition features a brand new, restored, uncut version of the film and comes complete with a host of unique and exclusive extras, many of which were specially commissioned for this release. Also included are four sleeve art options, a double-sided poster, an exclusive collector’s booklet written by Alan Jones (author of ‘Profondo Argento’) and six original poster art postcards.

Described by Argento as “a fairy tale designed for adults”, the second instalment of his ‘Three Mothers’ trilogy (and the follow up to his smash hit, ‘Suspiria’), Inferno “contains some of Argento's most hallucinatory images and unforgettable set-pieces” (The Onion AV Club) and was listed as one of the 50 Greatest Horror Movies Of All Time by Total Film.

The film’s surreal plot concerns a young poetess, Rose Elliot (Irene Miracle), whose research into the history of her New York apartment building and its possible connection to the legendary witches known as ‘The Three Mothers’ results in a series of bizarre murders and a supernatural mystery of horrific proportions. Disturbed by a frantic phone call from Rose, her brother Mark (Leigh McCloskey) immediately flies home to New York from his studies in Rome only to find Rose’s apartment empty and very few clues as to her whereabouts. As he investigates his sister’s disappearance, Mark unwittingly moves closer and closer to a terrifying encounter with an ancient, powerful evil.

Starring Irene Miracle (Puppetmaster; Midnight Express), Daria Nicolodi (Phenomena; Tenebre), Leigh McCloskey (Dallas) and Ania Pieroni (Tenebre; The House By The Cemetery), boasting a truly bombastic score by Keith Emerson (of Emerson, Lake And Palmer fame) and featuring some of the most unforgettable images from any of Argento’s works, Inferno is a must-see for horror fans and an essential companion piece to ‘Suspiria’.

The 30th Anniversary Edition of Inferno (cert. 18) will be released as a two-disc DVD (£15.99) and a two-disc Blu-ray/DVD combo (£22.99) by Arrow Video on 13th September 2010.





Special Features include:

  • Introduction by star Daria Nicolodi
  • ‘Dario’s Inferno’ featurette
  • ‘Acting In Hot Water – An Interview With Daria Nicolodi’
  • ‘The Other Mother: Making The Black Cat’ – director Luigi Cozzi discusses his rarely seen, totally unofficial 1989 ‘sequel’ to Inferno
  • ‘X Marks The Spot – Argento Remembers Bava’ (Easter Egg)
  • Dario Argento and Lamberto Bava discuss Inferno
  • ‘Dario Argento: An Eye For Horror’ – documentary on Argento’s career narrated by Mark Kermode and including interviews with George A. Romero, John Carpenter and others
  • The Complete Dario Argento Trailer Gallery
  • Q&A with star Irene Miracle, composer Keith Emerson and author Tim Lucas filmed at LA’s New Beverly Cinema in 2009 (Blu-ray only)
  • English 5.1 Dolby Digital and Stereo and Italian Mono audio options
  • 5.1 DTS audio option (Blu-ray only)
  • Optional English subtitles
  • Four sleeve art options
  • Double sided poster
  • exclusive collector’s booklet
  • six original poster art postcards.

Beautiful.Absolutely fecking fantastic.

Wonder if all these other versions of Inferno that are being released elsewhere have packages like that.....doubt it very much!

At the risk of sounding repetitive......DEFINITIVE,DEFINITIVE,DEFINITIVE.

Especially all the nicer that the BBFC saw sense.

Transit time's what matters though, most of these will be shipped from offshore so can easily take a week to arrive.
