Default The Bird With the Crystal Plumage (ArrowDrome): Specs Thread

The Bird With the Crystal Plumage DVD (ArrowDrome)



A STUNNING PORTRAIT IN PSYCHO-TERROR!

Dario Argento nails the Giallo blueprint in The Bird with the Crystal Plumage, a brutal thriller that packs a gory brace of terrifying murders alongside it’s genre defining mix of red herrings, leather gloved slashers and stylish decor.

When Sam, an American writer in Rome, witnesses an attempted slaying in an art gallery, he unwittingly sets the killers sights on himself and his beautiful model girlfriend. But soon, things start to unravel as it becomes clear that the identity of the unknown slayer is very much open to question. Somebody’s killing everyone, who is the evil fiend? Could it be Sam himself?

Argento’s groundbreaking shocker combines eye-popping visuals with a seamy vein of sadomasochism and a lust for violence to create a genre defining movie classic.

That's a much better cover than the one that was used for the BD.

I agree with the above; I'm loving the yellow Giallo sleeve designs.

I quite like the cover. I'm guessing it's Storaro-vision or whatever they're calling it, so sadly it's another pass . But I agree very much with the Yellow / Giallo Sleeve Designs comment. All of them I've seen so far look pretty spectacular.

Indeed it is and a notable improvement over Arrowdrome's Deep Red release imo.

Does this TBWTCP DVD retain all the extras from the previous BR edition or is the Argento interview and booklet all there is?

For a minute there, I was worried that this had an Arrow Special Edition DVD and had gone out-of-print, then I realised it was only available on Blu-ray!

Glad to see this is getting a DVD release on ArrowDrome.
