Zeder?
 

sorry if this has been covered before - this is my first post

The House of Laughing Windows

is my favourite Giallo and i was lucky enough to see its 35mm release last year.
if you haven't seen it please do so - it is a superior example of the genre imho!

anyway, Pupi Avati made another horror in the 80s called Zeder and I havent been able to track it down.

I dont know who has the rights but there seems to be a few copies on amazon starting at about £30. this could be an amazing addition to the shameless catalogue.

anyone seen it or have any info?

Theres a r1 dvd of zeder under the title revenge of the dead kicking about on amazon for 7-8 quid. Think its a bootleg though.:(

I have the Image US disc of this ( which wasn't a bootleg! ) which was released years ago. It's a good film which I really should rewatch sometime soon. Very atmospheric and creepy in places.

However it is full frame and certainly not up to the quality of today's discs. I agree - an upgraded version would make for a great Shameless title. Good suggestion :cool:

Hi Lex,

I also like Avati's Laughing Windows. The more I see it, the more it fascinate me.

Zeder is available in an English Friendly DVD edition (20th Century Fox) here:

it'll cost you 20 euros.

Cheers.

So the image release is going under the title of revenge of the dead? If so, i may be tempted on this,as i aint seen it and avati's house with laughing windows was superb.

thank you all for your swift replies


this is great news. if only i had ordered last year when the exhange rate was better! i should have known to check italy because i picked up fellini's cabiria on holiday in rome last year which bizarrely is not sold in the uk.

thanks again, will order it soon

The Image release was under the Zeder title ( in one of those horrible 'snapper' cases :ack: )

Thats probably the one going for silly money on amazon then.:(

Zeder is a good film - I like it anyway and an ideal candidate for a Shameless release. Could I also nominate another of Avati's hard-to-find titles in the shape of The Arcane Enchanter? I'm sure Shameless would sell a pile of those, as it's had such a scant release and is hard to get hold of.

I have the old Image release of Zeder. I believe there is an Italian release of it on DVD and It's widesceen. It's a good film with plenty of atmosphere.

I picked up the UK DVD of The House of Laughing Windows. The picture quality is OK, but it's a bare bones disc with zero extras.
