High Tension: Four Films By Lamberto Bava [Blu-ray]

The worldwide Blu-ray premiere of the infamous anthology series directed by Lamberto Bava. Plus bonus Boswell/Bava soundtrack CD.

THE WORLDWIDE BLU-RAY PREMIERE OF THE INFAMOUS ANTHOLOGY SERIES DIRECTED BY LAMBERTO BAVA

In the late ’80s, Lamberto Bava agreed to direct a four-part anthology series for Italian TV under the title High Tension. But when executives saw the completed features’ extreme themes and graphic violence, their broadcast was blocked for nearly a decade and they have only existed as grey market bootlegs since. Severin Films now presents their Official Worldwide Blu-ray Premiere: Tomas Arana stars as a horror director stalked by evil forces in THE PRINCE OF TERROR, written by Dardano Sacchetti and featuring grisly FX by Sergio Stivaletti. In THE MAN WHO WOULDN’T DIE, adapted from a short story by poliziotteschi novelist Giorgio Scerbanenco, the survivor of a home invasion seeks vengeance. Daria Nicolodi stars in SCHOOL OF FEAR about a student academy with a dark secret. And in the giallo shocker EYE WITNESS, Barbara Cupisti stars as a blind woman who ‘sees’ a murder. All four films are scanned in 2K from the original camera negatives with Italian and first time ever English tracks, plus over 5 hours of Special Features and a Soundtrack CD curated by Simon Boswell featuring music from High Tension, THE MASK OF SATAN, DEMONS 2, DELIRIUM and more.
