Can you believe that 88 Films Italian collection is already at number 43……and what a superb release this one is!
It was the team-up of the century in 1990 when the Italian auteur of excess Dario Argento made this double-feature compendium creeper with DAWN OF THE DEAD helmer George Romero! The result brings together the very best of the United States independent sector with the kingpin of things giallo – giving us the much-loved splatter shocker TWO EVIL EYES!
The latest in 88 Films Italian line, Romero’s outstanding opening salvo offers us an adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar“, highlighting the sublime Scream Queen Adrienne Barbeau (THE FOG/ SWAMP THING) as a scheming widow seeking to exploit the estate of her terminally ill husband. Little does she know, however, that her husband is already ahead of the curve… and planning a little ghoulish vengeance of his own!
For Dario Argento’s Poe adaptation “The Black Cat“, Harvey Keitel (RESERVOIR DOGS/ TAXI DRIVER) essays an eccentric photographer obsessed with death and dismay… although eventually his livelihood encourages him to embark on the ultimate crime. However, there is a super-sick sting in the tale that will leave the hapless camera-man literally hollowed-out from head to toe!
We dare you to endure the gruesome and gruelling special effects of Tom Savini (DAY OF THE DEAD) and the provocative, spine-tingling soundtrack of Pino Donaggio (BODY DOUBLE) in this awe-inspiring frightener that is finally available to UK horror buffs in hair-raising HD…!!!
