Details

Lamberto Bava may be best known for the lunatic lacerations of his Demons franchise but A Blade In The Dark is, arguably, his most terrifying offering to date!

A giallo blood-opera, which features some of the most gruelling sequences in the genre's vast canon, A Blade In The DarkK holes up a talented composer in a spacious Tuscany retreat. Unfortunately, a maniac is prowling the immediate environment and no one, including our heroic musician, is safe from this hack-happy psychopath's collection of dangerously sharp weapons.

Co-starring the legendary Michele Soavi (later the director of Stagefright and The Church) and written by the equally iconic twosome of Dardano Sacchetti and Elisa Briganti (Zombie Flesh-Eaters, The Beyond), A Blade In The Dark is one of the finest gore-epics from the halcyon days of Italian horror madness now restored in 4K UHD from the original camera negatives in both the Director's and Extended Cuts via Seamless Branching.

A Blade In The Dark is released on Blu-ray and 4K UHD 25th March 2024 from 88 Films.
