Mario Bava finds Redemption and embraces Satan

[Akijama]

Some of Mario Bava's and horror cinema's most important films are to be released by Redemption on Blu-ray. The first batch includes the truly gothic masterpiece Mask of Satan aka Black Sunday starring the legendary Barbara Steele, the equally macabre Lisa and the Devil / House of Exorcism with Telly Savalas and the beautiful Elke Sommer with both versions included on a two disc release. Released at the same time is A Hatchet for the Honeymoon, Bava's intense depiction of insanity, oedipus-like desires and murdered brides all presented on a fabulous new HD master.

One of Mario Bava's finest and most gothic films, The Whip and the Body aka La frusta e il corpo, has just been signed to Redemption and will now be remastered from the original negative and released on Blu-ray. Starring horror legend Christopher Lee as a sadistic nobleman whose main pleasure in life is to whip his sister-in-law, played by the beautiful Daliah Lavi. When the nobleman is murdered his ghost returns and the beatings continue.

Yes, i remember i started that thread. I will purchase Black Sunday and Lisa and the Devil. Lisa and the Devil will be completly new to me, since i haven't watched it before.

Amazing news, count me in line. Redemption Films are really coming through with eurohorror releases and quickly becoming my favorite studios. Their DVDs were good but often lower quality but Redemptions relatively early adoption (for a indie horror label) and speedy output has been amazing.

Edit: I wonder if I could just pay Redemption to mail me whatever release they come up with next; like a Redemption Film(s) of the month club.

Just my opinion, but I consider Lisa and the Devil to be the best one of these, and one of his best ones, overall. Definitely worthy of a blind-buy.

I'm glad they're planing on doing more. There's several I'd really love on Blu-ray.

Because I needed more titles to buy in September...

[Gardenofstone10]

Awesome, I love Bava

Is Lisa's higher list-price due the inclusion of two cuts? Both showed up in my Gold Box today - hopefully they'll drop another buck or two before release date.

Yeah that is what I was thinking also... I recall first watching that US cut or other film we should say cause it is a 360 compared to the original Italian film!

Also I was watching Annie Hall recently and a theatre in CA was playing the film! It was in the background of one of the CA shots.

All Bava titles will be mine! Bring on Whip and the Body, Bay of Blood and Kill Baby Kill! next.

[DarknessBDJM]

And so soon to boot! If they look at least near as good as The Iron Rose, Fascination, Lips of Blood, Rape of the Vampire, Requiem for a Vampire, and The Hills Have Eyes part 2 I'll be very very happy.

Yep, would love to see this get a BD release. Along with Black Sabbath and Kill Baby Kill.

Black Sunday review is up: https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Black.../44103/#Review

[omahajon]

The review makes me want to buy this ASAP. Little light on cash now. Maybe waiting a few weeks or so will help, considering $19.99 is a little high for the release, IMO.
