STUDIOCANAL presents two brand-new restorations of two superb thrillers from legendary director Alberto De Martino – the 1974 Italian exorcist film THE ANTICHRIST, a superbly sleazy and unsettling shocker, featuring an amazing score by Ennio Morricone, starring Carla Gravina (Madame Bovary), Mel Ferrer (Nightmare City) and Oscar® nominee Arthur Kennedy (Champion); and the 1976 cop thriller BLAZING MAGNUM (aka Shadows in an Empty Room), an outrageous action-packed B-movie riff on Dirty Harry, starring Oscar® nominee Stuart Whitman (The Mark), John Saxon (A Nightmare on Elm Street), Tisa Farrow (The Last Hunter) and Oscar® winner Martin Landau (North by Northwest), with, according to film historian Kim Newman, epic car chases that rival Steve McQueen’s Bullitt.
Both titles include brand-new audio interviews with Alberto De Martino on the films, as well as commentaries, interviews and trailers and art cards. These immaculate restorations, making their UK Blu-ray debuts, are a must-own for fans of Italian action and horror cinema, and aficionados of outstanding exploitation director De Martino.
