  • Indicator Releasing Black Magic Rites

    Coming to UHD and Blu-ray in June.

    https://www.powerhousefilms.co.uk/pr...ites-4k-uhd-le

    (Renato Polselli, 1973)
    Release date: 26 June 2023
    Limited Edition 4K UHD (World premiere)

    From the mind of one of Italian genre cinema’s most outrageous and uncompromising filmmakers comes Black Magic Rites (Riti, magie nere e segrete orge nel Trecento... aka The Reincarnation of Isabel), Renato Polselli’s (The Vampire and the Ballerina) delirious masterpiece of erotic horror.

    When beautiful Laureen throws a wild party at the castle which she has just inherited, she is blissfully unaware that its dark cellar harbours an occult sect that is hellbent on avenging the death of Isabel, who was burned at the stake 600 years earlier as a witch. The occultists’ satanic rituals call for the blood of virgins… Could Laureen be next?

    Starring Mickey Hargitay (Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?) and Rita Calderoni (A Quiet Place in the Country) this bizarre, psychedelic fusion of eroticism and Italian Gothic horror is presented in an all-new 4K restoration from the original negative.

    When I woke up this morning, I wasn't aware I needed a UHD of 'Black Magic Rites', in addition to my perfectly decent blu-ray, soundtrack LP etc.... but the new extras sound great, and I constantly aspire to leave my loved ones weeping over all the money I wasted on this kind of junk once I'm gone, so yeah: I'm in.

    (Tho I will probably wait until their big sale begins on the 24th, in order to combine with an order at that point...)

      Me too. Could be a total groovy eye-fuck in 4k.
      I'm bitter, I'm twisted, James Joyce is fucking my sister.

          Andrew Monroe: "You never get too much Rita Calderoni."

          I agree about Rita. But how do you feel about the chick with the mascara who spends half the movie running around shouting "Aiuto, aiuto"?

            Is that Stefi, the comic-relief character? Or perhaps "Christa Barrymore"? Great cast of Polselli people in this. Many only did two films--this one and Delirium.

              I still have my VHS bootleg of this as the truncated GHASTLY ORGIES OF COUNT DRACULA that I bought from Craig Ledbetter not long after Tim Lucas reviewed it in Video Watchdog. I'll centuple dip on this movie.

                Like Marshall, I'm not sure who that is - I'm thinking Christa Barrymore who was quite the looker as well. But Rita is the queen.

                  I was referring to the comic relief character Stefi, who seems to be Stefania Fassio. She's killed at the beginning of Delirium, I think.

                        I wonder if someone could get away with releasing Polselli's REVELATIONS OF A PSYCHIATRIST ON THE WORLD OF SEXUAL PERVERSION. The dog scene in that is arguably tamer than the horse scene in EMANUELLE IN AMERICA.

                            Hope that means they can unfuck problematic titles like Nude for Satan and Phantasmes.

                              I can’t see how they could release Phantasms in the U.K. Agreed on Nude for Satan though.
