Baron Blood review

Anton van Beek  |  Jul 8, 2013

Arrow offers three times the fun with this feature-packed edition of this bonkers Italian slasher...

It may not be Mario Bava's most inspired film (to put it mildly), but that hasn't stopped Arrow from pulling out all the stops with this release. The Blu-ray offers a choice of three versions of the film - the original Italian cut, the export version of the same and the seven-minute shorter US edit - all handsomely restored and presented as AVC 1.74:1 1080p encodes. The LPCM 2.0 mono soundtracks are equally impressive. Arrow's typically satisfying selection of extra features include a commentary, trailers, a Bava at Work behind-the-scenes photo gallery and an interview with fellow Italian filmmaker Rugero Deodato.

Baron Blood, Arrow Video, Region B BD/R2 DVD, £23 Approx
HCC VERDICT: 3.5/5
