Severin Films will issue a standard Blu-ray edition of Brunello Rondi's The Demon a.k.a. Il Demonio (1963), starring Daliah Lavi, Frank Wolff, and Marķa Teresa Orsini. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on October 15.
Description: For his second film as writer/director, famed Fellini collaborator and Oscar nominated screenwriter Brunello Rondi (LA DOLCE VITA, 8½) created this profoundly unnerving (Film at Lincoln Center) overlooked classic (Gruesome Magazine) that would influence WITCHFINDER GENERAL, DON'T TORTURE A DUCKLING and THE EXORCIST: In rural Southern Italy, an emotionally disturbed young woman - a damn near perfect performance (Rock! Shock! Pop!) by Daliah Lavi of THE WHIP AND THE BODY - turns to witchcraft to curse her former lover. But is her increasingly alarming behavior due to obsession or possession?
Frank Wolff (ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST) co-stars in this still-potent 1963 shocker co-written/co-produced by Luciano Martino (THE STRANGE VICE OF MRS. WARDH), scanned in 4K from the original negative at RAI-TV in Rome with newly discovered footage - including the complete 'spider walk' scene - missing from all previous releases.
