British distributors Indicator/Powerhouse Films have announced their June batch of releases. They are: Four Times That Night (1971) and Macabre (1980). The two releases are scheduled to arrive on the market on April 22.
Four Times That Night
Description: From legendary Italian maestro Mario Bava (Bay of Blood) comes Four Times That Night (Quanto volte... quella notte), a delirious commedia sexy all'italiana take on Rashomon starring Brett Halsey (A Cat in the Brain) and Daniela Giordano (Your Vice Is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key).
Handsome model John (Halsey) takes the virginial Tina (Giordano) on a date. When Tina returns to her overbearing mother in tears, her dress in tatters, everyone has a different account of what really happened that night...
With support from Pascale Petit (A Queen for Caesar), Valeria Sabel (The Godfather Part III), and the infamous Dick Randall (The Wild, Wild World of Jayne Mansfield), who also produced, and a luscious soundtrack by Lallo Gori (The Sinful Nuns of Saint Valentine), Four Times That Night is a pop art-infused feast for the eyes and ears.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Bernice Stegers (Xtro) and Stanko Molnar (A Blade in the Dark) star in Macabre (Macabro), the solo directorial debut of Lamberto Bava, son of – and assistant to – the great Mario Bava.
Traumatised by the deaths of both her son and her lover, Fred (Roberto Posse), Jane (Stegers) retreats to a boarding house run by the blind Robert (Molnar), where she builds a shrine to Fred and passionately calls his name when she is alone in her room. Both Robert and Jane's daughter Lucy (Veronica Zinny) sense that something strange is going on and begin to investigate her bizarre behaviour...
Co-written by the great Pupi Avati (The House with Laughing Windows), and lensed by Franco Delli Colli (What Have They Done to Your Daughters?), Macabre is a twisted classic of Italian horror, presented in an extras-laden edition with a brand-new restoration from the original negative, all of which has been produced in collaboration with Vinegar Syndrome.
PLEASE NOTE: THE US EDITION OF MACABRE WILL BE RELEASED BY VINEGAR SYNDROME USING THE SAME RESTORATION AND EXTRA FEATURES AS CO-PRODUCED BY POWERHOUSE FILMS AND VINEGAR SYNDROME.
