A Blade in the Dark (1983) aka La casa con la scala nel buio, directed by Lamberto Bava, Vinegar Syndrome 4k remaster, encoded in 10 bit HEVC with AAC sound, including original Italian theatrical stereo, horrible English stereo dub, two commentary tracks, and English subtitles.

IMDb : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085303/

Video encoded in two-pass 13.0 Mbps x265 10bit with the veryslow preset for archive quality image. Audio encoded separately with Apple AAC for the highest-quality AAC sound available. Subtitles converted to VobSub and repositioned.

Note : Kind of a last gasp of giallo transitioning into slasher here from Lamberto Bava, who manages some visually interesting stuff and some slightly inventive kills in his second feature, but it doesn't amount to that much. Andrea Occhipinti plays the lead, against several young actresses who mostly serve as meat for the grinder, but it's kind of fun to see Michele Soavi in more than a bit part, proving he's not a bad actor at all. Worth it for the Bava family completists, at least. Please avoid the English dub, as it's dismal.

Bruno is a composer for film, and rents a villa for work from wealthy Tony, who's leaving for Kuwait to work with his father in something oil related. A groundskeeper lives in the basement, but it seems someone else is also around, as the series of pretty girls who show up unannounced to flirt with Bruno have a nasty habit of getting murdered in and around the house, with Bruno too busy with work to notice anything is amiss. Blood drops and knife gouges in the furniture eventually convince him something is up, though, but by then, his girlfriend is coming to see him, not knowing what danger might wait inside the house.

This is a very respectable 4k remaster of a film that was originally shot on 16mm, grain is present but not distracting, color and contrast are fine, sharpness decent, and the original stereo track also sounds fine. The English dub is, as mentioned, mostly there for comedy value. Both commentary tracks are worthwhile, especially the Kat Ellinger one.

Hot tip

Quote:

HeVK torrents always have lots of keywords. Try searching for “hevk giallo” for more stylish death by sharp instrument, “hevk slasher” for more indiscriminate stabbings, or “hevk italian” for more from the country where everyone who owns a pair of black leather gloves is a suspect.
