THE WORLDWIDE UHD PREMIERE
5-DISC LIMITED EDITION
WITH 3 VERSIONS OF THE FILM
4+ HOURS OF SPECIAL FEATURES
AND BONUS SOUNDTRACK CD

It redefined the giallo, birthed the slasher genre and remains “the film that changed the face of horror forever” (DVD Talk). Now Severin Films brings 3 separate versions – The English Release, The Original Italian Release and The Italian Re-Release – of this “brutal” (Little White Lies), “disturbing” (Screen Anarchy) and “brilliant” (Slant Magazine) classic from writer/director/cinematographer/maestro Mario Bava to UHD for the first time: When a wealthy countess is murdered for her bayfront real estate, it will lead to the systematic slaughter of ruthless developers, greedy heirs and bad neighbors. Claudine Auger (THUNDERBALL), Luigi Pistilli (YOUR VICE IS A LOCKED ROOM…) and Laura Betti (HATCHET FOR THE HONEYMOON) star in “a film of unbridled ferocity that still shocks today” (Mondo Digital) – also known as BLOOD BATH, TWITCH OF THE DEATH NERVE, CARNAGE and LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT PART II – featuring landmark gore effects by 3x Oscar® winner Carlo Rambaldi (ALIEN) and an equally brilliant score by Stelvio Cipriani (BARON BLOOD). All 3 versions have been scanned in 4K from superior vault elements with nearly 5 hours of new & archival Special Features and a Bonus Soundtrack CD.

Limited Edition Slipcase Designed by Eric Lee

The Slipcase and Soundtrack CD are Exclusive to this Limited Edition Release

Included with every purchase of the Limited Edition of A BAY OF BLOOD is a meticulous replica of Hallmark Releasing’s original CARNAGE Barf Bag. CARNAGE – the second film ‘Rated V For Violence!’ – was the original title used by Hallmark prior to their TWITCH OF THE DEATH NERVE and LAST HOUSE PART II campaigns. Much rarer than the MARK OF THE DEVIL or DR. BUTCHER barf bags, Steve Bissette – who provides the Hallmark video essay in the Special Features for A BAY OF BLOOD – helped us track down what may be the only original in existence (a huge thank you to owner Robert Deveau!) – for our high-resolution and totally functional reproduction.
