THE WORLDWIDE UHD PREMIERE

THREE DISC LIMITED EDITION
WITH BONUS SOUNDTRACK CD

When writer/actor Luigi Montefiori/George Eastman passed away in May of 2026, the world lost “one of the most fascinating figures in Italian exploitation cinema” (Genre Grinder). Now his sole directorial feature – produced by Joe D’Amato and shot in Virginia – is presented in UHD for the first time: Deep within a university laboratory, a brilliant professor is conducting unauthorized experiments in genetic engineering. But will his growing obsession with creating a new lifeform lead to the most horrific transformation of all? Gene LeBrock (BEYOND DARKNESS) stars – with a special appearance by the movie’s costume designer Laura Gemser – in “the thinking person’s Italian body horror film” (Senseless Cinema) with special effects by Maurizio Trani (ZOMBIE, THE BEYOND, RATS: NIGHT OF TERROR) and a score by Luigi Ceccarelli (STRIKE COMMANDO, NOSFERATU IN VENICE), newly scanned in 4K from the original camera negative with Special Features that include a never-before-seen interview with Montefiori plus the first-ever release of the soundtrack on a Bonus CD.
