Severin Films has announced that it will release on 4K Blu-ray Dario Argento’s Four Flies on Grey Velvet (1971), starring Mimsy Farmer, Jean-Pierre Marielle, Bud Spencer, Aldo Bufi Landi, and Michael Brandon. The release will be available for purchase during Black Friday.
Label description: This third feature from writer/director Dario Argento the final film in his legendary ‘Animal Trilogy’ has long been the least-seen of his giallo classics until now: When a rock drummer (Michael Brandon) accidentally kills a stranger, he’ll unlock a nightmare of blackmail, paranoia and grisly murder that climaxes with “arguably the most visually impressive sequence in any of Argento’s movies” (Scream Magazine). Mimsy Farmer (AUTOPSY), Jean-Pierre Marielle (THE PERFUME OF YVONNE) and Bud Spencer (THE 5-MAN ARMY) co-star in this “horror holy grail and one of the great works of post-modern dread ever” (PopMatters) co-written by Luigi Cozzi and featuring a nerve-jangling score by Ennio Morricone, with both The Director’s Cut and English Language Version now fully restored in 4K from the original 2-perf negative.
