Viewing Notes

Movie number three and one of my favorite Italian horror films. Sourced from an Italian 4K media book edition under its original Italian title. I think the Blu-ray I have of this looks better than this 4K edition due to some obvious print wear and discoloration in portions of the first and final reels. Honestly that didn’t really distract from the film much.

HINT: Sure we’ve seen zombies and rollercoasters on Blu-ray, DVD and 35mm before, but have we seen it in 4K? I THINK NOT!
