Description: PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
WORLDWIDE DISC PREMIERE OF THE ACCLAIMED ITALIAN TV ANTHOLOGYIn 1981, RAI-TV presented six hour-long films based on stories by 19th century horror/fantasy authors from such directors as Giulio Questi (DJANGO, KILL!), Marcello Aliprandi (A WHISPER IN THE DARK) and Giovanna Gagliardo (STREET OF MIRRORS), starring actors that included Veronica Lario (TENEBRE), Saverio Vallone (ANTHROPOPHAGOUS) and Stefano Madia (THE DEVIL'S HONEY). But it was the mini-series' second episode that remains it's most celebrated: The final work of legendary director Mario Bava - and the debut of his son Lamberto Bava as co-director - LA VENERE D'ILLE/THE VENUS OF ILLE stars Daria Nicolodi (DEEP RED) and Marc Porel (DON't TORTURE A DUCKLING) in an elegantly chilling tale of supernatural love. Five episodes have been sourced from broadcast masters, with Bava's swan song restored from a 16mm print discovered in the RAI vault by film preservationists Simone Starace and the late Michele de Angelis.

REVIEW
The power of late 20th century European television... This Italian mini-series accorded a reverence to horror & fantasy literature that feature films of the 1980s didn't. --The Bedlam Files

It provides Mario Bava with one last chance to shine... LA VENERE D'ILLE stands out as one of the Maestro's finest achievements. --Troy Howarth, The Haunted World of Maria Bava

I GIOCHI DEL DIAVOLO/THE DEVIL'S GAME is an interesting selection of classic genre stories made by an equally interesting selection of filmmakers and actors. --Rock! Shock! Pop!
