Description: Absolutely brand new limited edition, completely out of print. Region free and playable on any blu ray player. Planet of the VampiresIn the outer reaches of deep space, the spaceship Galliott answers a distress signal from Aura, an unexplored planet. As the ship attempts to land, members of the crew inexplicably begin to attack one another. This is the start of a terrifying expedition into the unknown, one plagued by paranoia, possession and violent mayhem wrought upon the unsuspecting explorers by the planet’s mysterious inhabitants. A sci-fi horror hybrid from genre master Mario Bava (Blood and Black Lace), Planet of the Vampires is widely regarded as one of the most influential genre films ever made, with a clear influence on films such as Alien and Pitch Black. With a uniquely chilly atmosphere and fantastic production design that belies its low budget origins, Planet of the Vampires is a true genre classic.LIMITED EDITION BLU-RAY SPECIAL FEATURES4K scan of the film from the original negative under the supervision of Lamberto Bava and carried out at Fotocinema in Rome in collaboration with CSC Cineteca Nazionale High-Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentation of the Italian (89 mins) and English (88 mins) versions of the film Alternate Kendall Schmidt scoreUncompressed mono audioArchival audio commentary by Tim Lucas, author of Mario Bava: All the Colors of the Dark (2014)Transmissions from a Haunted World - A new documentary which explores Planet of the Vampires, Mario Bava and the connection between gothic and science fiction.
