Black Magic Rites Limited Edition Blu-Ray

Original release 1973

Aspect ratio 1.66:1

From one of Italian genre cinema's most provocative and uncompromising filmmakers comes Black Magic Rites (Riti, magie nere e segrete orge nel Trecento... aka The Reincarnation of Isabel), Renato Polselli's (The Vampire and the Ballerina) delirious masterpiece of erotic horror.

When the beautiful Laureen throws a wild party at the castle she has just inherited, she is blissfully unaware that the dark cellar is home to an occult sect determined toIsabel's death, who was burned at the stake 600 years earlier as a witch. The occultists' satanic rituals require the blood of virgins... Could Laureen be next?

Starring Mickey Hargitay (Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?) and Rita Calderoni (A Quiet Place in the Country), this bizarre, psychedelic blend of eroticism and Italian Gothic horror is presented in a brand new 4K restoration from the original negative.
