Oasis Of Fear Blu-Ray

Sale price685 kr

 

 

From cult maestro Umberto Lenzi—the renowned architect behind Italian shock films and depravity classics such as Cannibal Ferox and Almost Human comes the long-neglected, provocative home invasion thriller OASIS OF FEAR, in which Lenzi skillfully balances explicit shocks with genuine suspense. Cool, calculating, and elegant. "A haunting, boundary-pushing story!" reveals Ornella Muti, the ever-fascinating Italian film icon (Princess Aura in Flash Gordon) in a revealing new interview exclusive to this edition. "Lenzi captures how quickly society was changing, the freedom and danger that came with it."

In OASIS OF FEAR, which sizzles with magnetic performances, the young Muti and the stylish cult favorite Ray Lovelock play the leading roles as free-spirited hippies who finance their Italian adventure by selling provocative photos of themselves. When the police shut down their business, they seek refuge in a secluded villa owned by Barbara (Irene Papas, "Zorba the Greek"), a wealthy widow whose sophisticated charm hides sinister intentions. What begins as a flirtatious ménage à trois develops into a claustrophobic psychological power game, where tensions, hidden motives, and shifting loyalties lead to blackmail, threats, and ultimately murder.

 

Set against the sun-drenched backdrop of 1970s Italy, OASIS OF FEAR captures the reckless freedom and growing darkness of a time on the the border—think: the horror of the Manson murders (which Tarantino recreated in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, but without the comic relief).

 

 

This Full 1080P HD presentation, also known as "AN IDEAL PLACE TO KILL" and "DIRTY PICTURES" - recently restored in 2K from the original negatives - finally revives the lush cinematography and infectiously catchy pop soundtrack of this rarely seen gem. OASIS OF FEAR is one of Lenzi's most daring and elegant works and stands as an important part of provocative Italian exploitation cinema from the 1970s!
