{"product_id":"planet-of-the-vampires","title":"PLANET OF THE VAMPIRES","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpecial Features and Technical Specs:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4K restoration 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, presented in HDR\/Dolby Vision\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray presentation of the Italian (90 mins) and English (88 mins) versions of the film\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUncompressed mono audio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArchival audio commentary by Tim Lucas, author of Mario Bava: All the Colors of the Dark (2014)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA documentary feature which explores Planet of the Vampires, Mario Bava and the connection between gothic and science fiction.
