Let's go back to talking about the cursed film Opera Mortem (UK - 1973) regarding the release of the official trailer released exclusively on ScreenAnarchy. Shot on Super 8mm and VHS over a ten-year period by the insane British painter David Fleas, Opera Mortem is a satanic horror film that has emerged into the light after four decades sparking much curiosity around the world. The trailer also features some brief interviews with three people who, based on memories, talk about the director, who is known more for his pictorial and artistic but not directorial skills. The latter probably kept hidden by the artist.
Opera Mortem had a screening back in 1973 at the Nottingham's Odeon Film Theatre, where some people died immediately after the premiere. From that moment, the film vanished into thin air.
In order to disassociate his own name from his father's work, David Fleas' son gave up the rights to Opera Mortem only in 2015 to Italian collector Giovanni Mele.
Just because of him Opera Mortem was digitally remastered and restored in 2K, and to make up for the degradation of the original master and the now unrecoverable footage, new footage was added to the film at the rate of about 10%.
This cursed work today is ready for international distribution in its final version.
Recall that a five-minute clip was shown last April at the Sadique Master 2019 zeroing in and upsetting the audience in attendance at the French festival also due to a strange incident in the projection booth that occurred immediately after the screening of the film by Opera Mortem and, following which, the projection froze for thirty minutes.
Opera Mortem has been presented as a surrealist/dadaist/experimental extreme film in which the death visions of a suicidal girl merge with those of a necrophilic serial killer.
In addition, the presence of explicit gore and pornography, crude images, and literary quotes with references to suicide are some of the X-rated content present in this cursed horror film.
In order to give meaning to the various symbols present, Opera Mortem was brought to the attention of an occultist who called it "a kind of metaphorical transposition of a black magic ritual."
