TetroVideo has just released a photo of the posters that will be attached to the 666 DVDs of Opera Mortem (UK – 1973), l'horror satanico emerso alla luce dopo 4 decenni e che sarà distribuito in Italia prossimamente. Ricordiamo che Opera Mortem non verrà mai più ristampato e che pertanto sarà pubblicato nell'edizione Bookbox per collezionisti, formato inedito in Italia.
Shot on Super 8mm and VHS over a ten-year period by the insane British painter David Fleas, Opera Mortem had one screening back in 1973 at the Nottingham's Odeon Film Theatre (where some people tragically died immediately after the premiere), then vanished into thin air.
After 40 years of oblivion, the film resurfaced in 2015 thanks to a Italian collector And to the masters of the occult.
Presented as an "extreme surrealist/dadaist/experimental film" and called "a kind of metaphorical transposition of a black magic ritual" by an occultist, Opera Mortem deals with gruesome content, gore, explicit pornography, crude images, and literary quotations with references to suicide in which the death visions of a suicidal girl merge with those of a necrophilic serial killer.
