After announcing its distribution a few months ago, these days TetroVideo has unveiled the special contents that will be featured on the Blu-ray edition of the The cross from the 7 stones (aka The Werewolf vs. the Camorra, Cross of the Seven Jewels), a film written, directed, and starring Eddy Endolf in 1987.
Considered the "Cult of Trash Horror." The cross from the 7 stones will be available for the international home video market soon, with TetroVideo in collaboration with Luce Cinecittà .
The film will enjoy for the first time a Blu-ray edition made from a 4K scan of the 35mm negative and enhanced by a rich section of extras curated by Luca Ruocco for InGenereCinema.
After the film was screened in only two Sicilian theaters, Eddy Endolf (pseudonym of Marco Antonio Andolfi) re-edited the film for the Asian market, adding some unedited scenes and renaming it Talisman.
Twenty years later, on the other hand, the director directed its sequel viz. Aborym again, a 30-minute medium-length film.
Plot of The cross from the 7 stones: Marco Sartori (Eddy Endolf ), a Roman bank clerk, is robbed of a gem-studded cross without which the man is condemned to turn into a werewolf. The man will try to recover the powerful talisman but, during his desperate search, will be forced to confront some Camorra leaders who will prevent him from recovering the precious object in time.
The cast also includes George Ardisson (Zorro at the Court of Spain), Annie Belle (Blood Red), Gordon Mitchell (Maciste in the Land of the Cyclops), Paolo Fiorino, Glauco Simonini, Zaira Zoccheddu (Femmine infernali), Giulio Massimini (Le foto di Gioia) and Mario Donatone (Phenomena).
The film is produced by G. C. Pictures.
