When Ann, the wealthy yet mentally unstable wife of accomplished author Larry, claims to have found her husband brutally murdered in her stables, her psychiatrist, Dr. Marc, and Larry’s secretary, Mary, are skeptical — not least because there is no body to be found. What’s more, Dr. Marc finds a note from Larry saying he’s going away for a while to clear his head. A year later, Larry returns to the house, but Ann is adamant that this man is not her husband, despite the protests of Dr. Marc and Mary to the contrary. To add to her mounting turmoil, Ann starts to experience gruesome hallucinations and receives phone calls from someone claiming to be the real Larry, contacting her from beyond the grave. As those around her start being dispatched in various grisly ways, is Ann losing her grip on sanity, or could something even more diabolical be afoot?

Helmed by Enzo Milioni, director of giallo favorite The Sister of Ursula (1978), and starring Euro-horror regular Zora Kerova (Cannibal Ferox, The New York Ripper), ESCAPE FROM DEATH (aka Luna di sangue) was produced as part of a series of direct-to-video and television films released under the banner of “Lucio Fulci presents”, which also includes Fulci’s own Touch of Death and Umberto Lenzi’s Hell’s Gate. A twisty-turny giallo punctuated by moments of shocking and unexpected gore, Vinegar Syndrome is thrilled to unveil ESCAPE FROM DEATH in its world UHD premiere, restored in 4K from its original 16mm negative and loaded with a selection of newly-produced bonus features.

Reviews

it ain't the best, but

"I like it. For me, it's got the clunky charm of so many late '60s & '70s horror movies that play more melodramatic. Of course, ESCAPE. . . does offer a handful of Fulci-esque violent bits. Plus, how can I be anything but satisfied by the weird Solly subplot? The disc looks good, showcasing thick grain & strong colors. I opted for the alt. slip & I'm happy to own this disc."

Maggot toothpaste!!

"Another Lucio Fulci presents and I don't know what the complaints of boredom are about because I thoroughly enjoyed this one and it had more gore than I expected. It was better than the last one (Massacre) in my humble opinion anyway. The story was great and kept me hooked (is that the real Larry or not)?! I think not. Good twists and turns and gore. I do recommend. And Zora Kerova really looks like Daria Nicolodi in this one! Prove me wrong. The maggot toothpaste scene was the grossest thing I've seen in a while!"
