Esteemed parapsychologist Dr. Werner Vogler has come to the castle home of Mrs. Rezzori, a beautiful but irascible wheelchair-bound aristocrat, to practice his famed energy healing on her. Arriving on the grounds, Vogler is immediately struck by the sense that something dreadful once occurred at the castle, and he soon learns that its abandoned wing is rumored by locals to be haunted. Sure enough, as his stay progresses, the doctor begins to be assailed by gruesome visions of a frenzied stabbing and a ghoulish figure in a wheelchair. With the aid of a local journalist and Mrs. Rezzori’s estranged cousin, Micaela, Vogler starts to unravel the castle’s ghoulish past - unwittingly setting in motion a horrifying and bloody series of events.
Produced as part of a series of direct-to-video horror movies distributed under the banner of “Lucio Fulci presents” to capitalize on the Italian Godfather of Gore’s name, 1989’s BLOODY PSYCHO stands as one of the most downright entertaining entries in the cycle, serving up an assortment of brutal supernatural slashings alongside a healthy dose of sexual intrigue. Helmed by director Leandro Lucchetti (Apocalypse Mercenaries) and reuniting actors Brigitte Christensen and Marco Di Stefano from the previous year’s Blood Delirium, the Italian horror hounds at Vinegar Syndrome are delighted to let BLOODY PSYCHO loose in its world UHD premiere, restored in 4K from its original 16mm negative and stacked with a host of brand new bonus features.

"Great release! Very entertaining giallo -- a smallscale, melodramatic mystery with enough wonderfully trashy, ersatz elements to boggle one's mind at how this ever played on television. These elements, of course, are to the film's benefit. Plus, the slipcover is an absolute beauty to behold."
"The Fulci presents lineup is a hit or miss bag for most but Escape from Death is still a fun ride for me. Is the plot confusing as hell with plot holes galore? Yes, very much so, but this is late 80's Italian horror and that was just something you dealt with. No, I'm here for the sleaze, gore and WTF that most of these films contain and Escape is that in spades. A film like this probably doesn't deserve such a great transfer by VS but I can say I very much appreciate it for this slice of dumb horror."
"I've been waiting for this horror classic for a long time. Great gore and beautiful actresses."
"The second release from the Lucio Fulci presents series and an overlooked entry in my opinion. Not quite as showy or blood spattered as other films in the series but nonetheless an entertaining if slow giallo with some really great moments"
"Mildly entertaining c grade Italian horror. There’s some decent gore and violence but also a ton of boring melodrama. Still it manages to be mildly entertaining. Worth it for Italian horror completionists."
"An awesome horror movie. Gore effects are on point. A new selection of Lucio Fulci films 😊"
"A Lucio Fulci Presents title, we shouldn't expect too much from this, and it doesn't deliver more than the basic thrills. That said, I have a soft spot for this bottom of the barrel, late 80s Italian schlock and did enjoy the film. Hopefully the rest are coming from VS."
"Excellent artwork and transfer!"
"Fun little tv no ie presented by Lucio Fulci about A black-gloved killer is on the prowl. What more could you ask for?"
"Vinegar is on a roll great titles!!!"
