Details

This special limited edition embossed slipcover (designed by Robert Sammelin) is limited to 5,000 units and is only available on our website and at select indie retailers. Absolutely no major retailers will be stocking them.

At the dawn of human civilization, hundreds of thousands of years ago, war was a way of life, with rivaling tribes and vicious nomads transforming the earth into a non-stop bloodbath. Bog, a young man who dreams of being the leader of not just his tribe, but all of human civilization, begins a bloodthirsty quest for domination, wherein he’ll need to fight and conquer both man and beast to truly ascend to the power he so desperately craves.

An ultra gory Italian cash-in on the then popular Hollywood trope of ancient-times action/adventure films, notorious genre film auteur Alberto Cavallone’s (A Man, A Woman, and a Beast) MASTER OF THE WORLD (aka Conqueror of the World) is a low rent/high sleaze saga of prehistoric man at his most brutal, complete with an array of shocking and dangerous animal stunts to balance out the human-on-human savagery. Never officially released on DVD, Vinegar Syndrome brings this gruesome epic to Blu-ray, freshly restored in 4K from its 35mm original negative!

Reviews

Great slip cover and transfer

"* Excellent artwork * Superb transfer * Fantastic flick"

— PARBHAT K. (5/5)

The Master of Your Domain

"The presentation of the film is like other Italian "Ancient times" films such as "Ironmaster" or "Conquest". The film covers a war between Neanderthal tribes, one of which has a Homo Sapiens man as apart of their tribe. The restoration on this film looks very clean on blu-ray, & is worth seeking out. So, please, check it out!"

"I’m not a big fan of italian movies but I enjoyed Master of the World. Sure, it’s slow and cheap, but has some uncommon psychedelic qualities that made me enjoy it. Very good extras."
