Italian horror CROSS OF SEVEN JEWELS - Coming to Blu-ray via TetroVideo

TetroVideo has announced the release of Cross of the Seven Jewels (aka “La croce dalle 7 pietre” and “Il lupo mannaro contro la camorra”), the 1987 Italian horror film directed, written and starring Marco Antonio Andolfi, here credited as Eddy Endolf. 

 

Thanks to TetroVideo in collaboration with Luce Cinecittà, the cult trash film Cross of the Seven Jewels (restored edition) will be available on Blu-ray for the first time ever. 

 

No release date announced yet. 

 

The film has been remastered from a 4K scan of the original 35mm camera negative, exclusively done by TetroVideo, supervised and approved by Luce Cinecittà. 

 

Cross of Seven Jewels Blu-ray also comes with a lot of extra content by Luca Ruocco from InGenereCinema. 

 

Produced by G. C. Pictures, Cross of Seven Jewels was distributed theatrically in Italy in 1987. After its release, Andolfi re-edited the film in 1995 for the Asian market and re-released it under the name Talisman. This version of the film included footage from documentaries, newsreel footage and from the film The Serpent and the Rainbow by Wes Craven. 

 

However in 2007, Eddy Endolf directed the medium-length film Riecco Aborym, the Cross of Seven Jewels sequel. 

 

Both Talisman and Riecco Aborym will be included in the Cross of Seven Jewels Blu-ray bonus features. 

 

Cross of Seven Jewels synopsis: Marco Sartori (Marco Antonio Andolfi) becomes a sadistic werewolf after being cursed by a black magic society. Only a jeweled necklace he wears can stop the transformations taking place but one day the precious amulet is stolen while taking a trip from Naples to Rome. 

 

Eddy Endolf, Annie Belle, Paolo Fiorino, George Ardisson, Gordon Mitchell, Glauco Simonini, Zaira Zoccheddu, Giulio Massimini and Mario Donatone star.
