Rabid Dogs (DVD/LBX/SUB) IMPORT
RD200491 $39.95 Rated: NRVWD:Video Watchdog DVD 1974
UPC#718754200491 Foreign
Prebook: 01/27/98 Street Date: 02/24/98
Features: LBX/REG0/SUB
Lea Lander, George Eastman
Imagine Quentin Tarantino remaking "Last House on the Left" inside a speeding car... That's Mario Bava's "Rabid Dogs," a brutal and ironic kidnapping story whose unflinching realism makes it unlike any other film ever made by Italy's foremost director of horror and fantasy. Made in the summer of 1974, five years before Bava's death, "Rabid Dogs" was virtually completed when one of its key investors was killed in a traffic accident; the footage was impounded until it was bought twenty years later by featured actress Lea Lander (Blood & Black Lace) and completed according to Bava's editing notes for this exclusive DVD release! The release of "Rabid Dogs" is a momentous occasion for Italian genre buffs worldwide; it's one of Bava's best and darkest films, and also one of his greatest technical achievements! LBX 1.66:1/ Italian/ SUB:English, German.
