U.S. label Mondo Macabro will be releasing director Jorge Grau’s atmospheric gothic horror, Blood Ceremony (1973) on Blu-ray. Stars Lucia Bose.
An aging Countess discovers that the blood of a maid can temporarily restore her youth and great beauty. Then she falls in love with a dashing young soldier but is compelled to kill again and again to maintain her attractiveness and prevent the secret from getting out.
Mondo Macabro has also confirmed that the upcoming release will feature the Uncut International Version of the film, as well as a shorter Spanish cut.
While CEREMONIA SANGRIENTA (to give its original title) is slow-moving at times it never fails to grip the attention.
