The House by the Cemetery (1981) aka Quella villa accanto al cimitero, directed by Lucio Fulci, Blue Underground 4k remaster, encoded in 10 bit HEVC with AAC sound, including English 7.1 remaster, original theatrical mono tracks in both Italian and English, three commentary tracks, and English, French, and Spanish subtitles.
IMDb : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082966
Video encoded in two-pass 12.0 Mbps x265 10bit with the veryslow preset for archive quality image. Audio encoded separately with Apple AAC for the highest-quality AAC sound available. English and Spanish subtitles OCRed, proofed, and corrected, French subtitles converted to VobSub and repositioned.
Note : As promised once a long time ago, here's a do-over of this film, which was tricky to get right because of both weird grain and my inexperience back then. This new version has a very light denoise applied, higher bitrate, much better sound, and still includes my corrected OCRed subtitles. Anyway, this is the third film in Fulci's Gates of Hell trilogy that also includes City of the Living Dead and The Beyond. It's a gnarly and nightmarish little film with not much real logic to the story, but nice mood, a few good setpieces, and not a lot of originality, but it's plenty stylish, and worth it if you're a Fulci fan. The solid cast includes Fulci regular Catriona MacColl, as well as Ania Pieroni, Paolo Malco, Giovanni Frezza, Silvia Collatina, and Dagmar Lassander.
Norman and Lucy Boyle and their son Bob are moving from New York City to the small town of New Whitby, into a house owned by Norman's colleague, who murdered his mistress before committing suicide. Once in the town, Bob sees a little girl he'd previously noticed in a photo of the house, and she warns him to stay away. Once they're settled in the house, which the real estate agent insists on calling "Oak Mansion", although everyone apparently knows it as "The Freudstein house", Norman discovers his colleague was researching disappearances and other strange goings on in the area. Lucy discovers a tombstone on the grounds, and then one literally inside the house, embedded in the floor, and when Norman goes into the previously locked and barred up basement to investigate, he's attacked by a bat and forced to repeatedly stab it, because this is a Lucio Fulcio movie. Things don't get any better from there, and it turns out the house's original owner might not have entirely left.
This remaster is pretty good, except for the weird, prominent, and peaky grain, which I've reduced very slightly. Otherwise, the image is clean and fairly sharp, color and contrast are decent. 7.1 remaster sounds good, both mono tracks too, and the three commentary tracks are all interesting and informative, especially the one by Troy Howarth.
