The Whip and the Body (1963) aka La frusta e il corpo, directed by Mario Bava, V2 Kino Lorber remaster, encoded in 10 bit HEVC with AAC sound, including original Italian theatrical dual mono, original English theatrical dual mono, commentary track, and English subtitles.
IMDb : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057078/
Video encoded in two-pass 15.0 Mbps x265 10bit with the veryslow preset for archive quality image. Audio encoded separately with Apple AAC for the highest-quality AAC sound available. Text subtitles converted to SRT, image subtitles converted to VobSub and repositioned.
Note : A do-over of the gothickest of gothic horror from Mario Bava here, this film became very controversial and even banned in cinemas in Italy because of the themes of sadomasochism that run throughout. Christopher Lee is an excellent lead, doing his usual sneering evil nobleman thing, this time with added flogging, and this is perhaps as gorgeously gothic as any color film has looked, with deep blacks pierced by Bava's beloved colored gels. Just a visual feast, and the story is pretty good too, as is the rest of the cast, including Daliah Lavi, Tony Kendall, and Bava's favorite Peter Lorre lookalike Luciano Pigozzi.
A young nobleman named Kurt returns to his father's castle in spite of having been banished after his affair with a servant's daughter led to her suicide and him breaking off his engagement to the beautiful Nevenka. In his absence, Nevenka has married his brother Cristiano, but she might still be longing for Kurt and their... special sexual practices. No one seems particularly happy to see him back, but things get even worse when he's mysteriously murdered, and then apparently starts haunting the castle as perhaps the world's first BDSM ghost, doling out nightly whippings to a confused but excited Nevenka.
I think this is the same video master as my previous encode, but I've obviously encoded at a higher bitrate, and this also adds a commentary track and SDH subtitles, so it's all in all a good upgrade.

HeVK torrents always have lots of keywords. Try searching for “ hevk ghost” for more haunting spirits of the dead, “ hevk period” for more tales from times past, or “ hevk 60s” for more from the decade when you couldn't throw a rock without hitting Christopher Lee in a frilly shirt.
