What’s more, Dr. Marc finds a note from Larry saying he’s going away for a while to clear his head. A year later, Larry returns to the house, but Ann is adamant that this man is not her husband, despite the protests of Dr. Marc and Mary to the contrary. To add to her mounting turmoil, Ann starts to experience gruesome hallucinations and receives phone calls from someone claiming to be the real Larry, contacting her from beyond the grave. As those around her start being dispatched in various grisly ways, is Ann losing her grip on sanity, or could something even more diabolical be afoot?

This forbidden pursuit has driven Dr. Frances B. Gröss to the brink of madness, but in his obsession, he has amassed a uniquely comprehensive collection of films that depict life in its final, grueling moments. From the savagery of cold-blooded murder to the perverse realities of war, tragic accidents, and the everyday lives of those who collect, dissect, and bury the dead, this descent into morbidity exposes a truth that all of us will one day face. One of the most banned, censored, controversial, and notorious films ever made, FACES OF DEATH (1979) changed cinema forever. A surprise home video blockbuster that spawned three sequels, the film was met with both praise and condemnation, along with legions of fans and hordes of protestors. Skillfully combining grueling imagery depicting the stark reality of mortality, blended with cleverly staged, ultra-gory re-enactments of murders, suicides, executions, and more too horrible to imagine, Vinegar Syndrome Archive is excited to at last bring FACES OF DEATH to 4K UHD newly restored from its long-lost camera original, and presented completely uncut and fully sourced from film elements for the first time on disc, it remains just as shocking today as it was nearly 50 years ago. • 2-disc Set: 4K Ultra HD \/ Region A Blu-ray • 4K UHD presented in Dolby Vision High-Dynamic-Range • Newly scanned \u0026amp; restored in 4K from its 35mm and 16mm original camera negative • Commentary with director Conan Le Cilaire, moderated by Michael Felsher • \"Buried Footage\" - newly discovered, never-before-seen outtakes • \"Choice Cuts\" - an archival featurette with editor Glenn Turner • \"The Death Makers\" - an archival featurette with effects creators Allan Apone and Douglas White • \"Many Faces of Death\" - scholars and genre experts examine the controversial origins and lasting cultural impact of Faces of Death • Isolated music track • Archival outtakes • Trailer • Reversible sleeve artwork • English SDH subtitles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"dead video","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49780679016688,"sku":null,"price":79.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0832\/9645\/2848\/files\/dwrxsrb1zxiy8ycqwgue.webp?v=1780140377"},{"product_id":"house-of-dreams-1963-blu-ray","title":"House of Dreams (1963) (Blu-ray)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e***THIS IS THE STANDARD EDITION AND DOES NOT INCLUDE A SLIP COVER*** Existing outside the boundaries of reality, House of Dreams is a lost chapter of mid-century, avant garde horror from director Robert Berry.
