Please
Note:
This release is limited to only
3,000 copies.
If
the title doesn't already suggest, you are definitely in for a wild
ride when you pop in The
Sinful Dwarf,
a 1973 (original XXX) Danish film directed by Vidal Raski. This
excellent release from Severin showcases a great new transfer for
this once lost film along with some insightful extras that will keep
any gore hound happy and the casual horror fan amused.
Included
in the release is The
Dwarf,
a strong international version along with The
Abducted Bride,
an alternate U.S. version of the film. There's also a bonus feature
film from its infamous producers, the ultra-rare, The
Blue Balloon,
scanned at 2K high def. If you're into gore, drugs, torture,
depravity, and smut than this creepy little flick is right up your
alley!
In
London, a perverted Swedish dwarf who plays the piano lures young
women into his alcoholic mother's boarding house, which was a former
nightclub. There they are drugged, whipped, turned into heroin
addicts and forced into prostitution. Can they topple these evil
Dwarf before they meet their grisly end?
Presented
in 2K High Definition with a crystal clear English lossless DTS-HD MA
(Master Audio) 2.0 Mono track (with the age of the independent
production in consideration), the film looks and sounds sometimes
fantastic on Blu-ray disc. Though these films were once lost and
shot on a low budget, its remarkable how great they look here.
Extras
also include:
The
Harry Novak Story
featurette on the Sultan Of Sexploitation with American Grindhouse
director Elijah Drenner
THE
BLUE BALLOON
– 1973 Feature Film, Never Before Released On Any Home Video Format
THE
HOTTEST SHOW IN TOWN
– Excerpt From Torben Bille Sex Film
The
Search For Torben
featurette on the effort To Find Cast/Crew From THE
SINFUL DWARF
The
Severin Controversy
featurette on the Lasting Effects of THE
SINFUL DWARF
plus
Trailers, TV Spot and a Radio Spot.
I
would suggest this odd film to any fan of extreme horror that's
looking for something new.
