Vinegar Syndrome will unleash Don Coscarelli’s The Beastmaster on 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray soon with a feature length making-of documentary, 40-page bound book, and a stunning new case designed by Earl Kess (which you can see below).
Coscarelli says: “I am happy to report that Vinegar Syndrome has embarked on a meticulous restoration of my film The Beastmaster that it has always deserved. Vinegar Syndrome has done commendable legwork and tracked down a pristine printing element, a high-quality Interpositive, in the Warner Bros. vaults. VS has also assembled a plethora of fascinating new supplemental materials that I cannot wait to share with fans. I am so excited that finally The Beastmaster will be released on 4k Ultra HD and Blu-ray in North America.”
Additional info:
Directed by Coscarelli (Phantasm) and starring Marc Singer, Rip Torn, Tanya Roberts, John Amos, and Rod Loomis, it tells the tale of Dar who is cursed by the wizard Maax when he’s a baby, to prevent him from rightfully ascending as the leader of his people. But the curse leaves him with a unique gift: the ability to telepathically communicate with all forms of animal life. When Maax wipes out his tribe, Dar begins a quest of vengeance, accompanied by his animal friends, to Maax and end his reign of terror and violence. Pre-order HERE.
