Preorder scheduled for release May 26, 2025
Renowned as the “Godfather of Gore” for legendary cult supernatural horror films like “The Beyond” , Lucio Fulci delivers the suspense of noir with the punch of a horror film in his unapologetically brutal crime masterpiece, CONTRABAND - creating a raw, uncompromisingly visceral vision of organised crime with horror-style set-pieces - including one of the most notorious scenes in Italian crime cinema, the "melting face" sequence.
Fulci lays bare the raw - and completely unromanticised - brutality of the Camorra in one of his most hard-hitting and unrelenting films, merging crime thriller with Horror’s shocking aesthetics. “It got so real that the local underworld got involved in the actual making of the film”, explains star Fabio Testi in an exclusive interview for this release.
CONTRABAND stars the ever-charismatic tough-guy Fabio Testi (‘Revolver’) who delivers a powerful, career-defining performance as Luca - a tough-as-nails cigarette smuggler whose world explodes when his brother is murdered and his wife abducted. This ignites a ferocious mob war, with a ruthless new order attempting to replace the old criminal order with deadly narcotics. What follows isn’t just revenge - it’s a one-man war against a ruthless drug lord portrayed with unhinged intensity by Marcel Bozzuffi. His performance is so disturbingly sadistic, it makes his assassin role in “The French Connection” look tame. Here, Bozzuffi’s cool menace curdles into something purely psychopathic.
Fulci spares no one in the ensuing bloodbath, turning the sun-drenched Bay of Naples into a blood-soaked battleground. Brace yourself for a visceral on the senses as Fulci unleashes his signature gut-churning gore and eye-popping graphic cruelty.
This definitive edition is presented fully uncut, restored from 4K vault negative with additional colour correction and upgraded sound - exclusive to this version. It also uniquely features two optional seamless colour-version openings. Presented in FullHD 1080p Encode, it features both the English and the original Italian audio (with newly translated English subtitles), plus several extras including a unique new interview with star Fabio Testi.
