The Monster Blu-ray (Radiance Films U.S.) [Preorder]

Preorder scheduled for release on October 20, 2026

Valerio is a struggling reporter with a failed marriage and withdrawn son. He is angry at the world and strives for more. In the newspaper’s mail he receives the opportunity he’s been waiting for, a serial killer announces and later carries out a series of grisly murders. Valerio remorselessly uses this opportunity to improve his position and standing but will he draw himself too close to the killer? From veteran director Luigi Zampa, The Monster is a satirical giallo with deeper commentary on the nature of the press in society. Written by Sergio Donati (Once Upon a Time in the West, Slap the Monster on Page One) and featuring a catchy Ennio Morricone score, it is presented on home video for the first time outside Italy.
