Press Release - Opera Mortem: the infamous lost haunted film on Blu-ray this December


This month, Goredrome Pictures is proud to announce the release of Opera Mortem, the infamous haunted film directed by the mad English painter David Fleas in the 1970s.

The film comes in a Limited Mediabook edition (Covers A, B, and C + Slipcover, 2 cards, 2 Blu-ray discs) also with an Anaglyph 3D version; 15 minutes of the original, not manipulated video, and the 3D anaglyph glasses.

Opera Mortem will be available for pre-order on Goredrome Pictures and TetroVideo official websites from midnight on December 24 to midnight on January 5.

Once the pre-order has closed, the copies will no longer be available.

Originally shot for almost 10 years in super-8 mm and VHS, the film was screened only once in 1973 at Nottingham’s Odeon Film Theatre.

The rights to the footage were acquired in 2015 by Italian discoverer Giovanni Mele after a long battle with Fleas’s son and heir, and then it was digitally remastered and restored in 2k.

Raw images and elegant literary quotations with references to suicide: this is Opera Mortem. This surrealist/dadaist film intertwines the death visions of a suicidal girl with those of a necrophilic serial killer.

"Oddly hypnotic, the aesthetic has a way of creeping under your skin and blurring the lines between artistic expression and visual violence". - GrimoireOfHorror
