Severin Film presents the first-ever DVD release of Lucio Fulci’s PERVERSION STORY!

“An exquisitely crafted thriller…Guaranteed To Keep You On The Edge Of Your Seat!” - THE SPINNING IMAGE

From Lucio Fulci, the infamous director of Zombie and The Beyond, whose controversial career has flayed every envelope of cinematic excess comes Perversion Story. Nothing can prepare you for this stunning thriller.

Jean Sorel (Belle De Jour) stars as an arrogant San Francisco doctor trapped between his sultry mistress (Elsa Martinelli of Blood And Roses) and an amoral stripper (Marisa Mell of Danger: Diabolik)—who happens to bear an uncanny resemblance to his recently deceased (and possibly murdered) wife. What follows has been called Fulci’s first true masterpiece, where sexual obsession, cruel deception and depraved murder all come together.

John Ireland and Faith Domergue co-star in this gripping giallo –– that features eye-popping nudity, provocative locations (including the gas chamber at San Quentin) and a badass jazz score by Riz Ortolani (Mondo Cane, Kill Bill).

Thought to have been lost for more than 35 years, this is the French theatrical cut newly transferred from the Parisian negative element containing salacious scenes never before seen in any English language release! In France the film was released under the title Perversion Story even though it carries the Italian title card Una Sull'Altra and is an alternate edit from the US and UK releases we know as One On Top Of The Other. Both the original English and Italian tracks have been especially conformed to this version for Severin's DVD release. Special features include the theatrical trailer, Lucio Fulci’s bio and the rare bonus CD featuring music by Riz Ortolani.

This world-premiere DVD streets on February 27 at an S.R.P. of $29.95.
