Esteemed parapsychologist Dr. Werner Vogler has come to the castle home of Mrs. Rezzori, a beautiful but irascible wheelchair-bound aristocrat, to practice his famed energy healing on her. Arriving on the grounds, Vogler is immediately struck by the sense that something dreadful once occurred at the castle, and he soon learns that its abandoned wing is rumored by locals to be haunted. Sure enough, as his stay progresses, the doctor begins to be assailed by gruesome visions of a frenzied stabbing and a ghoulish figure in a wheelchair. With the aid of a local journalist and Mrs. Rezzori’s estranged cousin, Micaela, Vogler starts to unravel the castle’s ghoulish past - unwittingly setting in motion a horrifying and bloody series of events.
Produced as part of a series of direct-to-video horror movies distributed under the banner of “Lucio Fulci presents” to capitalize on the Italian Godfather of Gore’s name, 1989’s BLOODY PSYCHO stands as one of the most downright entertaining entries in the cycle, serving up an assortment of brutal supernatural slashings alongside a healthy dose of sexual intrigue. Helmed by director Leandro Lucchetti (Apocalypse Mercenaries) and reuniting actors Brigitte Christensen and Marco Di Stefano from the previous year’s Blood Delirium, the Italian horror hounds at Vinegar Syndrome are delighted to let BLOODY PSYCHO loose in its world UHD premiere, restored in 4K from its original 16mm negative and stacked with a host of brand new bonus features.
