Lamberto Bava, son of the late Mario Bava, directed the Italian horror films Demons and Demons 2 back in the ’80s, the first of which memorably starred Geretta Geretta as the character Rosemary; as fans of the film surely recall, Rosemary undergoes a gruesome transformation into one of the film’s titular demons. All these years later, Bava and Geretta are re-teaming on a new horror film, to be co-produced by Bava and directed by the Demons star!
Delirium broke the news last month, adding that Kansas Bowling (Troma’s B.C. Butcher) is also producing the film, which will be shot in 16mm in New Orleans sometime this year.
Delirium’s Chris Alexander offers a tantalizing tease:
“The movie will have DNA closely tied to Bava’s original Demons film.”
In addition to directing, Geretta Geretta wrote the untitled movie.
