On November 24, 2015 the 1971 cult favorite, Blood and Lace, will make it’s debut on home entertainment for the first time thanks to a Blu-ray+DVD combo pack release from Scream Factory. This film from American International Pictures had been considered long-lost so this news should be very welcomed by horror fans everywhere. Blood and Lace was directed by Philip S. Gilbert.
Synopsis:
After her mother’s brutal murder at the hands of a hammer-wielding maniac, teenaged Ellie Masters (Melody Patterson) is suddenly orphaned. She is sent to a home for children run by the enigmatic Mrs. Deere (Gloria Grahame, a 1952 Best Supporting Actress Academy Award® winner for her role in The Bad and The Beautiful), in spite of the concern that Ellie will be the newest target of her mother’s killer. But as terror strikes again and again, it becomes unclear who might be the bigger threat to Ellie’s life: the mysterious murderer with a hammer…or her sadistic new caretaker.
With borderline insane plot twists, and some unexpected performances by two faces familiar to fans of classic sitcoms – Vic Tayback (“Mel” from Alice) and Len Lesser (“Uncle Leo” from Seinfeld) – this little-known horror gem is a jolting, terror-filled thriller you’ve got to see to believe.Special Features:
• Brand New High-Definition transfer
• New Audio Commentary by Film Historian Richard Harland Smith
• Alternate Opening Title
• Original Theatrical Trailer
