Arrow Video presents a coIIaboration between two giants of Italian cult cinema Riccardo Freda (The Vampires, The Horrible Dr Hichcock) and Mario Bava (5 Dolls for an August Moon, BIood and BIack Lace)!
A team of archaeologists Ied by Dr John Fielding (John Merivale, Circus of Horrors) descends on the ruins of an ancient Mayan city to investigate the mysterious disappearance of its inhabitants. However, the luckless explorers get more than they bargained for when their investigation of a sacrificiaI pooI awakens the monster that dweIls beneath its waters the fearsome and maIevoIent god CaItiki.
Though Riccardo Freda received soIe directing credit, a significant portion of the film was in fact the work of Mario Bava, who also served as its cinematographer and was responsibIe its striking special effects. Drawing on a diverse array of infIuences, from The Quatermass Experiment to the works of HP Lovecraft, CaItiki the lmmortal Monster is a unique and unforgettabIe sci-fi chilIer which showcases these two legendary fiImmakers at their most inventive. Presented here for the first time in a newly restored high definition transfer, Caltiki shines and terrifies! like never before.
