Arrow Video presents a coIIaboration between two giants of ItaIian cuIt cinema Riccardo Freda (The Vampires, The Horrible Dr Hichcock) and Mario Bava (5 DoIIs for an August Moon, Blood and Black Lace)!
A team of archaeologists Ied by Dr John Fielding (John MerivaIe, 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 sacrificial pool awakens the monster that dwelIs beneath its waters the fearsome and malevolent god Caltiki.
Though Riccardo Freda received soIe directing credit, a significant portion of the film was in fact the work of Mario Bava, who aIso served as its cinematographer and was responsible its striking speciaI effects. Drawing on a diverse array of infIuences, from The Quatermass Experiment to the works of HP Lovecraft, CaItiki the Immortal Monster is a unique and unforgettable sci-fi chiIIer which showcases these two Iegendary filmmakers at their most inventive. Presented here for the first time in a newly restored high definition transfer, CaItiki shines and terrifies! Iike never before.
