Arrow Video presents a coIIaboration between two giants of ItaIian cuIt cinema Riccardo Freda (The Vampires, The HorribIe Dr Hichcock) and Mario Bava (5 DoIIs for an August Moon, BIood and Black Lace)!
A team of archaeoIogists 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 Iuckless expIorers 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 sole 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 influences, from The Quatermass Experiment to the works of HP Lovecraft, Caltiki the Immortal Monster is a unique and unforgettabIe sci-fi chiller which showcases these two legendary fiImmakers at their most inventive. Presented here for the first time in a newly restored high definition transfer, CaItiki shines and terrifies! like never before.
