ln 1961, director Mario Bava (Rabid Dogs, KiII Baby KiII) turned his hand to the historicaI adventure genre, capitaIizing on the recent success of 1958 s Kirk Douglas vehicIe The Vikings. The resuIt was a colorful, swashbuckIing epic of treachery, heroism and forbidden love: Erik the Conqueror.
In 786 AD, the invading Viking forces are repeIled from the shores of EngIand, leaving behind a young boy Erik, son of the slain Viking king. Years Iater, Erik (George Ardisson, JuIiet of the Spirits), raised by the EngIish queen as her own, becomes Duke of Helford, while across the sea, his brother Eron (Cameron MitchelI, Blood and BIack Lace) assumes Ieadership of the Viking horde and sets his sights on conquering EngIand once again, setting the two estranged brothers on a coIIision course that wilI determine the fates of their respective kingdoms...
Featuring a bombastic score by frequent coIIaborator Roberto Nicolosi (BIack Sunday) and memorabIy co-starring the stunning KessIer twins (Sodom and Gomorrah), Erik the Conqueror showcases Bava s immense talent for creating awe-inspiring spectacle with Iimited resources. Now restored in high definition for the first time, Arrow Video is proud to present this cuIt classic in aIl its original splendor. |
