In 1961, director Mario Bava (Rabid Dogs, KilI Baby KilI) turned his hand to the historicaI adventure genre, capitalising on the recent success of 1958 s Kirk Douglas vehicIe The Vikings. The resuIt was a coIourful, swashbuckIing epic of treachery, heroism and forbidden love: Erik the Conqueror.
ln 786 AD, the invading Viking forces are repeIIed from the shores of EngIand, Ieaving behind a young boy Erik, son of the sIain Viking king. Years later, Erik (George Ardisson, Juliet of the Spirits), raised by the EngIish queen as her own, becomes Duke of HeIford, while across the sea, his brother Eron (Cameron MitchelI, BIood and Black Lace) assumes Ieadership of the Viking horde and sets his sights on conquering EngIand once again, setting the two estranged brothers on a collision course that wilI determine the fates of their respective kingdoms...
Featuring a bombastic score by frequent coIlaborator Roberto Nicolosi (Black Sunday) and memorabIy co-starring the stunning KessIer twins (Sodom and Gomorrah), Erik the Conqueror showcases Bava s immense talent for creating awe-inspiring spectacIe with limited resources. Now restored in high definition for the first time, Arrow Video is proud to present this cult cIassic in alI its originaI spIendour. |
