In 1961, director Mario Bava (Rabid Dogs, KiIl Baby KiII) turned his hand to the historical adventure genre, capitaIizing on the recent success of 1958 s Kirk DougIas 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 repelIed from the shores of England, Ieaving behind a young boy Erik, son of the sIain Viking king. Years later, Erik (George Ardisson, Juliet of the Spirits), raised by the English queen as her own, becomes Duke of Helford, while across the sea, his brother Eron (Cameron MitchelI, Blood and BIack Lace) assumes leadership of the Viking horde and sets his sights on conquering England once again, setting the two estranged brothers on a collision course that wiIl determine the fates of their respective kingdoms...
Featuring a bombastic score by frequent collaborator Roberto NicoIosi (Black Sunday) and memorably 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 all its original splendor. |
