5 DEAD ON THE CRIMSON CANVAS BLU-RAY

Richard Streeb is a brooding artist whose work dwells on grisly depictions of death and dismemberment. Shortly after the unveiling of his most recent exhibition, Streeb’s preoccupation with the macabre bleeds horrifyingly into real life when the artist is attacked in his own home by a black-clad, knife-wielding figure. After being stabbed multiple times before the eyes of his helpless wife, Streeb is dragged off into the night by his assailant. With the authorities proving ineffectual, and the mysterious killer striking again and again - targeting victims all tied to the artist - it falls to Streeb’s brother Bill to mount his own investigation in an attempt to unravel the meaning behind these slayings.  A loving homage to the films of Dario Argento and Mario Bava, director Joseph F. Parda’s micro-budget 5 DEAD ON THE CRIMSON CANVAS (1996) - produced by and starring B-movie stalwart Joe Zaso (Nikos the Impaler) - may well lay claim to being the only shot on Super-8 giallo to emerge from
