Planet of the Vampires (1965) RM4K English Cut 1080p Radiance Blu...

In the outer reaches of deep space, the spaceship Galliott answers a distress signal from Aura, an unexplored planet. As the ship attempts to land, members of the crew inexplicably begin to attack one another. This is the start of a terrifying expedition into the unknown, one plagued by paranoia, possession and violent mayhem wrought upon the unsuspecting explorers by the planet’s mysterious inhabitants. A sci-fi horror hybrid from genre master Mario Bava, Planet of the Vampires is widely regarded as one of the most influential genre films ever made, with a clear influence on films such as Alien and Pitch Black.

This has become the standard version of this film on home media but it is a re-edited version of this film released by American International Pictures (AIP) as Planet of the Vampires.

Most of you don't have to download every upload. It's hard to say what's the best version to watch for everyone but the standard version will always be uploaded first and it will include a commentary track by Tim Lucas. The standard versions have better video and audio quality. All the other versions are there for archivists and Bava enthusiasts or if you really want to watch a specific language dub.
