  • PRINCIPAL CAST: Christopher Lee
  • SYNOPSIS:
  • EUROCRYPT COLLECTION 2 PRESENTS FIVE OF THE MOST UNEXPECTED, UNDERRATED AND UNDERSEEN FILMS OF THE ICONIC ACTOR’S EUROPEAN CAREER.

Lee speaks fluent German opposite Klaus Kinski for the crazed 1962 krimi THE SECRET OF THE RED ORCHID. In the 1974 UK psycho-thriller DARK PLACES, Lee toplines a cast that includes Joan Collins, Herbert Lom, and Jane Birkin.

  • Italian horror master Dario Argento (Suspiria, Deep Red) elevates the giallo genre to new heights with 1982’s TENEBRAE, a darkly humorous and notoriously grisly murder-mystery that many consider to be one of his finest works.
