Phantom of Death (1988) aka Un delitto poco comune aka Off Balance, directed by Ruggero Deodato, Cauldron Films remaster, encoded in 10 bit HEVC with AAC sound, including original English theatrical stereo, Italian stereo dub, commentary track, and English subtitles.
IMDb : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092865/
Video encoded in two-pass 12.0 Mbps x265 10bit with the veryslow preset for archive quality image. Audio encoded separately with Apple AAC for the highest-quality AAC sound available. Subtitles converted to VobSub and repositioned.
Note : Ruggero Deodato didn't only make cannibal films, of course, he swung by quite a few genres during his career, and while this slasher/giallo hybrid isn't his best film, it's got a few things going for it, like a solid cast, including Michael York, Donald Pleasence, and Edwige Fenech, as well as a small apperance by Deodato regular Giovanni Lombardo Radice as a priest (a role he strangely played a lot in the later part of his career). The plot is ok, dealing with the fear of growing old, through a murderer with progeria, but it's let down by some weird pacing and cinematography that, at least in this transfer, looks dull and uninteresting. Then again, there's a fair bit of nudity and gore, and, for some reason, a subplot involving ninjas, because this is the 80s, after all.
Robert is a concert pianist living in Venice, who's diagnosed with progeria, a genetic condition that leads to rapid aging. Unlike a normal mortal man, who would die happy after having sex with Edwige Fenech just once, he's driven mad, and goes on a killing spree, while inspector Datti tries to stop him. Eventually, turned monstrous by aging, he targets the inspector's daughter.
This transfer is pretty insipid, although it's hard to tell what's the fault of the transfer and what's just the cinematography. It's low-contrast, feels too bright and washed out, and the grain is slightly more present than it should be. On the other hand, the blood is nice and bright red, so there's that. Both stereo tracks sound fine, but the English one is the one with the most original actor's voices, and the commentary track is interesting enough.
Hot tip

HeVK torrents always have lots of keywords. Try searching for “ hevk giallo” for more inventively sadistic serial killers in Italy, “ hevk slasher” for more films where women are relentlessly stalked and murdered, or “ hevk italian” for more from the country whose horror films often combine sadism and eroticism.
