Seven Blood-Stained Orchids

Special Features (Blu-ray)

• Commentary features film historian Troy Howarth.
• Interview (24:02, HD) with Umberto Lenzi catches up with the director (who passed away last October), who shares the inspiration behind "Seven Blood-Stained Orchids," which was inspired by a Cornell Woolrich novel. Lenzi describes his discomfort with the production's German influences, but he largely praises the cast, offering special attention on the actresses, while calling out Antonio Sabato as a womanizer on the set. The helmer examines technical achievements, recalls the cinematography triumphs of "Spasmo," celebrates the musical offerings of composer Riz Ortolani, and takes a few moments to rate his work.

Giorgelli shares brief stories concerning her intense murder scene make-up, laments the death of Italian cinema, and assesses Lenzi's on-set behavior.
