PRODUCT INFORMATION
Sizzling with magnetic performances, OASIS OF FEAR stars the luminous young Muti and dashing cult favourite Ray Lovelock as free-spirited hippies funding their Italian adventure by selling provocative photos of themselves. When the police shut down their operation, they seek refuge in a secluded villa owned by Barbara (Irene Papas, ‘Zorba the Greek’), a wealthy widow whose sophisticated charm hides sinister intentions. What begins as a flirtatious ménage-à-trois spirals into a claustrophobic psychological power game — where tensions, hidden motives, and shifting loyalties lead to blackmail, threats, and ultimately, murder.
Set against the sun-drenched backdrop of 1970s Italy, OASIS OF FEAR captures the reckless freedom and growing darkness of an era on the edge - think: the horror of the Manson murders (as reimagined by Tarantino in ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’, but stripped of comedic relief).
Also known, very appropriately, as ‘AN IDEAL PLACE TO KILL’ and ‘DIRTY PICTURES’, this Full 1080P HD presentation — newly restored in 2K from the original negatives — finally revives the lush cinematography and infectiously catchy pop soundtrack of this rarely seen gem. One of Lenzi’s most daring and stylish works, OASIS OF FEAR stands as a quintessential piece of provocative 1970s Italian exploitation cinema!
