Once proclaimed as "positively the most horrifying film ever made", Mark of the Devil arrives in a director-approved edition featuring a new restoration of the feature. A bloody and brutal critique of religious corruption, Mark of the Devil sees horror icon Udo Kier (Flesh for Frankenstein, Suspiria) play a witchfinder's apprentice whose faith in his master (Herbert Lom) becomes severely tested when they settle in an Austrian village. Presided over by the sadistic Albino (a memorably nasty turn from Reggie Nalder), the film presents its morality not so much in shades of grey as shades of black. Written and directed by Michael Armstrong, who would later pen Eskimo Nell, The Black Panther and House of the Long Shadows, this classic shocker has lost none of its power over the years.

Press Quotes

...A terrific movie, and there's never going to be a better edition of it. I love the robust collection of extras that delve into every aspect of its production, providing a complete history lesson of one of horror's landmark films.

Arrow has meticulously reinstated the longest cut of the film with all its depraved violence, in both English and German... Highly Recommended.

stands as one of the true pioneers of the exploitation movement

Hunt it down, as Mark of the Devil lives up to its reputation and then some

     —Oh, the Horror

One of the signature examples of 1970s exploitation at its most grueling. It's been over 40 years, but it still retains a few squirm inducing moments to leave its MARK on modern audiences
