A serial killer has Rome on edge! Paralyzing his victims, then proceeding to slice them open before their own eyes, he must be stopped!

A serial killer has Rome on edge! Paralyzing his victims, then proceeding to slice them open before their own eyes, this sadistic maniac must be stopped! Conflicted, burned-out, and feeling overwhelmed, Inspector Tellini must find the madman before he claims another victim in a case that edges closer and closer to his personal life.

Starring three Bond girls (Claudine Auger, Barbara Bouchet, and Rosella Falk), alongside another Bond alumnus, Giancarlo Giannini, The Black Belly of the Tarantula is a giallo cornerstone that broke the genre wide open and became one of the genre's true classics.

Masterfully filmed by Paolo Cavara (MONDO CANE), this is The Black Belly of the Tarantula remastered and restored from the original camera negative, for the first time EVER in high-definition and 4K ultra high-definition in its original aspect ratio.
