I haven’t seen Cozzi’s film for years, doubtful that a nice HD presentation can save it though. Patrick should be good though, I’ll definitely be picking up a copy of that.

I admit I have a soft spot for Cozzi's work. 
And, the only time I saw this film, it was such a poor quality tape I could barely see a thing, so I look forward to revisit it in the future. 

Weren't there interviews on the old dvd of PATRICK (Shriek Show?) that have not been ported over for the Severin release? Or am I mixing it up with BURIAL GROUND? Would hate to lose those as I think they featured Mariangela Giordano and the producer.

The next batch of releases by Severin Films (out in October) includes Luigi Cozzi's The Black Cat, and Patrick Still Lives.

Wish they didn't have horrible Hodge covers 

It's the inside that counts... 

And, if it helps, those are the slipcovers. Usually, the actual cover art is different.

Love the theme.

I paid for the film certificate and it seems that Italians have the rights for the whole world:
