The Drop of Water 16mm negative

The master for this release is a Cinema DCP. It’s about to be ready due to lab delays. Will post here when each release is ready just in case anyone wants to put a late time order to get one of the first batch prints 😉

But these are not negatives but positive images. Or did you reverse it in Photoshop?

Has anyone received a copy of this yet? If so, would love to see some pictures of the projected image. Thanks.

Hi Robert!

I ALREADY jumped on this and the CARTOON too!

Hello Osi,

Black Sabbath (I tre volti della paura), 1963 is considered a masterpiece. Directed by cult maestro Mario Bava it consists of 3 stories (or episodes). The Drop of Water is one of them and one the most beloved one for its atmosphere and build of tension. It has also a wonderful cinematography (Bava was DP himself but for this movie he only took the Director's seat). The Super 8 version is the full episode, not an abridgment, and includes front and end credits. The movie was very recently restored to its full glory and a 4K DCP of that restoration (2019) is the master for this release.

Hope this helps.

Ruben, I don't know the film. Was this an anthology type of horror film? You know, two or three separate stories for one feature film?

Scared me to death when I first saw this in a dark theater when I was 7 or 8 years old. Great images on that 16mm answer print !!

Ruben,

Thank you for posting these. I have a feeling those nightmares I mentioned will be coming back!

For all of you curious on how it looks, here's a glimpse with a few photos from the 16mm master negative... they look terrific, don't they?
