WOLF BLOOD (1925)
A Heritage Horror Reimagined for the Modern Viewer by Teatroformattivo Film!
We are proud to present the definitive restoration of Wolf Blood: A Tale of the Forest (1925), one of the most historically significant American silent films exploring the theme of lycanthropy and the psychological horror of transformation.
This is more than a simple re-release; it is a vital archival and artistic project designed to introduce this foundational work of horror to a new generation.
This edition features a meticulous HD digital restoration derived from the best surviving archival prints, minimizing visual degradation, frame damage, and emulsion flaws. The goal was to recover the film’s original, stark cinematography and preserve its unique visual texture.
As the oldest surviving feature film to deal explicitly with a werewolf-themed transformation, Wolf Blood offers crucial insight into the nascent stages of American cinematic horror, predating Universal's classic monster cycle. Its psychological focus on identity crisis, rather than overt supernatural transformation, is surprisingly modern.
The New Score Emotional Depth & Signature Sound: The film is presented with a brand new, original musical score composed and performed by Gianluca Testa. The music moves far beyond traditional silent-era piano accompaniment, using contemporary orchestration and sound design to amplify the film’s central conflict: the descent of Dick Bannister into madness after receiving a wolf blood transfusion.
The score by Gianluca Testa is designed to enhance the psychological thriller elements, making the 1925 drama feel immediate and tense for modern audiences who crave sophisticated horror and genre precursors, providing a unique selling point for this release.
The film's historical relevance makes it an ideal candidate for film studies courses and archival collections, opening an additional, high-value distribution channel.
