{"product_id":"the-card-player-4kw-slipcover","title":"The Card Player (4K)(w\/Slipcover)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn Rome, Inspector Anna Mari receives a macabre surprise for her birthday when an email lands in her inbox from someone calling themself “The Card Player”, and claiming to be the one responsible for the recent kidnapping of a British tourist. In a sadistic twist, the kidnapper challenges the authorities to a game of online poker to determine whether the young woman lives or dies. When the Police Commissioner forbids his team to go through with the game, the maniac brutally slaughters the tourist before their very eyes via webcam, later dumping the body in a river. As more and more women are abducted from the streets of the Italian capital and subjected to the same treatment, Anna Mari joins forces with Irish policeman John Brennan and young poker whizz-kid Remo in an attempt to beat The Card Player at their own deadly game. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA later giallo offering from the master of the form, Dario Argento’s (Deep Red, The Bird with the Crystal Plumage) THE CARD PLAYER takes all the familiar trappings of the genre and plants them firmly in an early 2000s milieu, complete with a fittingly pulsing, contemporary electronic score by Claudio Simonetti (Suspiria, Tenebrae). Co-scripted by regular Argento collaborator Franco Ferrini (Phenomena, Demons) and featuring gruesome corpse special effects from Sergio Stivaletti (Cemetery Man), Vinegar Syndrome is delighted to present THE CARD PLAYER in its world UHD debut, newly restored in 4K from the original camera negative and loaded with a full deck of both new and archival extras.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003edirected by: Dario Argento\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003estarring: Stefania Rocca, Liam Cunningham, Silvio Muccino, Adalberto Maria Merli, Claudio Santamaria, Fiore Argento\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2003 \/ 103 min \/ 1.85:1 \/ English, Italian DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAdditional info:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003e2-disc Set: 4K Ultra HD \/ Region A Blu-ray\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003e4K UHD presented in Dolby Vision High-Dynamic-Range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eNewly scanned \u0026amp; restored in 4K from its 35mm original camera negative\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003ePresented in its original English language 5.1 surround soundtrack, as well as its Italian language 5.1 surround soundtrack with newly translated English subtitles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eCommentary track with film historians Troy Howarth and Nathaniel Thompson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003ePlaying the Game (27 min) - a brand new interview with actress Stefania Rocca\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eDigital Nightmare (19 min) - a brand new interview with composer Claudio Simonetti\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eLike in War (10 min) - a brand new interview with make-up artist Sergio Stivaletti\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eSharp Cuts (20 min) - a brand new interview with editor Walter Fasano\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eWatch Me When I Kill (18 min) - an archival interview with director\/screenwriter Dario Argento\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eTaking Risks (9 min) - an archival interview with screenwriter Franco Ferrini\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eA Chip and a Chair (12 min) - an archival interview with set designer Antonello Geleng\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eGame Over (8 min) - an archival interview with actress Fiore Argento\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eArchival behind-the-scenes featurette (9 min)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eReversible sleeve artwork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eEnglish SDH subtitles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eUPC \u0026gt; 810161484669\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFormat \u0026gt; \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLabel \u0026gt; \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShop online at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vinegar Syndrome","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46864245326045,"sku":"810161484669","price":46.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/The_Card_Player_LTD_Front_2500x_png.webp?v=1760206933","url":"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/products\/the-card-player-4kw-slipcover","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
