Description

THE CARD PLAYER 4K-UHD [High Dynamic Range] 

In The Card Player, Dario Argento, the undisputed Master of Horror, reinvents the giallo for the digital age, channelling the anxieties of a newly networked world into the taut framework of a macabre police procedural.

Argento’s career-long obsession with sight, surveillance, and the camera as an instrument of violation finds a startling new form: the webcam as a murder weapon and the screen as a crime scene. It is an unflinching reckoning with horror in an age where anyone can watch anything – and anyone can be watched.

When a sadistic, faceless killer begins abducting young women across Rome, he issues a monstrous challenge to the police: play high-stakes poker online via webcam. Win, and the victim is released. Lose, and her execution is streamed in real-time. Inspector Anna (Stefania Rocca – Nirvana, One Way) and Irish Interpol Agent John Brennan (Liam Cunningham – Game of Thrones) must hunt a “ghost in the machine” predator who treats murder like a spectator sport.

Part of the “Evolutionary Argentos” – this overlooked relentlessly tense horrific thriller reveals the Master at his most contemporary, confronting our rapidly changing world. Shameless Films is proud to present an exclusive new 4K HDR Dolby Vision encode of the definitive restored version, finally honouring the director’s original vision.
