The Hand That Feeds the Dead will be released on Blu-ray and DVD on January 19 via Full Moon Features. The 1974 Italian horror film stars Klaus Kinski.

Sergio Garrone (SS Experiment Love Camp) and Yilmaz Duru co-direct from a script by Garrone. Katia Christine, Carmen Silva, Erol Tas, Marzia Damon, and Ayhan Isik round out the cast.

The Hand That Feeds the Dead has been newly remastered in high definition from the original 35mm negative with 5.1 surround and 2.0 stereo audio options. No special features are included.

Klaus Kinski stars as Professor Nijinski, whose work with experimental skin grafts with his mentor has been aborted by a lab fire that has left his wife Tania (Katia Christine) now hideously burned, her face a bloody mass of flayed flesh and tissue. Nijinski vows to continue his research, venturing into the village with his hypnotized henchman (Erol Tas) to kidnap and murder local young woman and remove their skin, transplanting it onto his tortured wife's ruined skull. Will Nijinkski get away with his hideous crimes and bring his beloved back to her previous luscious luster? Or will the long arm of the law put an end to his tirade of murder and mad science?
