The Children of Violent Rome: Terror Vision Sets May Blu-ray Release
A new Blu-ray and 4K restoration of Renato Savino's The Children of Violent Rome, slated for May 2025
Terror Vision is delighted to announce its latest addition to the Blu-ray collection: The Children of Violent Rome, directed by Renato Savino and making its worldwide disc debut in late May 2025. This Italian crime drama, originally released in 1976, is set against the backdrop of the gritty underbelly of 1970s Rome, portraying the harsh reality faced by Neo-Nazi youth living amid societal decay.
The film follows a group of disenchanted teenagers living on the outskirts of Rome, whose lives are intricately interwoven with violence, crime, and the power-laden environment. As they navigate their perilous existence, they find themselves ensnared in an intricate web of lawlessness and rebellion. Director Renato Savino expertly combines raw realism with emotional depth in this unrelenting portrayal of a generation trapped between survival and devastation.
Children of Violent Rome's new 4K scan from the original camera negative, which was once thought lost, delivers the film's stunning cinematography with exceptional clarity and depth. Included with this release are exclusive special features such as interviews with key filmmakers and actors, as well as commentaries by prominent film historians.
