“Siege” is an extremely effective home invasion thriller. The film was made in the Eighties in Canada, but is still politically relevant. Severin Films have provided the film on Blu-ray with a strong video transfer.
“Deep Blood” is a masterclass in inept filmmaking. Stilted dialogue, poor plotting, and terrible acting contribute to this indescribable sharksploitation classic. Severin Films have given the film a proper release.
“Cruel Jaws” is a jaw dropping work of boldfaced plagiarism. One of the most infamous and enjoyable “Jaws” ripoffs, it was actually released as “Jaws 5” in some territories. Severin Films released this cinematic gift on Blu-ray.
“Day of the Animals” is an entertaining Natural Horror film from William Girdler. The best aspect is Leslie Nielsen playing against type as a sociopathic jerk. Severin Films has given the film a deluxe release.
Featuring an introduction by film scholar Troy Howarth, author of “Splintered Visions: Lucio Fulci and His Films” –
“Zombie 3” is the ill fated follow up to Fulci’s classic “Zombie.” When Fulci became too ill to finish the film, Bruno Mattei and Claudio Fragasso stepped in. Severin Films have given the film an excellent release.
“Day of the Beast” by Spanish filmmaker Alex de la Iglesia is a fantastic thriller and dark comedy revolving around madcap religious antics, fascism, and the Apocalypse. The Severin Films 4K UHD release is a wonderful way to view the film.
“Perdita Durango” is one hell of a wild ride from Spanish filmmaker Alex de la Iglesia starring Rosie Perez, Javier Bardem, and James Gandolfini. Severin Films has given the film a true uncut release in UHD.
“Nosferatu in Venice” is a nearly incomprehensible film that was besieged by the antics of actor Klaus Kinski. Severin Films has given the film a great technical presentation and one of the best special feature documentaries we have seen this year.
“The Stunt Man” is a well loved film from 1980 by director Richard Rush. Starring Peter O’Toole in one of his best performances alongside Steve Railsback and Barbara Hershey, it still holds up as a surreal and satirical comedy about filmmaking. Severin gave the film a release in 2011.
Shock Treatment is at once an effective thriller and a clever social commentary. Alain Delon and Annie Girardot are both great in their roles. The film benefits from lush cinematography by Jacques Robin. Severin Films have released the film on Blu-ray.
