New from Severin Films – FEAR IN THE PHILIPPINES: THE COMPLETE BLOOD ISLAND FILMS!

SEVERIN ENDS 2024 WITH CLASSIC CREATURE FEATURES

FEAR IN THE PHILIPPINES:
THE COMPLETE BLOOD ISLAND FILMS
NEWLY RESTORED WITH IMPROVED COLOR & AUDIO

All Four Films Scanned Uncut in 4K on Two-Disc Collection

Available For Pre-Order Now Exclusively at 

Between 1959 and 1971, Filipino filmmakers Eddie Romero and Gerry de León – along with Hemisphere Pictures marketing consultant Samuel M. Sherman – unleashed THE BLOOD ISLAND FILMS, a monsters-and-mayhem quartet that remains among the most deliriously schlocky classics in horror history. The two-disc set of all four films – scanned uncut in 4K with improved color and audio plus over 8 combined hours of special features – is available exclusively at the Severin Films Webstore with pre-order beginning today.

The Blood Island series launched with TERROR IS A MAN, a “quite terrifying” (The New York Times) take on The Island Of Dr. Moreau starring Francis Lederer (THE RETURN OF DRACULA). BRIDES OF BLOOD stars John Ashley (THE TWILIGHT PEOPLE) and Beverly Powers (SPEEDWAY) in a taboo-smashing orgy of violence, nudity and depraved nuptials. Ashley and Angelique Pettyjohn (THE CURIOUS FEMALE) star in MAD DOCTOR OF BLOOD ISLAND, “one of the greatest, nastiest, goriest films of the 1960s” (Dangerous Minds). BEAST OF BLOOD stars Ashley and Celeste Yarnall (THE VELVET VAMPIRE) in “the most exciting and aggressive of all the BLOOD ISLAND movies” (1000 Misspent Hours), newly scanned from a 35mm print by the Library of Congress.
