Severin Films Announces NEW April Release Featuring 9 DISC BLOODY LEGEND COLLECTION



SEVERIN CELEBRATES THE LIFE & CAREER OF ‘80s U.K. ICON
CLIFF TWEMLOW WITH INTERVISION PICTURE CORP. BOX SET
BLOODY LEGEND: THE COMPLETE CLIFF TWEMLOW COLLECTION Includes 11 Films on 9 Blu-rays 
with 13+ Hours of Special Features and Bonus CD

Severin Films honors iconic Mancunian filmmaker Cliff Twemlow with BLOODY LEGEND: THE COMPLETE CLIFF TWEMLOW COLLECTION. This unprecedented 9-disc release from Intervision Picture Corp. – Severin’s showcase label for shot-on-video classics – embraces the DIY spirit of the ‘80s SOV revolution and honors the mini-media empire forged by Twemlow.  

Cliff Twemlow was a nightclub bouncer, composer, novelist, actor, filmmaker and unsung ‘80s U.K. legend. For more than a decade, the unstoppable Manchester native – along with a devoted team of local doormen, martial artists, variety performers, models, girlfriends, gym friends, family members and B-listers – created his own low-budget shot-on-video empire via a bollock-bashing oeuvre of gangster films, horror movies, spy thrillers, sci-fi epics and beyond. This first-ever Intervision Picture Corp. box set brings together every film by “The Orson Welles of Eccles” – including his infamous Section 3 ‘video nasty’ G.B.H./GRIEVOUS BODILY HARM – sourced from their original tape masters, as well as 2023’s “sweet, moving, and very, very funny” (Deadline Hollywood) documentary MANCUNIAN MAN: THE LEGENDARY LIFE OF CLIFF TWEMLOW directed by Jake West, plus unfinished projects, over 13 hours of Special Features, a CD featuring Cliff’s music from placements that include DAWN OF THE DEAD and much more. 

Pre-orders for BLOODY LEGEND: THE COMPLETE CLIFF TWEMLOW COLLECTION – along with The Bloody Legendary Bundle that also includes new paperbacks of Cliff’s memoir The Tuxedo Warrior and his novels The Pike and The Beast of Kane – begin April 17th at the Severin Webstore.
