It redefined the giallo, birthed the slasher genre and remains “the film that changed the face of horror forever” (DVD Talk). Now Severin Films brings 3 separate versions – The English Release, The Original Italian Release and The Italian Re-Release – of this “brutal” (Little White Lies), “disturbing” (Screen Anarchy) and “brilliant” (Slant Magazine) classic from writer/director/cinematographer/maestro Mario Bava to UHD for the first time: When a wealthy countess is murdered for her bayfront real estate, it will lead to the systematic slaughter of ruthless developers, greedy heirs and bad neighbors. Claudine Auger (THUNDERBALL), Luigi Pistilli (YOUR VICE IS A LOCKED ROOM…) and Laura Betti (HATCHET FOR THE HONEYMOON) star in “a film of unbridled ferocity that still shocks today” (Mondo Digital) – also known as BLOOD BATH, TWITCH OF THE DEATH NERVE, CARNAGE and LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT PART II – featuring landmark gore effects by 3x Oscar winner Carlo Rambaldi (ALIEN) and an equally brilliant score by Stelvio Cipriani (BARON BLOOD).

ADAM AND EVE
THE WORLDWIDE DISC PREMIERE
In the beginning there was heaven and earth, then man and woman. Soon, Adam (Mark Gregory of THE BRONX WARRIORS and the THUNDER trilogy) and Eve (blonde beauty Andrea Goldman in her only film role) were frolicking nude in The Garden of Eden. But thanks to ‘80s ItaloSleaze logic, Eve’s eating of the forbidden fruit will beget a maelstrom of shame, guilt, hot sex, angry pterodactyls, crazed cannibals and more key prophecies from The Book of Genesis that you never learned in Sunday School. Pierangelo Pozzato (VIOLENCE IN A WOMEN’S PRISON) co-stars in this “cocktail of Italian movie crazy” (B&S About Movies) – also known as ADAM AND EVE VS. THE CANNIBALS – produced by Enzo Doria (TENTACLES, BEYOND THE DOOR) and directed by Luigi Rosso (BLUE ISLAND) from a screenplay co-written by Jaime Comas Gil (THE SHARK HUNTER) and an original story by God, now scanned in 4K from the original camera negative recently discovered in the Vatican Apostolic Archives.

THE DEVIL’S RAIN
THE WORLDWIDE UHD PREMIERE
Take an all-star cast – including William Shatner, Ernest Borgnine, Eddie Albert, Keenan Wynn, Tom Skerritt, Ida Lupino and even John Travolta in his movie debut – at their most hellishly over-the-top. Add one of the most visually inventive filmmakers of the era – director Robert Fuest, of THE ABOMINABLE DR. PHIBES and THE FINAL PROGRAMME fame – and thrust them into “one of the strangest horror movies of all time” (Den of Geek), featuring Church of Satan founder Anton LaVey as Technical Advisor. Watch in infernal awe as it all hurtles towards the most eye-popping, flesh-melting finale in drive-in/grindhouse history. Now experience “the BEN-HUR of ‘70s Satan flicks” (Ravenous Monster) like never before, scanned in 4K from the original camera negative for the first time ever and oozing with over 4 hours of Special Features – including a new audio commentary – approved by Lucifer himself!

RETRIBUTION
THE WORLDWIDE UHD PREMIERE
2-DISC COLLECTION
NOW INCLUDES THE UNRATED VERSION SCANNED FROM THE ORIGINAL CAMERA NEGATIVE
WITH 3+ HOURS OF SPECIAL FEATURES
In 2021, Severin Films was proud to resurrect the “gory, bizarre and intense” (McBastard’s Mausoleum) forgotten classic from co-writer/director Guy Magar on Blu-ray. But in 2025, our search of a Los Angeles lab vault led to the discovery of the unclaimed negative for the thought-lost Unrated Version just days prior to its destruction. ‘80s splatter fans rejoice: Magar’s neon and viscera-soaked saga of possession, vengeance and carnage has never looked or sounded more harrowing. Dennis Lipscomb (EYES OF FIRE), Leslie Wing (THE FRIGHTENERS), Suzanne Snyder (WEIRD SCIENCE) and Hoyt Axton (GREMLINS) star in this “relentless squishy joy that makes us angry we’ve lived this long without having seen it” (Bleeding Skull), now on 2 discs with both the Unrated and Theatrical Versions scanned in 4K from their original camera negatives and over 3 hours of Special Features.

LOOKIN’ ITALIAN
THE WORLDWIDE BLU-RAY PREMIERE
Seven years after unleashing his horror classic RETRIBUTION, filmmaker Guy Magar rolled the dice to write, produce and direct the low-budget mob drama he described as “a tribute to Martin Scorsese” and which introduced an unknown Matt LeBlanc only months before landing his breakout role in Friends: Having survived a New York City shootout gone horrifically wrong, a former mafioso (Jay Acovone of Beauty and the Beast and Stargate SG-1) is now living a quiet life working in a Los Angeles used bookstore. But when his reckless nephew (LeBlanc) gets involved with local gang culture, they’re both dragged into an unforgiving urban jungle where fear is weakness, vengeance is destiny and family bonds can never be broken. Three-time Grammy-winning soul legend Lou Rawls co-stars – with Denise Richards in one of her earliest film roles – in “Matt LeBlanc’s lost movie, featuring the young actor like you’ve never seen him before” (Inside Edition), now scanned in 4K from the original camera negative with 2 hours of Special Features that include a long-unseen 1993 on-set interview with LeBlanc.
