Severin Films

[M Sanderson]

Awesome to hear about the Soavis. Do we think Arrivederci, Amore Ciao! might even appear one day?

His stunning thriller, based on a great novel (basically Italy's answer to Jim Thompson's The Killer Inside Me).

Severin have some amazing choices of titles. You ever wonder if the TV thriller Uno Bianco might rear its head...

[dwk]

Severin has been doing some Italian television, so I guess the Soavi tv movies could be possible. (Honestly, I keep expecting Severin to release Argento's Door into Darkness series.)

You are right about Arrivederci, Amore Ciao, it is fantastic and I'd love to replace the Thai DVD with a Blu-ray (this would be a great title for Radiance to tackle.)

[Mr Sausage]

What’s Soavi’s style like in his post-break work? Is it still wild and singular, or did it calm down?

I do hope The Sect is next up. My go-to definition of a fascinating mess. There are enough interesting ideas and arresting images for three films, but no one seems to know what to do with them all. So they abut each other with no clear organization until the film winds down into a kind of ending. The Church and Cemetery Man were somewhat like that, too, but the former had a baked in coherence from its limited setting and origin in the Demons series, and the latter worked as vignettes surrounding a central character’s weird life. The Sect lacks any organization such that it comes to resemble a lumbering incoherent nightmare. Its worst moments are actually its final third, when it tries to find some kind of ending and opts for a few genre conventions. It’s better when it’s a mad assemblage of Soavi’s imaginings.

[Peacock]

Zombie Holocaust is one of the worst of the cannibal films. Hilarious that it’s getting a UHD!

Count me in for Umbracle though! Has anyone here seen it?

[Adam X]

It depends on which version of ZH you’re talking about. Zombie Holocaust is actually a decent, trashy cannibal/zombie film. Not good, but not bad either.

It’s the Doctor Butcher M.D. version that’s truly terrible. But either one is still far from being “one of the worst”. You need to dig a bit deeper before you hit bottom.

[Peacock]

I’ve only seen Zombie Holocaust, now i’m afraid of checking out Doctor Butcher MD!

To be fair I haven’t seen the Franco cannibal films or Cannibal Terror so I’m sure there are worse out there… but any zombie movie where the zombies behave like henchmen rather than the undead is going to be bad. Zombie Holocaust is comfortably at the bottom of my 11 title list. It’s still good fun though!

lumbering incoherent nightmare - lovely description of The Sect!

I do love The Church, in particular for its poetry of machinery, the weird alchemical mechanisms that gradually reveal demonic horrors and eventually - to quote a Richard Burton film - "bring the entire edifice down on their unworthy heads." I feel this helps the film overcome its problems. The movie did lurch a bit when it introduced the characters who are trapped in the church but seemed to end on a satisfying note of eerie poetry.

Danza Macabra Vol. Two: The Italian Gothic Collection [8-Disc 4K UHD + Blu-ray Box Set]
3 CLASSIC FILMS.
1 LANDMARK MINI-SERIES.
Rediscovered. Restored. Reclaimed.

In this second collection of Italian Gothic shockers, you’re invited to grab your candelabra and enter cobweb-shrouded worlds of violence, madness and sexual deviance that remain unmatched in genre history: Gothic goddess Barbara Steele stars in Antonio Margheriti’s certified masterpiece CASTLE OF BLOOD and its Italian version DANZA MACABRA, both restored and scanned in 4K and presented in UHD for the first time ever. JEKYLL is 1969’s award-winning four-part RAI-TV sceneggiati from writer/director/star Giorgio Albertazzi that contemporizes the classic tale of man’s darkest impulses. Writer/director Corrado Farina reinvents the Dracula legend as a modern-day capitalist conspiracy with his startling and long out-of-print 1971 debut THEY HAVE CHANGED THEIR FACE. And a sizzling Rosalba Neri is seduced by Satan himself in 1972’s THE DEVIL’S LOVER, finally available restored and uncut. All four titles are now presented in their North American Premieres, newly mastered from the best available elements with over 13 collective hours of Special Features.

Discs 1-3: CASTLE OF BLOOD (1964)

It was begun by Sergio Corbucci (DJANGO), completed by Antonio Margheriti (THE LONG HAIR OF DEATH) and remains one of the true masterpieces of Gothic Horror. Now both versions – the Italian DANZA MACABRA and the U.S. release CASTLE OF BLOOD – can be experienced like never before: When a cynical journalist accepts a wager that he won’t survive the night in a haunted castle, it will unlock an odyssey of sexual torment, undead vengeance and a dark seductress (the legendary Barbara Steele) who surrenders the gravest of pleasures. Georges Rivière (THE VIRGIN OF NUREMBERG) co-stars in “a classic cornerstone of the EuroHorror Renaissance” (DVD Savant), scanned in 4k from the original negative and restored by Cinématographique Lyre in collaboration with Severin Films, with 3+ hours of new and archival Special Features that include a selected scene commentary by Steele.

Discs 4 & 5: JEKYLL (1969)

In 1969, Italian actor/writer/director Giorgio Albertazzi – best known to international audiences as the star of LAST YEAR AT MARIENBAD – took Robert Louis Stevenson’s gothic novella and transformed it into a four-part contemporary allegory of duality, depravity and man’s darkest impulses: When a series of brutal attacks are committed by a lunatic named Edward Hyde, the investigation leads to molecular biologist Henry Jekyll. But have the doctor’s unorthodox experiments unlocked even greater horrors? Massimo Girotti (BARON BLOOD, LAST TANGO IN PARIS), Ursula Davis (AN ANGEL FOR SATAN) and Marina Berti (NIGHT TRAIN MURDERS) co-star in this award-winning sceneggiati featuring stark black & white cinematography by future Poliziottesci maestro Stelvio Massi, now presented from RAI-TV tape masters with new English subtitles for the first time ever.

Disc Specs:
Runtime: 262 mins
Audio: Italian Mono / Optional English Subtitles

Special Features:

Disc 6: THEY HAVE CHANGED THEIR FACE (1971)

Though he made only two feature films, writer/director/novelist Corrado Farina (BABA YAGA) rocked the Italian horror genre with his “astounding” (Taliesin Meets The Vampires) and long out-of-print 1971 debut: A mid-level automotive company employee is summoned to the mountain villa of owner Giovanni Nosferatu (Adolfo Celi of THUNDERBALL and DANGER: DIABOLIK fame) only to discover a glossy netherworld where capitalism is the new vampirism, consumers are its unwitting victims and escape may be impossible. Giuliano Disperati (VIOLENT ROME) and Geraldine Hooper (DEEP RED) co-star in this startling reinvention of the Dracula mythos co-written by Giulio Berruti (KILLER NUN) and influenced by Farina’s earlier career as an advertising executive, now scanned in 2K from the best-existing 35mm elements – approved by his son, RAI film critic and preservationist Alberto Farina – for the first time ever in America.

Disc 7: THE DEVIL’S LOVER (1972)

Previously available only in edited versions and poor-quality transfers, it remains one of the most obscure and bizarre Italian gothics of the ‘70s: When a trio of free-spirited young women – led by a smoldering Rosalba Neri of LADY FRANKENSTEIN fame – insist on spending the night in a castle rumored to be owned by the Devil himself, their cobweb-and-candelabra lark triggers a nightmare of lust, violence, vampirism and the ultimate ecstasy of Satanic seduction. Edmund Purdom (FRANKENSTEIN’S CASTLE OF FREAKS), Robert Woods (COUNTESS PERVERSE) and Carla Mancini (ERIKA) co-star in this unique shocker “taken from the theatrical work of the Grand Guignol” – also known as LUCIFERA: DEMON LOVER – written/directed by Paolo Lombardo (THE EMBALMER), produced by Dick Randall (PIECES) and featuring a soundtrack by Elvio Monti (CRISTIANA DEVIL NUN), now scanned uncut in 2K from the vault negative for the first time ever in America.

[brundlefly]

Willing to give the other titles a spin when this is at sale price, but if you're going to make 3/7ths of your box set about Castle of Blood it seems a no-brainer to include Web of the Spider. I don't know what the state of Garagehouse is or if any of their discs are technically still in print, but their disc is unavailable enough that it seems like an opportunity to sublicense.

[M Sanderson]

Does anyone have any thoughts on The Unscarred. I’m curious, but the trailer doesn’t really inspire much interest. It looks like a fairly standard late ‘90’s DTV chamber piece.

I'm a die hard Giovinazzo fan, due to both his books and films. And I remember admiring this unusually cast character study enough to snap up the film the minute it went up on Black Friday. It doesn't go to any of the extremes you'd expect from the director (even the grisly beatings and shootouts that are so gradually built up to in No Way Home, from for example a specific milieu). It was too long ago for me to provide a review or summary. But I liked it a lot and points towards Giovinazzo's interest in Germany (his work on German TV drama and also an explosive novel that Tony Scott wanted to adapt, Potzdamer Platz).

[Adam X]

I don’t really need the film to be violent or go to any “extremes” to be be interested. I guess I just meant the trailer makes it look conventionally glossy & underwritten. I wouldn’t exactly say I’m a fan of his work but what I’ve seen interests me. I think I’ve already given Severin enough money this month (I do wish I could’ve bought the snow globe though), so another time maybe. Thanks for the reply.

I don’t think you can. It was a limited run, maybe if you email Severin they’ll tell you if they have a discounted copy but like sabbath said probably not.
