  • Severin Films Releasing The Blood Island Collection

    So it would seem, at least.

    "Cooool. After an informed tip off we did some archaeological digging with the help of our man on the ground in Paris and it appears we have unearthed this 35mm negative after decades of it being thought lost. Stay tuned."

      This is great. i am big fan of both Gerardo De Leon and Eddie Romero's cinema. All the entries in this series Bride Of Blood, Beast Of Blood, Terror Is A man are excellent. Looking forward to this on blu ray. Thanks for posting.

        This is fantastic, but I'll be sad when it comes out correctly framed and that chick's bush is cropped at the beginning.

            Severin has announced their Blood Island Trilogy boxset
            They've been called “defiantly lurid” (1000MisspentHours.com), “delightfully depraved” (FlickAttack.com) and “blood-soaked & naked broad-filled” (MrSkin.com). Their cult of fans is worldwide. And for more than fifty years, these four monster shockers from Filipino directors Gerry de Leon and Eddie Romero have stunned drive-in, grindhouse and VHS audiences, became the foundation of infamous exploitation distributors Hemisphere Pictures and Independent-International, and remain among the most insane/esteemed classics in horror history. Severin Films is now proud to present The BLOOD ISLAND Trilogy and its celebrated prequel, all featuring uncut scans from recently discovered film elements and oozing with all-new Special Features!

                  I enjoy all these movies but will wait for reviews, especially as Severin sometimes screw up the compression.

                      Yup, Beast is from 16mm, no wonder it's exclusive to the box.

                              Haven't seen TERROR IS A MAN before, but the other three look MUCH better than their DVD incarnations. I doubt we'll ever get a better presentation of these.
