Release date: January 28

THE WORLDWIDE UHD/BLU-RAY PREMIERE AVAILABLE IN 4K AND HD FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER RESTORED UNCUT WITH 3+ HOURS OF SPECIAL FEATURES

Following the 'serious' features THE SEVEN MINUTES and BLACK SNAKE, this 1975 return to form written, photographed, edited, produced and directed by Russ Meyer remains perhaps his most over-the-top and savagely entertaining epic of all

When a hot-blooded wife (Shari Eubank) and a psychotic cop (a startling performance by Charles Napier of THE BLUES BROTHERS fame) come together, it will ignite a cross-country odyssey of violence, vengeance and relentless coitus

John Lazar (BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS), Uschi Digard (BENEATH THE VALLEY OF THE ULTRAVIXENS) and Haji (FASTER, PUSSYCAT! KILL! KILL!) co-star in Russ' "super-sexy live-action Road Runner cartoon" (Empire), now restored by Severin Films in conjunction with The Russ Meyer Trust and scanned in 4K from the original negative stored at The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences"

'Beneath The Valley Of The UltraVixens' (1979) - Pre-order available Severin Films direct for 4K UHD / Blu-Ray Combo - US$34.00 or Standalone Blu-Ray - US$27.00

Release date: January 28

THE WORLDWIDE UHD/BLU-RAY PREMIERE AVAILABLE IN 4K AND HD FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER RESTORED UNCUT WITH 3+ HOURS OF SPECIAL FEATURES

The final feature produced, photographed, edited and directed by Russ Meyer is a wicked take on Our Town, co-written by Meyer and Pulitzer Prize winner Roger Ebert (BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS)

Russ' latter-day muse Francesca 'Kitten' Natividad stars - along with Uschi Digard, Ann Marie, June Mack, Candy Samples and Russ himself - in this unwashed look at Small Town, U.S.A., complete with faith healers, war criminals, bosom buddies and the loin-girding quest for sexual salvation.

Because the original elements for BENEATH THE VALLEY OF THE ULTRAVIXENS had been stored in less-than-optimal conditions, Severin Films devoted months to the painstaking restoration of its weather-damaged negative before scanning it in 4K and compiling over 2 hours of new and archival footage, all with the blessing and cooperation of The Russ Meyer Trust."

[Nosferatu@Cult Labs]

I'm a big fan of Russ Meyer's films and have seen some of them many times. However, as it has been a long time since I watched my DVDs, and never on my 55 inch OLED TV, I'd need to revisit them to see if I want to upgrade the DVDs to one of the HD formats.
