'Danza Macabra Vol. Three: The Spanish Gothic Collection' - 4-Disc Blu-ray Box Set pre-order available from Severin Films direct - $75.00 Release date: June "Spain?s tradition of Gothic Horror ? particularly during the Franco dictatorship ? was characterized by daring concepts, lush visuals, extreme sexuality and a startling aesthetic all its own. These four classic shockers from the 1970s represent the genre at its most audacious: In NECROPHAGOUS, the debut feature by writer/director Miguel Madrid, a fractured family in a crumbling castle conceals a grisly graveyard secret. The anthology film CAKE OF BLOOD ? never previously available outside of Spain ? presents a quartet of supernatural tales by four young filmmakers. Hammer Films director John Gilling brings his inimitable style to the occult thriller in CROSS OF THE DEVIL. And a terminally ill woman is enticed by eternal life in Le?n Klimovsky?s vampire masterwork, THE NIGHT OF THE WALKING DEAD. Each film in this collection has been scanned from its original negative ? with over 8 hours of Special Features ? for the first time ever in America. " Disc 1: NECROPHAGOUS (1971) [/color] "The most misunderstood Spanish gothic shocker of the early ?70s can now be reassessed like never before: A young nobleman (Bill Curran) returns to his crumbling family castle, only to learn that his wife has died giving birth to their stillborn child. But why is her coffin empty? What follows is a uniquely told shocker of grief, lust, dark secrets and the hungers of the grave. Frank Bra?a (PIECES), Victor Israel (THE HOUSE THAT SCREAMED) and Beatriz Elorrieta (BLOOD HUNT) co-star in this debut feature by writer/director Miguel Madrid (THE KILLER OF DOLLS) ? also known as THE BUTCHER OF BINBROOK and released in America by Independent-International as GRAVEYARD OF HORROR ? now scanned in 4K from the recently discovered negative for the first time ever" Special Features & Specs:
Disc 2: CAKE OF BLOOD (1971) "With Spanish cinema still under the oppressive Franco regime, four filmmakers banded together to create a horror anthology that examined classic themes through transgressive perceptions: Directed by Jos? Mar?a Vall?s, TAROT stars Juli?n Ugarte (ALL THE COLORS OF THE DARK) in a grim tale of fanaticism set in the Middle Ages. Eusebio Poncela (THE CANNIBAL MAN) and Marisa Paredes (ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER) star in VICTOR FRANKENSTEIN, a unique take on Mary Shelley?s classic directed by Emilio Mart?nez-L?zaro (THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BED). TERROR AMONG CHRISTIANS, directed by Francesc Bellmunt, is a jolting vampire allegory set during Roman times. Jaime Ch?varri ? co-writer of VAMPYROS LESBOS and future icon of New Spanish Cinema ? directs the twisted ghost story THE DANCE OR EMOTIONAL SURVIVALS starring Luis Ciges (THE CREATURE). Never available outside of Spain, CAKE OF BLOOD is now scanned in 4K from the original negative for the first time ever" Special Features & Specs:
Disc 3: CROSS OF THE DEVIL (1974) "In the early ?70s, Spanish horror icon Jacinto Molina (aka Paul Naschy) wrote a screenplay for a Knights Templar film to compete with the popular BLIND DEAD series. Meanwhile, Hammer Films director John Gilling ? whose hits for the UK studio included THE PLAGUE OF THE ZOMBIES and THE REPTILE ? had retired to Spain. Molina shared his script with Gilling, who took over the project without Molina. The rarely seen result is a sumptuous tale of supernatural horror in which a writer (Ramiro Oliveros of THE PYJAMA GIRL CASE) plagued by violent nightmares investigates the murder of his sister by an ancient occult order. Carmen Sevilla (NO ONE HEARD THE SCREAM), Emma Cohen (THE CANNIBAL MAN) and Eduardo Fajardo (THE KILLER MUST KILL AGAIN) co-star in Gilling?s final film as director, now scanned in 4K from the negative with English subtitles for the first time ever." Special Features & Specs:
Disc 4: THE NIGHT OF THE WALKING DEAD (1975) "Though best known for his collaborations with Spanish horror star Jacinto Molina/Paul Naschy, Argentinian director Le?n Klimovsky also crafted several of Spain?s finest vampire films of the ?70s, especially this ?magnificent? (Taliesin Meets The Vampires) 1975 gothic classic: In a 19th century village ruled by superstition, a vulnerable young woman (Emma Cohen of HORROR RISES FROM THE TOMB) is seduced into an aristocratic family of the sensuous undead. Carlos Ballesteros (Jos? Ram?n Larraz? THE VOYEUR) and Barta Barri (THE PEOPLE WHO OWN THE DARK) co-star in this sexy/stylish/violent shocker ? also known as STRANGE LOVE OF THE VAMPIRES and ripe for rediscovery after decades of edited prints and bad transfers ? now scanned in 2K from the negative for the first time ever."

Hey guys, has anyone here ordered straight from Severin US recently? I'm tempted by Game of Clones set, but not sure how well they ship to the UK these days and have never ordered directly. Alternately, do we think Game of Clones will get a UK release? If so I'll hold off ordering. Severin have now put out 3 UK releases, their Butcher Baker set was great. |
