Severin Problems
By lngway2go | October 9, 2008
Several of Severin Films DVD releases have been delayed until October 28th. As reported here earlier Franco’s Bloody Moon and Devil Hunter were meant to be released in late July, but problems with each, as reported on Severin’s website, created delays. These delays were for the right reasons, and the folks as Severin should be commended for ensuring we had the best quality and most complete versions possible. The print of Bloody Moon was missing some violence, but it was eventually found on a German version of the film after much scouring, and with Devil Hunter, they almost lost their far superior French language track, but all is well and we should have both films later this month. In The Folds of the Flesh was also delayed, and will be out in October as well, so it looks to be a good month!
British company, Salvation Films, are releasing an extremely rare Jean Rollin film, Les Échappées (The Runaways) on 31st March 2009 (26th January in the UK). The print is from the original negatives and the transfer was supervised by Rollin himself. This is a very exciting release. Échappées tells the story of two girls who escape an correctional facility for children, and was originally released in 1981. Salvation are also re-release Rollin’s masterpiece, Fascinaton, which as been long out of print, on October 28th.
