Severin continues to do the devil's work by releasing grindhouse classics that I never thought would see the light of day on Blu-ray. Following their release of the Blood Island trilogy last year, Severin has announced the "Hemisphere Box of Horrors," collecting five titles from Hemisphere Pictures, including Torture Chamber of Dr. Sadism, starring Christopher Lee!
"On April 9th, Severin Films is steering the ship beyond Blood Island and straight into the heart of darkness. The Hemisphere Box Of Horrors is bursting at the seams with all the wild, unhinged madness you can handle, with each film newly scanned in 2K/4K from the best – and often only – complete elements available.
Though best known for their legendary BLOOD ISLAND Trilogy, the Philippine/U.S. production/distribution company Hemisphere Pictures was also responsible for some of the most provocative and insane films of the ‘60s and ‘70s drive-in/grindhouse era. THE BLOOD DRINKERS and CURSE OF THE VAMPIRES are the still-potent masterpieces from The Father of Philippine Horror Gerry de Leon. BRAIN OF BLOOD is the all-star Grade Z classic from infamous exploitation auteur Al Adamson. THE BLACK CAT and TORTURE CHAMBER OF DR. SADISM – starring Christopher Lee and Tarzan – are Hemisphere’s two most extreme acquisitions for the company’s notorious double-feature packages.
THE BLACK CAT/TORTURE CHAMBER OF DR. SADISM is a Box Set Exclusive double feature. The Severin webstore is also including mini-posters of the box set artwork as a bonus for all those who order direct."
The only way to get all of these movies is to buy the box set, but Severin does have individual Blu-ray and DVDs for Brain of Blood, The Blood Drinkers, and Curse of the Vampires. To learn more about each release and special features, check out the trailer and links below!
