LOS ANGELES, CA, March 29th, 2013 – Severin Films have announced the long awaited June 11th Blu-ray + DVD combo US debut release of the controversial shocker HOUSE ON STRAW HILL and the creepy classic THE HOUSE OF SEVEN CORPSES.
HOUSE ON STRAW HILL: Banned
in Britain as a Video Nasty for thirty years! A shockingly violent and
erotic tale of seduction, brutality and revenge. Cult movie icon Udo
Kier (MARK OF THE DEVIL, FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEIN)
stars as a successful novelist suffering from writer’s block, who rents
a country cottage with his wife (British 70s sex sensation Fiona
Richmond) in the hope of finding inspiration. But the arrival of a
sensual secretary, played by Linda Hayden (BLOOD ON SATAN’S CLAW, TASTE THE BLOOD OF DRACULA)
sets in motion a chain of events that culminate in an unrestrained
explosion of sex and savagery. Film elements were long thought lost or
destroyed on this sleazy gem but the original camera negative was
unearthed in a barn in rural England and painstakingly restored for this
first official uncut release anywhere in the world. Director commentary
and cast and crew interviews will round out the package.
THE HOUSE OF SEVEN CORPSES: “Eight graves! Seven bodies!” screamed the ads, “One killer… and he’s already dead!” Hollywood legends John Ireland (RED RIVER, SATAN’S CHEERLEADERS), John Carradine (THE GRAPES OF WRATH, VAMPIRE HOOKERS) and Howard Hughes’ paramour Faith Domergue (CULT OF THE COBRA,THIS ISLAND EARTH)
star in this much-loved ‘70s shocker about a film crew shooting an
occult drama in a sinister manor with its own grisly history of family
bloodshed. Previously released with often badly cropped, censored and
muddy transfers, the film will finally be available in HD, transferred
from original vault materials and featuring an exclusive archive
interview with legendary horror icon Carradine (a DVD/Blu-Ray first as far as we’re aware) and a revealing new audio commentary with Co-Producer Gary Kent & Film Historian Lars Nilsen.
