Severin in the UK

[The Reaper Man@Cult Labs]

Now that Severin have moved into the uk market,does anyone know if their upcoming releases of DEVIL HUNTER and BLOODY MOON will be uncut,or would I be better importing the U.S. discs?

Play have both films down as uncut so it seems that they will be as Play's info is usually correct in this area.

Even so neither film has appeared on the BBFC site yet so we still await positive confirmation. It should appear next week. Play usually get their info from the BBFC or the distributor regarding an uncut status.

I can see no reason why Devil Hunter should not be complete.

Thanks Angel.

Of the former BBFC cuts to Bloody Moon the snake killing is the only one that would have been a problem. Their policy appears to have slightly mellowed on scenes like this now though, and the fact that it's a quick kill (unlike the one in Race With The Devil) should be enough to pass it unscathed.

I can't see problems with The Devil Hunter either, unless the BBFC reject it as being dangerously tripe (which it is).

Their Devil Hunter and Bloody Moon releases will be the same as the American release (NTSC included), much like their Felicity and Vanessa discs.

What? is a great laugh for fans of Polanski. Also the only Severin title not to have a US release.

A review for the U.S Severin release of Bloody Moon here.

Both appeared on the BBFC recent decisions section today.No mention of cuts to either.Devil Hunter was submitted as El Canibal.

I can't quite see the same BBFC-uncut status being granted to the 3rd Franco video nasty. Namely Women Behind Bars.

Nevertheless, it's good news that The Devil Hunter and Bloody Moon have passed unscathed. I already own the Shock DVD release of Bloody Moon which was released in Holland yonks ago. Although that disc has sound sych problems in the first few minutes and some snippets missing due to print damage I don't think I'll be upgrading. Personally I've always found Bloody Moon to be one of the more tedious Franco films.

I will however be buying the UK Devil Hunter as opposed to the US one to show my support for Severin's decision to venture into the UK marketplace.

I'm very pleased to see Severin entering the UK market and hopefully they'll deliver some great stuff to UK fans. I'll definitely be picking up Bloody Moon and Devil Hunter, as I haven't got these yet. I'm also an unashamed Franco fan, which some people find unfathomable.
