THE WORLDWIDE DISC PREMIERE OF THE LOST AMERICAN FOLK HORROR CLASSIC In 1983, acclaimed photographer Avery Crounse made his debut as writer/director with what is considered to be the seminal American folk horror film. Misunderstood by audiences and mishandled by distributors, it has remained virtually unseen until now: On the 18th-century frontier, an adulterous preacher and his followers flee to 'the promised land' only to enter a valley of lust, madness, pagan vengeance and hallucinatory terror. Dennis Lipscomb (RETRIBUTION), Guy Boyd (BODY DOUBLE) and Kerry Sherman (SATAN'S CHEERLEADERS) star in this ''extraordinary horror fantasy'' (The Psychotronic Video Guide) restored in 4K from the original negative with more than 2½ hours of Special Features that include the answer print of Crounse's original cut, CRYING BLUE SKY.

After an emotionally fragile painter miraculously survives a horrific suicide attempt, he discovers he may be possessed by a vengeful spirit. THE WORLDWIDE UHD PREMIERE TWO DISC COLLECTION NOW INCLUDES THE UNRATED VERSION SCANNED FROM THE ORIGINAL CAMERA NEGATIVE WITH 3+ HOURS OF SPECIAL FEATURES In 2021, Severin Films was proud to resurrect the "gory, bizarre and intense" (McBastard's Mausoleum) forgotten classic from co-writer/director Guy Magar on Blu-ray. But in 2025, our search of a Los Angeles lab vault led to the discovery of the unclaimed negative for the thought-lost Unrated Version just days prior to its destruction. '80s splatter fans rejoice: Magar's neon and viscera-soaked saga of possession, vengeance and carnage has never looked or sounded more harrowing. Dennis Lipscomb (EYES OF FIRE), Leslie Wing (THE FRIGHTENERS), Suzanne Snyder (WEIRD SCIENCE) and Hoyt Axton (GREMLINS) star in this "relentless squishy joy that makes us angry we've lived this long without having seen it" (Bleeding Skull), now on 2 discs with both the Unrated and Theatrical Versions scanned in 4K from their original camera negatives and over 3 hours of Special Features.
