Severin Films to Release Fucli’s Erotic Thriller ‘The Devil’s Honey!’
If you thought the Sax Man from The Lost Boys was sexy, you ain’t seen nothing yet!
Few filmmakers mean more to me than Lucio Fulci. I’ve often described the Godfather of Gore as pizza, because bad pizza is still better than no pizza. His films never fail to fascinate me. He has a style all his own that sets him apart from any other filmmaker to ever live. When you’re watching a Fulci film, you know you’re watching a Fulci film.
Fulci has a massive body of work and we’ll likely never see it all get proper home video releases, but it seems like every few weeks or so an announcement of a new Fulci film hitting Blu-ray surfaces and I get giddy. Our good friends at Severin Films just recently made an announcement regarding The Devil’s Honey.
The Devil’s Honey is a little-seen erotic thriller from Fulci that was released back in 1986. It may have taken 31 years, but on September 26th The Devil’s Honey is finally going to get an uncut, uncensored and restored release in the US. And Severn isn’t merely releasing the film, they’re going the extra mile.
The film will come with reversible art — one side dubbed The Less Naughty Side and the reverse being The Too Naughty for Amazon Side — and there will be a limited edition of 1,000 numbered slipcase releases available exclusively from the Sever Films webstore. Fulci fans will have the option of ordering the DVD, special edition Blu-ray, special edition Blu-ray with slipcover, special edition Blu-ray with enamel pin or the Devil’s Bundle – Blu-ray with slipcover and the enamel pin. That’s right, there’s going to be a Fulci pin!
Severin Films has partnered with Pseudo Ludo to create the Hall of Fame Directors series of enamel pins and they’re getting things started with Fulci. Below is a mock up of what the pin will look like, inspired by Fulci’s cameo in The Devil’s Honey.
Oh and of course the release will be loaded with special features because Severin gives the people what they want. All hail Fulci!

After releasing in theaters last month, NEON announced today that horror romance Leviticus will arrive on digital platforms to rent or own beginning July 28, followed by a Blu-ray/4K Ultra HD Combo and DVD release on September 8, 2026.
Leviticus marks the feature debut by writer/director Adrian Chiarella.
Joe Bird (Talk to Me) and Stacy Clausen play star-crossed teenage boys who must escape a violent entity that takes the form of the person they desire most — each other.
Mia Wasikowska (Crimson Peak), Jeremy Blewitt, Ewen Leslie (The Nightingale), and Davida McKenzie (Silent Night) round out the cast of horror movie Leviticus.
“Leviticus is a strong debut with an incisive voice at the helm,” I wrote in my review out of Sundance. “We care deeply about Naim and Ryan’s survival, making Leviticus a tense, atmospheric, and claustrophobic vision of young love in a hateful world.”
“Leviticus is the perfect title for writer-director Adrian Chiarella‘s powerful feature debut,” Meagan’s review explains, “a searing anthem against the corrosive nature of fear and bigotry.”
The physical media release comes packed with exclusive bonus features, the home entertainment release includes a feature commentary with Adrian Chiarella, interviews with Chiarella, Stacy Clausen, and Joe Bird, an exclusive behind-the-scenes featurette, and the official trailer.
Look for Leviticus on Digital next week, and check out the box art for September’s Blu-ray release this September.
