Severin Films to bring the rain, The Devil’s Rain!

It was merely three weeks ago that Severin Films announced the upcoming release of Lucio Fulci’s erotic thriller The Devil’s Honey. Never the ones to be satisfied with the release of one film with a title that sexualizes the Devil, Severin has now announced that The Devil’s Rain will hit Blu-ray on October 31st — hey, that’s Halloween! Please, give me a moment while I catch my breath.

One of the most shocking films of the 70’s, this classic in desperate need of an HD upgrade also boasts one of the most exciting casts with the likes of William Shatner, Ernest Borgnine, Eddie Albert, Tom Skerrit and John Travolta. Hell, Anton LaVey, founder of The Church of Satan, served as a technical advisor!

One makes this release from Severin so special, beyond simply getting a Blu-ray version of the film, is that they worked with the Church of Satan to get this bad boy out. You can order a special Prince of the Abyss Bundle for $33.00 and get not only the film loaded with special features, but a special limited edition slipcover and  Corbis Pendant. Yes! Full details below!

Synopsis:

A bunch of Satanists in the American rural landscape have terrible powers which enable them to melt their victims. However one of the children of an earlier victim vows to destroy them.

Published

on

Sequel Mortal Kombat II is now available to watch at home on Digital before heading to physical media in July, but you can test your might now and watch the opening scene.

Mortal Kombat director Simon McQuoid returns to the helm for the new sequel from a script by Jeremy Slater (“Moon Knight,” Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire).

In Mortal Kombat II, the fan-favorite champions — now joined by Johnny Cage (Karl Urban) — are pitted against one another in the ultimate, no-holds barred, gory battle to defeat the dark rule of Shao Kahn that threatens the very existence of the Earthrealm and its defenders.

Adeline Rudolph, Jessica McNamee, Josh Lawson, Ludi Lin, Mehcad Brooks, Tati Gabrielle, Lewis Tan, Damon Herriman, Chin Han, Tadanobu Asano, Joe Taslim, and Hiroyuki Sanada are also part of the ensemble cast of Mortal Kombat II fighters.

Watch the opening below, which introduces a young Kitana (Sophia Xu) as Emperor Shao Kahn (Martyn Ford) prepares to conquer her father, King Jerrod (Desmond Chiam), and her kingdom of Edenia. It sets the sequel’s entire plot in motion.

From New Line Cinema, James Wan’s Atomic Monster, Broken Road Productions, and Fireside Films, Mortal Kombat II is rated R for “strong bloody violence and gore, and language.”

Look for Mortal Kombat II to arrive on 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD on July 28, 2026.
