Grab a Raincoat, ‘The Devil’s Rain’ is Coming to Blu-ray!
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!

Are you ready to go back?
After a record-breaking box office run and an extended cut re-release, A24 and director Kane Parsons’ Backrooms is heading home to Digital.
Backrooms will be available to rent or buy this Tuesday, July 14.
In the film, Chiwetel Ejiofor stars in Backrooms as the owner of Cap’n Clark’s Ottoman Empire, who discovers a strange doorway in the basement of the furniture showroom. He sets out to explore the mysterious, liminal space, walking headfirst into a creepypasta nightmare.
Renate Reinsve (A Different Man) also stars in Backrooms.
Will Soodik wrote the screenplay.
I wrote in my review, “Backrooms is at once complex and sparse, but never repetitive. It might be set in 1990, but it effectively captures modern anxieties and isolation in a way that frequently makes your skin crawl. While the journey ultimately loses steam by its cryptic end, Parsons’ visual representation of the human psyche disturbs like no other.”
YouTube prodigy Kane Parsons makes his feature directorial debut based on his creepypasta-inspired video series, which debuted in 2022 and has amassed over 190 million views to date.
