Severin Films to Open Up ‘The Amicus Collection’
On December 5th Severin Films will offer horror fans the chance to bring home what will surely be one of the year’s best releases with The Amicus Collection. This brand new 4-disc set features three films — Asylum, And Now the Screaming Starts and The Beast Must Die — and a bonus disc full of Amicus trailers, TV commercials, rare interviews and more.
Severin has had a killer year and this is going to be one hell of a cherry to top it all off. Amicus doesn’t always get the love that Hammer and other horror studios but the best of Amicus can hang with anyone and this release is sure to prove that. If you’re looking to boost your personal collection this is one you’ll want on your Christmas list.
For those curious, both Asylum and And Now the Screaming Starts will receive individual releases but The Beast Must Die will be exclusive to this set.
The Amicus Collection is a limited, numbered edition release of only 3500 units.

Watch the Opening ‘Mortal Kombat II’ Battle Scene Now Ahead of Physical Media Release in July
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.”
