Hello, dear readers! As we get ready to bid another month a fond farewell, we have one final batch of home media releases coming our way before we head into March. Severin Films is keeping busy this week with a trio of Blu-ray releases, including Castle of the Creeping Flesh, The Attic Expeditions, and Plague Town. The new Wrong Turn movie arrives this Tuesday on both Blu and DVD, and if you’re a Troma fan, they’re showing some love to Nightbeast this week as well.
Other releases for February 23rd include Beast Within, Legion of the Night, Only the Good Parts, and the From Dusk Till Dawn trilogy is getting a re-release on DVD, too.
The Attic Expeditions
It's been called "imaginative and audacious" (Los Angeles Times), "fantastic and surreal" (Classic Horror) and "an ideal film that verges towards masterpiece" (Weird Wild Realm). Now experience the Blu-ray premiere...

Following the misfire of 2019’s “Hellboy” reboot, “The Descent” director Neil Marshall returns to his traditional horror roots with “The Reckoning,” an uneven melodrama about an innocent young widow accused of witchcraft during the Great Plague of London, 1665. Striving to be a rousing tale of female empowerment in the face of brutal patriarchy and religious extremism, “The Reckoning” has some powerful moments but relies too heavily on fantasy sequences to deliver scares, and its credibility is significantly compromised by the heroine consistently emerging from extreme torture sessions with barely a hair out of place or a smudge on her makeup. Dedicated horror hounds will be the main takers when this well-produced item hits U.S. theaters and VOD on February 5.
A world apart from arty contemporary folk-horrors such as “The Witch” and “Hagazussa: A Heathen’s Curse,” Marshall’s new film is more closely related to hellfire European exploitation titles of...

Castle of the Creeping Flesh
Blu ray
Severin
1968 / 77 Min. / 1.66:1
Starring Howard Vernon, Janine Reynaud, Michel Lemoine
Cinematography by Jorge Herrero
Directed by Adrian Hoven
Just in time for the holidays, it’s Castle of the Creeping Flesh. The film’s director, Adrian Hoven, helmed a mere seven films but one of them made grindhouse history. The movie was Mark of the Devil and the campaign for that 1970 stomach-churner was a perfect compliment to the degenerate nature of the product—for once there was truth in advertising. Hallmark Releasing made their name with bottom-feeding fare like Last House on the Left and Slaughter Hotel and if a film wasn’t truly debauched they could make it appear so—in 1972 they retitled Mario Bava’s Bay of Blood to Twitch of the Death Nerve—incomprehensible but portentous. For Mark of the Devil they arranged a give-away—a sack that could double...
