Fear in the Philippines: The Complete Blood Island Films [2-Disc Blu-ray w/Slipcase]

 “DESIGNED TO DISTURB…
Full of weird mating dances, topless women and blood feasts,
these four titles make for one hell of a sick and twisted good time.”
Reel Reviews

FOUR FEATURES ON TWO DISCS
RESTORED WITH IMPROVED COLOR & AUDIO

Between 1959 and 1971, Filipino filmmakers Eddie Romero and Gerry de Leon – along with Hemisphere Pictures marketing consultant Samuel M. Sherman – unleashed this monsters-and-mayhem quartet that remains among the most deliriously schlocky horror classics of all time: The series launched with TERROR IS A MAN, a “quite terrifying” (The New York Times) take on Island Of Dr. Moreau starring Francis Lederer (THE RETURN OF DRACULA). BRIDES OF BLOOD stars John Ashley (THE TWILIGHT PEOPLE) and Beverly Powers (SPEEDWAY) in a taboo-smashing orgy of violence, nudity and depraved nuptials. Ashley and Angelique Pettyjohn (THE CURIOUS FEMALE) star in MAD DOCTOR OF BLOOD ISLAND, “one of the greatest, nastiest, goriest films of the 1960s” (Dangerous Minds). BEAST OF BLOOD stars Ashley and Celeste Yarnall (THE VELVET VAMPIRE) in “the most exciting and aggressive of all the BLOOD ISLAND movies” (1000 Misspent Hours), newly scanned from a 35mm print by the Library of Congress. All four films have been scanned uncut in 4K with improved color and audio and include over 8 combined hours of Special Features.
