Gutter Auteur: The Lost Legacy of Andy Milligan [3-Disc Blu-ray Box Set]

“A connoisseur of the depraved, he managed to create
a unique oeuvre that defies and defiles common decency

THE LIFE AND FILMS OF ANDY MILLIGAN

Pioneer. Outsider. Auteur. Andy Milligan clawed his way from the depths of ‘60s independent cinema straight to the abyss of grindhouse infamy like no other filmmaker in history. In this all-new collection of Worldwide Disc Premieres, Severin Films presents two thought-lost-forever features written, produced and directed by “The Fassbinder of 42^nd Street” (Artforum): 1967’s post-nuke nihilism THE DEGENERATES – recently discovered in a Brussels vault – and the 1968 underground psychodrama KISS ME, KISS ME, KISS ME! – found in an Amsterdam archive – are both restored from their only surviving film elements. Then in the acclaimed 2025 documentary THE DEGENERATE: THE LIFE AND FILMS OF ANDY MILLIGAN, experience “an eye-opening look into one of the weirder and darker corners of cinema history” (RogerEbert.com). Also included is the early Milligan project COMPASS ROSE and 1979’s rarely seen Staten Island gothic HOUSE OF SEVEN BELLES, plus over 5 combined hours of Special Features that reveal even more of the sordid saga behind “one of exploitation’s most fascinating figures” (Morbidly Beautiful).
