Retribution [1987]
PHYSICAL MEDIA: 4K UHD/Blu-ray
DIRECTOR: Guy Magar
WRITER: Guy Magar, Lee Wasserman
PRINCIPAL CAST: Brian Christian, Chris Caputo, Clare Peck, Danny Daniels, Leslie Wing, Suzanne Snyder, Dennis Lipscomb
SYNOPSIS:
THE WORLDWIDE UHD PREMIERE
TWO DISC COLLECTION NOW INCLUDES THE UNRATED VERSION SCANNED FROM THE ORIGINAL CAMERA NEGATIVE WITH 3+ HOURS OF SPECIAL FEATURES
In 2021, Severin Films was proud to resurrect the “gory, bizarre and intense” (McBastard’s Mausoleum) forgotten classic from co-writer/director Guy Magar on Blu-ray. But in 2025, our search of a Los Angeles lab vault led to the discovery of the unclaimed negative for the thought-lost Unrated Version just days prior to its destruction. ’80s splatter fans rejoice: Magar’s neon and viscera-soaked saga of possession, vengeance and carnage has never looked or sounded more harrowing. Dennis Lipscomb (EYES OF FIRE), Leslie Wing (THE FRIGHTENERS), Suzanne Snyder (WEIRD SCIENCE) and Hoyt Axton (GREMLINS) star in this “relentless squishy joy that makes us angry we’ve lived this long without having seen it” (Bleeding Skull), now on 2 discs with both the Unrated and Theatrical Versions scanned in 4K from their original camera negatives and over 3 hours of Special Features.
