3 Rene Abadeza films on 4K Blu-ray, ranked S to D by transfer quality.
dir. Antonio Margheriti
Margheriti's most-distributed adventure film and the hardest to see in clean form. US video was heavily cropped, UK and German releases were significantly censored, and what's been streaming for years sits in the wrong aspect ratio. The new scan restores the scope framing and the toy-car train chase that Bruno Mattei famously recycled in 1988's Cop Game.
Severin Films · Antonio Margheriti & The Jungles of Doom: His '80s Adventure Films
Severin gives Margheriti's 1982 jungle pulp its first proper transfer after forty years of cropped, color-drained Vestron VHS bootlegs. The new scan from the original camera negative restores the 2.35 framing, and Margheriti's brief bursts of saturated jungle lighting finally come through. Extras span an archival Warbeck Q&A, behind-the-scenes interviews with assistant director Edoardo Margheriti, and a soundtrack CD shared with The Ark of the Sun God in the boxset packaging.
dir. Lucio Fulci
When a terrorist's body, infected with a stolen chemical, is recovered by the US military, the corpse is cremated, unintentionally releasing a virus and bacteria into the atmosphere over a small island.
