Overview
The Dungeon of Andy Milligan (1965-1984)
PREV NEXT He’s been described as “The Fassbinder of 42nd Street” (Artforum), “a celebration of hate” (Bleeding Skull) and “an unmatched voice from the underbelly of low-budget cinema” (Rue Morgue). More than a quarter century after his death, he remains perhaps the most divisive name in genre history. Severin Films now presents the cranium-cleaving collection devoted to writer/actor/director Andy Milligan – “a gay sadist who pioneered New York’s avant-garde theater world and made astonishingly unique exploitation movies” (Diabolique Magazine) – on 8 Blu-rays featuring 14 surviving films from his NYC and London years, 10+ hours of trailers, outtakes, interviews & audio commentaries, a bonus CD and an all-new 128-page book by Stephen Thrower that explores the profane madness behind it all. From his provocative underground work through his international scuzz-horror classics, experience the venomous legacy of the filmmaker Time Magazine calls “depraved, degenerate, desperate, damned” like never before.

The Dungeon of Andy Milligan Blu-ray Movie Review
Reviewed by Jeffrey Kauffman October 5, 2021Lovers of what might be charitably termed Grade Z Cinema have had a number of outstanding releases by a variety of labels over the past few years. Arrow has offered fans surprisingly deluxe-ified (that's a word, I insist) editions of The Herschell Gordon Lewis Feast and Weird Wisconsin: The Bill Rebane Collection, among others, while Severin Films has gotten into exploring this decidedly odd nook and/or cranny with releases like Al Adamson: The Masterpiece Collection. Severin's back with more, um, "masterpieces" with this inventively packaged homage to the late Andy Milligan, a kinda sorta auteur whose professional life had more than its fair share of hurdles, and whose personal life unfortunately ended up not being much better. The 14 films (with one bonus film in HD, Toga Party) aggregated in this set are exploitation outings at their "finest" (?), which means those with more patrician tastes are probably well advised to steer completely clear of this release. Those with grittier sensibilities will find some at times oddly entertaining movies and Severin's usual supply of appealing supplements.

The Dungeon of Andy Milligan Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras
Supplements included with each film are detailed in the above linked reviews. Additionally a Bonus CD of music by Hal Borske is included. The entire package is very inventively designed to resemble a badly weathered old book, and in fact the inside functions more or less like a DigiBook, with Blu-ray discs inserted into cardboard sleeves containing key art from the films. The best supplement for some is going to be the authoritative booklet written by Stephen Thrower, which is a veritable treasure trove of information.
The Dungeon of Andy Milligan Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation
This is yet another item for cult fans where the quality of the films may be near non-existent, and yet the overall package may be near irresistible. Severin has done Andy Milligan proud with this release, and while the technical presentations can't always overcome inherent source limitations, some of them are relatively impressive. As usual, Severin has assembled some really appealing supplements. For Milligan fans at least, Recommended.
