The Survivor Blu-ray

U.S. label Severin Films will bring to Blu-ray The Survivor Blu-ray David Hemmings' film The Survivor (1981), starring Robert Powell, Jenny Agutter, Joseph Cotten, Peter Sumner, and Lorna Lesley. The release will be available for purchase on January 10.

Synopsis: When a 747 crash lands in a Sydney suburb -- a still-spectacular sequence that helped make this the most expensive Australian film of its time -- the inferno kills everyone on board except the pilot (Robert Powell of Jesus of Nazareth and Tommy) who emerges from the wreckage miraculously unscathed. But as a local psychic (Jenny Agutter of An American Werewolf in London) begins to communicate with the spirits of the doomed passengers, it will unlock a nightmare of madness, murder and supernatural horror.

Hollywood legend Joseph Cotten in his final film performance co-stars in this shocker directed by British film icon David Hemmings (Blow-Up) and produced by Ozploitation maverick Antony I. Ginnane (Thirst, Turkey Shoot), featuring haunting cinematography by Academy Award winner John Seale (The English Patient, Mad Max: Fury Road) and now transferred in 2K HD for the first time ever.
