Severin Films will release on 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 in the United Kingdom on April 3.
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.
