U.S. label Severin Films has dated and detailed its upcoming Blu-ray release of director Robert Fuest's film The Devil's Rain (1975), starring Ernest Borgnine, Eddie Albert, Ida Lupino, William Shatner, and Keenan Wynn. The release will be available for purchase on October 31.
Also included with this announcement is a brand new trailer for the new restoration of the film, which the label has provided.
Synopsis: A bunch of Satanists in the American rural landscape have terrible powers which enable them to melt their victims. However one of the children of an earlier victim vows to destroy them.
Patriarch Steve Preston goes missing and worried mom Emma (Ida Lupino) sends eldest son Mark (William Shatner) in search of his father. Suddenly, a dying, eyeless Steve returns and demands that the family: "Give Corbis what belongs to him!" before dissolving into a gelatinous meltdown.
Corbis (Ernest Borgnine) is a Satanic priest hell-bent on recovering a valuable book listing the names of those who sold their souls to the devil... a book that resides with the Preston family. Mark refuses to hand it over and puts up a brave fight, only to wind up an unwilling sacrifice.
Occult expert, Dr. Richards (Eddie Albert) and Mark's younger brother Tom (Tom Skerritt) plot to free the Prestons and destroy The Devil's Rain, a bottle containing the souls of those already damned. The battle rages as the elixir is released and a bloody rain of devilry and malevolence is loosed upon a screaming, melting world.
