Severin is preparing a 4K Blu-ray release of Sergio Martino's
Slave of the Cannibal God (1978), starring Ursula Andress, Stacy Keach, Claudio Cassinelli, Antonio Marsina, and Franco Fantasia. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market during Black Friday.
Description: After creating some of the best gialli of the '70s, director Sergio Martino (ALL THE COLORS OF THE DARK) entered the cannibal cycle with this "blood and guts gorefest" (Trailers From Hell) that "still packs a punch" (Rock! Shock! Pop!) and is presented in UHD for the first time ever: When a British scientist disappears in the jungles of New Guinea, his wife (Ursula Andress) hires an American anthropologist (Stacy Keach) to lead her deep into a green inferno of graphic violence, steamy nudity and several of the most notorious scenes in the entire genre. Claudio Cassinelli (THE GREAT ALLIGATOR) co-stars in what Daily Grindhouse hails as "ROMANCING THE STONE for deviants," now scanned in 4K from the original camera negative with over 3 hours of Special Features that include a new interview with Martino.
