Severin Films is preparing a 4K Blu-ray release of Alberto De Martino's
Holocaust 2000 (1977), starring Kirk Douglas, Simon Ward, Anthony Quayle, Virginia McKenna, and Spyros Fokas. The release is expected to arrive on the market before the end of the year.
Description: An executive in charge of a nuclear power plant in the Middle East must stop his son-- who turns out to be the Anti Christ -- from blowing it up.
Also known as
The Chosen and
Rain of Fire, this riveting thriller in the vein of
The Omen "is probably the best made and best budgeted of the Italian occult films of the 1970s" (The Science Fiction, Horror and Fantasy Film Review) and was directed by cult filmmaker Alberto De Martino (
The Antichrist, Blood Link and
Strange Shadows In An Empty Room).
