![]() ![]() The Philippines isn't exactly known to modern viewers for its booming horror film industry, but for a period through the 1960s and '70s), producer-director Eddie Romero and director Gerardo "Gerry" de Leon put the country on the exploitation map by shooting exotic low budget gore epics and releasing them under campy titles guaranteed to have parents dragging their kids to church services for penance. ![]() Severin Films (Blu-ray & DVD) (US RA/R1 HD/NTSC), Image Entertainment (DVD) (US R1 NTSC) Starring John Ashley, Celeste Yarnall, Eddie Garcia, Liza Belmonte Starring John Ashley, Angelique Pettyjohn, Ronald Remy, Alicia Alonzo, Ronaldo Valdez Starring Kent Taylor, Beverly Hills, John Ashley, Eva Darren, Mario Montenegro, Oscar Keesee Starring Francis Lederer, Greta Thyssen, Richard Derr, Oscar Keesee, Jr., Lilio Duran No need to argue or try and make an argument.Directed by Gerardo de Leon and Eddie Romero Don't you think they would have liked to have kept selling the more expensive Bundles they were offering of this box set, which probably yielded them decent profit margins? In case you didn't know, those bundles sold out fairly quickly, which would make no sense if sales were in fact "weak".īut participation in this forum has taught me that no matter what viewpoint one may have ("water is wet"), there will always be someone who is ready to vigorously argue the opposite position!Įasy Boss, my post was like an opinion man. So I really don't see the rationale behind Severin doing something like this. Which means you're engaging in a business practice that will only accelerate your downfall. Because their lies are destined to be exposed with the simple passage of time (when, in a case such as this, stock continues to be available for a long time on a product that was in fact slow-moving, despite the company's statement to the contrary). To me it means sales were weak.Īny company that deliberately deceives the public, in an attempt to drum up sales, will almost assuredly lose the trust of their customer base. I also think it's ironic that a Label announces this kind of thing. I am surprised these box sets do well for Severan, would of jumped on them if there was more effort put into transfers and such. ![]() Amazon will probably sit on some for some time. Three of the four films in the box are available individually, on both Blu and DVD, so it's really only BEAST OF BLOOD and the MAD DOCTOR soundtrack CD that are going to be somewhat scarce going forward. I would've thought it would have very limited appeal. I myself am shocked at the (apparent) demand for this collection. But it appears the demand for the box was greater than many people thought. I'm sure the odd copy will still be found on store shelves for some time to come, and Amazon may have inventory for a while (that Amicus box is sold out everywhere else, but you can still get it from Amazon). In the last couple of days, I've checked several online retailers that were once offering it, and the collection is either no longer listed at all on their site, or it's listed as "Sold Out". So unless there's a wholesale distributor sitting on a bunch of inventory, it appears all of the online retailers that were once offering it for sale won't be getting it back in stock. Severin has stated that all of the copies of the box set have been shipped to retailers. If stock is down, it's because retailers didn't have enough confidence in its selling power to make a large initial order. A high priced box set of Filipino horror films is not going to sell out fast. ![]()
