October 9, 2025
Three horror films — Baskin, Ferat Vampire and Asylum — are being released on disc Oct. 14 from Severin Films and MVD Entertainment Group.
Baskin (2015), the debut feature from Turkish writer/director Can Evrenol, is presented on 4K UHD for the first time as well as on Blu-ray. In the film, when a five-man police squad is lured into a realm where torment, depravity and damnation are the only law, they’ll become prisoners of an abyss from which there may be no mortal escape. The release includes more than three hours of special features that include audio commentary with director Can Evrenol, a behind-the-scenes documentary, a 10-years-later retrospective, Evrenol’s original short film, and more.
In 1972, director Roy Ward Baker (Dr. Jekyll & Sister Hyde, The Vampire Lovers), screenwriter Robert Bloch (Psycho), and a cast that includes Peter Cushing, Britt Ekland (The Wicker Man), Herbert Lom (Mark of the Devil), Patrick Magee (A Clockwork Orange), Robert Powell (The Survivor), and Charlotte Rampling (The Night Porter) linked for the classic Asylum, available on 4K UHD for the first time ever. Inside the gates of Dunsmoor Asylum for The Incurably Insane, viewers discover four disturbing tales of voodoo vengeance, murderous mannequins, psychotic ingénues, demonic dolls and one killer twist of an ending. Barry Morse (Space: 1999), Barbara Parkins (Valley of the Dolls) and James Villiers (Repulsion) co-star in the titles scanned in 4K from the original camera negative with more than two and a half hours of special features that include a new interview with Robert Powell. Special features also include audio commentary with director Roy Ward Baker and camera operator Neil Binneya; “Two’s a Company,” a 1972 BBC on-set report featuring interviews with producer Milton Subotsky, director Roy Ward Baker, actors Charlotte Rampling, James Villiers and Megs Jenkins, art director Tony Curtis, and production manager Teresa Bolland; author David J. Schow on Robert Bloch; Fiona Subotsky remembers her husband Milton Subotsky; “Inside the Fear Factory,” interviews with directors Roy Ward Baker and Freddie Francis and producer Max J. Rosenberg; theatrical trailers; and TV spots.
From Juraj Herz — the award-winning writer/director of Morgiana, The Ninth Heart, The Cremator and the subversive genius of the Czech New Wave — comes the disturbing shocker Ferat Vampire (1982), driven by cultural provocation, political paranoia and a supercharged take on the vampire mythos, now on Blu-ray Disc for the first time ever in America. In the film, when Ferat Motors introduces a new high-performance sports car, a trauma doctor investigates a bizarre theory that the vehicle is a biological machine fueled by human blood. Jirí Menzel (director of the Oscar-winning Closely Watched Trains), Dagmar Havlová (former First Lady of the Czech Republic) and the iconic Škoda 110 Super Sport star in this film, restored from the best existing 35mm elements by Národní Filmový Archiv and Severin Films with more than five hours of new and archival special features curated exclusively for the release.
