February 23, 2026
The horror titles The Eurocrypt of Christopher Lee Collection 3, 1963’s The Ghost and 1987’s Retribution are being released on disc Feb. 24 from Severin Films and MVD Entertainment Group.
Also available Feb. 24 from MVD and Severin is a Matt LeBlanc drama from the director of Retribution.
The Eurocrypt of Christopher Lee Collection 3 is a seven-disc collection with six films in both 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray. The collection includes 16 hours of special features and a new 142-page book. The teensploitation classic Beat Girl, available in the original theatrical and extended U.K. cuts, stars Lee as the wolfish operator of a Soho strip club. He portrays a sleazy blackmailer in The Hands of Orlac, presented in separate French and U.K. versions. Directed by Antonio Margheriti and starring Lee as a disfigured madman, the worldwide UHD/Blu-ray premiere of The Virgin of Nuremberg is a two-disc collection that sets new standards in Italian Gothic cruelty. Arabian Adventure is director Kevin Connor’s all-star family adventure showcasing Lee as a dastardly Caliph. Lee is a menacing teacher at an exclusive boys boarding school in A Feast at Midnight, directed by Justin Hardy. With recollections by family, friends and Lee himself, the documentary The Life and Deaths of Christopher Lee reveals the screen legend like never before.
Retribution (1987) is making its worldwide 4K UHD premiere. The two-disc collection includes the theatrical and unrated versions scanned in 4K from the original camera negative with more than three hours of special features. In 2021, Severin Films resurrected the forgotten classic from co-writer/director Guy Magar on Blu-ray. But in 2025, the search of a Los Angeles lab vault led to the discovery of the unclaimed negative for the thought-lost unrated version just days prior to its destruction. Magar’s neon and viscera-soaked saga of possession, vengeance and carnage stars Dennis Lipscomb (Eyes of Fire), Leslie Wing (The Frighteners), Suzanne Snyder (Weird Science) and Hoyt Axton (Gremlins).
Seven years after unleashing Retribution, filmmaker Guy Magar rolled the dice to write, produce and direct the low-budget mob drama Lookin’ Italian, which introduced an unknown Matt LeBlanc only months before landing his breakout role in “Friends.” In the film, having survived a New York City shootout gone horrifically wrong, a former mafioso (Jay Acovone of “Beauty and the Beast” and “Stargate SG-1”) is now living a quiet life working in a Los Angeles used bookstore. But when his reckless nephew (LeBlanc) gets involved with local gang culture, they’re both dragged into an unforgiving urban jungle where fear is weakness, vengeance is destiny and family bonds can never be broken. Three-time Grammy-winning soul legend Lou Rawls co-stars — with Denise Richards in one of her earliest film roles — in the film now scanned in 4K from the original camera negative with two hours of special features that include a long-unseen 1993 on-set interview with LeBlanc.
The Ghost is available on 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray Disc, including four hours of special features. Direct from its 2025 premiere at the Venice International Film Festival, the 1963 film, set in turn-of-the-century Scotland, follows a young wife (Barbara Steele) who conspires with her lover to murder her wealthy paralyzed husband. But when the dead spouse’s spirit returns, it unlocks a nightmare of spectral terror, sudden violence and depraved vengeance. Peter Baldwin (The Weekend Murders) and Harriet Medin (The Whip and the Body) co-star in the Italian horror classic co-written by Freda and Oreste Biancoli (Bicycle Thieves), newly scanned in 4K from the thought-lost original camera negative and restored by Severin Films with four hours of special features.
