Three releases for September 2021 were announced by Severin Films today, including Giallo movie The Fourth Victim (1971) and Christian slasher A Day of Judgment (1981).

In addition, John Russo‘s Midnight will be released on the same day, September 28.

Severin explains, “A decade after co-writing Night of the Living Dead, writer/director John Russo gathered members of George Romero’s Pittsburgh crews to film a new shocker fueled by equal parts grisly grindhouse jolts and ‘80s satanic panic.”

“Fleeing her pervy alcoholic stepfather (Lawrence Tierney of Reservoir Dogs infamy), a hitchhiking teen (Melanie Verlin) is abducted by a family of crazed homicidal rednecks for an ordeal of graphic butchery, shag carpet and devil worship. John Amplas (Martin) co-stars in this “greasy, grimy guilty pleasure” (DVD Talk) featuring gore effects by Tom Savini and executive produced by Sam Sherman (Dracula vs. Frankenstein) – released in some US markets as Backwoods Massacre and seized in the UK as a Section 3 ‘Video Nasty’ – now scanned in 4K from the negative of the long-rumored uncut version with all-new Special Features.”

Special Features for Midnight include:

  • Interview with Writer / Director John Russo
  • Interview with Producer Samuel M. Sherman
  • Interview with Actor John Amplas
  • Interview with SFX Artist Tom Savini
  • Trailer
  • More TBC
