THE DAY OF THE BEAST 4K Review – Severin Now Delivers Unholy Humor in Ultra HD By Anthony Arrigo
Directed by Alex de la Iglesia
Distributed by Severin Films
My only familiarity with the work of writer/director Alex de la Iglesia came courtesy of his more recent films; specifically, the absolutely gonzo
The Last Circus (2010) and The Oxford Murders (2008), which I thought was a total drag. But his name has been a commodity on the horror scene since the mid-‘90s, when he delivered a string of wildly unconventional genre-leaping films which includes
El dia de la Bestia a.k.a.

One of Severin Films’ big Black Friday releases was the documentary TALES OF THE UNCANNY, which features two very special extra discs for fans of anthology horror. Disc one contains
Eerie Tales (1919) and
Unusual Tales (1949), two underseen anthology horror flicks. But disc number two, surprisingly, features a 2K remaster of anthology opus MASTER OF HORROR (1965), a classic among Argentinian horror fans! Originally titled OBRAS MAESTRAS DEL TERROR (the actual translation would be “Masterpieces of Terror”) and directed by Argentinian maestro Enrique Carreras, this is a Poe inspired anthology film written by Narciso Ibañez Serrador (
Who Can Kill a Child?) and starring his father, Narciso Ibañez Menta, a cult figure in Argentina and Spain. Having MASTER OF HORROR released on Blu-ray in a 2K remaster from the dupe negative is more than a dream come true for Argentinian horror fans. We reached out to Severin’s capo David Gregory to ask him about this release
