Severin Films is dedicated to the world’s most provocative cinema for physical media, theatrical, streaming and beyond. Founded in 2006 by David Gregory, Carl Daft and John Cregan, Severin’s curatorial and archival work has produced acclaimed collectors’ editions and box sets – all with exclusive/extensive Special Features – that has placed the company at the forefront of the industry, while their original productions have won numerous awards on the international festival circuit.

Severin has produced the award-winning documentaries LOST SOUL: THE DOOMED JOURNEY OF RICHARD STANLEY’S ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU, BLOOD & FLESH: THE REAL LIFE & GHASTLY DEATH OF AL ADAMSON, and Kier-La Janisse’s definitive exploration of folk horror, WOODLANDS DARK AND DAYS BEWITCHED, and co-produced original feature films that include PLAGUE TOWN and THE THEATRE BIZARRE.

The company’s founders have long been outspoken champions of ‘banned films’; Gregory and Daft’s 2001 attempt to release an uncut edition of Wes Craven’s LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT in the UK led to a series of landmark legal appeals that became a global flashpoint for cinema’s anti-censorship movement. Gregory’s acclaimed 2005 documentary BAN THE SADIST VIDEOS! remains the definitive investigation of the ‘Video Nasties’ scandal and has led to Severin’s restoration and release of more than 35 of the original ‘condemned’ titles.

Severin has produced international projects for companies that include Second Sight UK, Kino Lorber, StudioCanal, Shout! Factory, Umbrella Entertainment, Arrow Video, MPI, The British Film Institute and The Criterion Collection.
