January Brings Two Thought-Lost Milligan Films With Acclaimed Documentary & UHD/Blu-ray Premieres of Margheriti’s ‘Indiana Jonesploitation’ Trilogy

Severin Films honors two unique directors – polarizing grindhouse auteur Andy Milligan and Italian action specialist Antonio Margheriti – with the release of the new collections GUTTER AUTEUR: THE LOST LEGACY OF ANDY MILLIGAN and ANTONIO MARGHERITI AND THE JUNGLES OF DOOM.

GUTTER AUTEUR presents two thought-lost-forever films written, directed and produced by Andy Milligan: THE DEGENERATES and KISS ME, KISS ME, KISS ME!, both unseen for nearly 50 years and recently discovered by Severin sleuths languishing in European film vaults. The collection also features the acclaimed 2025 documentary THE DEGENERATE: THE LIFE AND FILMS OF ANDY MILLIGAN, which explores Milligan’s bizarre life and controversial oeuvre through interviews with Milligan’s family, friends, colleagues and a rare archival interview with Milligan himself. Also included is the early Milligan project COMPASS ROSE and 1979’s rarely seen Staten Island southern gothic HOUSE OF SEVEN BELLES, plus over 5 combined hours of Special Features.

ANTONIO MARGHERITI AND THE JUNGLES OF DOOM features the North American UHD/Blu-ray premieres of the prolific Italian filmmaker’s ‘Indiana Jonesploitation’ Trilogy: THE HUNTERS OF THE GOLDEN COBRA, THE ARK OF THE SUN GOD and JUNGLE RAIDERS. All three features – available individually or with a 3 film slipcase – are newly scanned in 4K from their original camera negatives with 2+ hours of new and archival Special Features and a Bonus Soundtrack CD.

Pre-orders for GUTTER AUTEUR: THE LOST LEGACY OF ANDY MILLIGAN and ANTONIO MARGHERITI AND THE JUNGLES OF DOOM available now at SeverinFilms.com.

GUTTER AUTEUR: THE LOST LEGACY OF ANDY MILLIGAN

Pioneer. Outsider. Auteur. Andy Milligan clawed his way from the depths of ‘60s independent cinema straight to the abyss of grindhouse infamy like no other filmmaker in history. In this all-new collection of Worldwide Disc Premieres, Severin Films presents two thought-lost-forever features written, produced and directed by “The Fassbinder of 42nd Street” (Artforum): 1967’s post-nuke nihilism THE DEGENERATES – recently discovered in a Brussels vault – and the 1968 underground psychodrama KISS ME, KISS ME, KISS ME! – found in an Amsterdam archive – are both restored from their only surviving film elements. Then in the acclaimed 2025 documentary THE DEGENERATE: THE LIFE AND FILMS OF ANDY MILLIGAN, experience “an eye-opening look into one of the weirder and darker corners of cinema history” (RogerEbert.com). Also included is the early Milligan project COMPASS ROSE and 1979’s rarely seen Staten Island gothic HOUSE OF SEVEN BELLES, plus over 5 combined hours of Special Features that reveal even more of the sordid saga behind “one of exploitation’s most fascinating figures” (Morbidly Beautiful).
