Press Quotes
'4 stars. This is a movie like none I have seen before, a wild kaleidoscope of images and outrages, a collision between Freud and Fellini.'
—Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
'A MONUMENTAL ACHIEVEMENT... Alejandro Jodorowsky is one of the most astonishingly gifted visionaries ever to work within the medium.'
—PopMatters
'Visionary and haunting'
—Rolling Stone
'A grand work of art, full of symbols and imagery that reach beyond language to something primal and original'
—AV Club
Santa Sangre is unabashedly gonzo from the get go, but for those attuned to Jodorowsky's singular artistic vision, it's a must see... The overall effect is unforgettable. This 4K version sports a noticeably better suffused palette than the old 1080 version, despite the lack of HDR, and also boasts good upticks in detail levels from even the improved 1080 version also included with this release. Technical merits are generally solid and the supplementary package as well as the packaging itself are very well done. Recommended

Severin Films has truly knocked it out of the park for a film that feels intricately tied to Severin's own objective of bringing cult films to Blu-ray in the best way possible. This will be the film's definitive home release edition for the foreseeable future.
—Edge Media Network
Alejando Jodorowsky's 1989 sensation (out in a gorgeous new 4K edition from Severin Films) is one of his most accessible films - which is saying something about the rest of his filmography, as this is nevertheless a gleefully bizarre, darkly funny surrealist freak-show with the furious intensity of a fever dream... This is a film of aesthetics, sensations, and violently beautiful imagery.
—The Playlist
Alejandro Jodorowsky's epic tale of love, murder, madness, throwing knives, political oppression, carnival shenanigans, and more gets an equally impressive and loaded release on 4K UltraHD. Severin's new 4-disc release is a visual stunner and stacked with special features - if you are a fan of the film this is an absolute must-own. Few movies deliver an experience like this.
