Cast and Creators

Starring:

For his 1987 feature film debut, co-writer/director Guy Magar delivered what Bleeding Skull hails as “relentless, squishy joy that makes us angry we’ve lived this long without having seen it”: On the seedy side of Hollywood, an emotionally fragile painter miraculously survives a horrific suicide attempt. But when a series of grisly murders rocks the city, he discovers he may be possessed by the vengeful spirit of a murdered local hoodlum. Dennis Lipscomb (EYES OF FIRE), Leslie Wing (THE FRIGHTENERS), Suzanne Snyder (WEIRD SCIENCE) and Hoyt Axton (GREMLINS) star in this “great lost gem with jaw-droppingly inventive splatter” (Blood Capsules) featuring a terrific score by Alan Howarth (THEY LIVE, PRINCE OF DARKNESS), now scanned in 2K from recently discovered pre-print elements with 2+ hours of all-new Special Features.

Press Quotes

Relentless, squishy joy... It makes us angry that we've lived this long without having seen RETRIBUTION. It's a popcorn classic.

     —Bleeding Skull

It reaches peak horror nirvana... Magar gives us an electricity-veined mania that feels like the movie took a hit of black coffee straight to its heart.

     —Daily Grindhouse

A surreal dayglo nightmare... This underrated masterwork encapsulates everything that was great about '80s horror.

     —Taste Of Cinema

Gory and wonderful... It has that forgotten cult charm and one of the most infamous '80s death scenes of all time.

     —Rotten Pop

A great lost gem... A stylish and assured debut for writer/director Guy Magar with some of the most jaw-droppingly inventive splatter ever seen.

     —Blood Capsules

Retribution has never looked or sounded better on home video and this release comes with a wealth of insightful extras. Retribution gets an impressive release from Severin Films that?s a candidate for one of the best releases of 2021, highly recommended.

     —10K Bullets

Outside of a 4K rescan and UHD release – and accepting that the trimmed gore seems to be standard definition taken from the tape source – I can’t imagine this film looking much better than it does here.

     —Genre Grinder

Retribution is a true 80's gem waiting for you to discover it, chock full of seedy atmosphere and gory set pieces, plus a bizarre possession angle that gets more intense right up till the bat-shit final sprint to the finish line. This is a solidly entertaining flick well-worth seeking out.

     —MC Bastard's Mausoleum

Retribution has never looked or sounded better on home video and this release comes with a wealth of insightful extras. Retribution gets an impressive release from Severin Films that’s a candidate for one of the best releases of 2021, highly recommended.

     —10K Bullets

Guy Magar certainly delivered one hell of a unique fright flick with Retribution: and meat packing plant footage excluded, this is a psychotronic, grimy, preternaturally psychological thriller that I can’t recommend enough to you wicked weird-o’s!

     —DanXIII, Horror Fuel

 The supplemental package from Severin is fantastic, and they have done a great job on the restoration of the film and its original audio.

     —Jake Keet, Art House Cult
