New on Blu-ray: CURUCU, BEAST OF THE AMAZON (1956)

BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: When reports of a clawed beast cause hundreds of natives to flee their Brazilian plantation jobs, the landowners send a macho trouble-shooter aptly named Rock Dean and cancer-researching doctor Andrea Romar deep into the rainforest for a steamy odyssey of dance numbers, headhunters, blowguns, grope-happy savages and one of the most infamous monsters in horror history!

From famed writer/director Curt Siodmak – scribe of The Wolf Man, I Walked with a Zombie, and Donovan's Brain – comes perhaps the most notorious jungle shocker of the 50s: CURUCU, BEAST OF THE AMAZON! Starring 50s B-movie legend John Bromfield (Revenge of the Creature), cult movie icon, Beverly Garland (It Conquered the World), alongside Tom Payne (Love Slaves of the Amazon), Vinegar Syndrome Labs offers this criminally overlooked studio produced shocker on Blu-ray for the first time, newly restored in 2K from its completely uncensored 35mm dupe negative.
