LEGION OF THE DEAD RISES: UNEARTHED FILMS UNLEASHES 2-DISC LIMITED COLLECTOR’S EDITION THIS JULY

Horror collectors, mark your calendars: Unearthed Films is resurrecting Olaf Ittenbach’s 2009 gore-fueled cult favorite Legion of the Dead in a 2-Disc Limited Collector’s Edition Blu-ray on July 14, 2026. Known for his relentless practical gore and underground splatter epics, Ittenbach delivers a bloody road-trip nightmare where a pair of unsuspecting travelers stumble into a desert town ruled by a sadistic blond killer and his undead legion.

This deluxe release is packed with both the Unrated Festival Producer’s Cut (92 min) and the Director’s Cut (108 min), plus a treasure trove of extras including commentaries, making-of doc, deleted scenes, outtakes, and archival festival footage. Physical media fans will appreciate the bilingual Director’s Cut, DTS-HD MA 5.1 audio, and an English subtitle track.

Unearthed is sweetening the deal with a free mystery disc for those who pre-order Legion of the Dead alongside Tetsuo: The Bullet Man directly from their website—perfect for cult cinema completists.
