Devil Fetus/Her Vengeance [Vinegar Syndrome] Blu-ray Release
Vinegar Syndrome released a double feature of two extreme movies: Devil Fetus and Her Vengeance. I watched “Devil Fetus” first. Released in 1983 and running 92 minutes it’s a disgusting, but low-budget fantasy/horror film. A woman has an antique vase that contains a demon which has sex with her.

Godzilla vs. Biollante UHD 4K review

Little Annie Rooney
VCI Entertainment’s Blu-ray releases of Mary Pickford movies have been nothing short of stellar in my opinion.
