Blu-ray Review – Deep Blood – Severin Films
I feel like I find myself constantly praising Severin Films for releasing my favorite type of film, Italian and European exploitation and horror in the best possible editions, and look here I am doing it again. More normal people than myself are constantly decrying the end of physical media, but before Blu-ray happened, I was…
Blu-ray Review – The Fear – Vinegar Syndrome
Richard (Eddie Bowz) is finishing up his degree in psychology and his final thesis is about fear. But instead of writing some stuffy old paper, he’s gonna stage a fear experiment with his friends and some strangers as guinea pigs at a remote cabin. This would be a terrible idea under the best circumstances, but…
Blu-ray Review – Rush Week – Vinegar Syndrome

At first, Toni ain’t too sure about…
The Undoing – 2020 Mini Series Blu-ray review
The Undoing is a 2020 television mini-series that features a few screen legends in Donald Sutherland, Hugh Grant and Nicole Kidman. If you want to see a successful family get torn to pieces, then this is the film for you! The story is nothing more than a modern day who-done-it tale which to some degree…
Blu-ray Review – Masculin Feminin (Criterion)
I hate to get all personal when writing reviews, but when I was in film school in the early 2000’s I went through a French New Wave obsessive phase, especially the early films of Jean-Luc Godard. This mixed with the New York independents of the 80’s like Jim Jarmusch, Spike Lee, Hal Hartley, Frank Henenlotter,…
Blu-ray Review – Last Gasp – Vinegar Syndrome
While trying to build a luxurious resort in the jungles of Mexico, Leslie Chase (Robert Patrick) is forced to halt construction because a nearby indigenous tribe is sacrificing his workers. He calls in some local muscle to wipe the tribe out but one of them gets away and comes after him. After killing his attacker,…
Doctor X Blu-ray review (Warner Archive Collection)
Every October when I exclusively watch horror movies to celebrate the Halloween season, Doctor X is one of the films that I always watch. Known for its line “synthetic flesh” the creature in this picture is nothing short of hideous and is spookier than most, including those in contemporary horror cinema! Based on the play…

Blu-ray Review – Death Promise – Vinegar Syndrome
Somehow I had never heard of Death Promise before it had landed on my doorstep. After having watched its Death Wish meets Kung Fu trash charms, I am not just sold, I am addicted. I have started the day finding friends to tell about the film. The film follows Charley Roman, a karate-fighter, whose Dad…
