Home Grown Horrors - Vinegar Syndrome Blu-ray Trailer
Throughout the 1980s and 90s, independent and first time filmmakers across the United States saw new opportunities to create work in the horror genre. Often integrating the flavor and color of their inner-America locales into their work, they created films that, while inspired by mainstream trends, are about as far from Hollywood as one can get. Collected here are three diverse films, all produced in the late 1980s, providing a fascinating and entertaining glimpse into the forgotten world of Home…

A stone-cold masterpiece. A brutal, bleak look at the life of an innocent political prisoner under a totalitarian government that shows you, step-by-step, the process of dehumanization through both psychological and physical torture. Enough is not made of what actors go through to bring to life a role like this one. Krystyna Janda bares her body and soul for the camera, and I don't know by what process she was able to withstand it. It's an award-worthy performance if I…

If you love trash movies like Deadly Prey, Samurai Cop or Undefeatable, you're going to love this thing. It's pure amateur exploitive Z-Grade action that's incredibly entertaining. This even FEELS like a David Prior movie but instead of a blonde Mike Danton being hunted by soldiers in the woods like Deadly Prey, we get a blonde woman being hunted in the woods by the most hilarious gang of drug dealing fuckups ever put on film. The leader, Mongo, kills people…

This lesser follow-up makes the mistake of dropping one key aspect of the original's success: its outrageous sense of humor. Whether you found it amusing or not, the broad sexual comedy in part one was certainly something and lightened the mood periodically. The sequel just seems overly grim by comparison, though it has moments and won't disappoint those putting it on for the more extreme elements these films promise.

Watched the Cantonese version with English subtitles on the Vinegar Syndrome Blu-ray.
In the realm of crazy and zany Hong Kong Category III films, this one is off the charts. Wow, you definitely haven't seen anything like this before. Depending on how you handle all the goofiness, it will either blow your mind (or your dick) or you'll downright hate it (though I can't imagine you would).
With a title like this, you'd expect a bleak horror film, but it…

A colorful and lively cinematic novelty that feels like it was sponsored by the Danish Board of Tourism. Busy, super clean, mostly harmless, and sort of engaging with a laughable bit of charm. Not really my bag so to speak but in the right frame of mind, drugs, with the right group of friends, drugs, I can see this being an evening well spent. With drugs.

Genius non-sense from Stephen Chow. Some of his wildest mood swings, so packed with ideas it is like a dozen movies in under 100 minutes instead of just plotless, his best partnership with Ng Man-Tat and along with King of Comedy, his strongest exploration of his own persona. I'm pretty sure not a single idea or joke pitched when Chow was planning the movie was turned down.

feels like an HK riff on something like Kindergarten Cop or Cop 1/2 but, unsurprisingly, decidedly R-rated — Jet Li is in fine form here but it’s the kind that steals the show, becoming a part of the action (and its repercussions) to an extent that would never be permissible in the US

Sometimes you get the bear, sometimes the bear gets you, sometimes it's not a bear it's a deranged 'Nam vet with a Freddy glove and an M-16.
