Dead & Board

AGFA/Bleeding Skull doing the lord's work in releasing this, the Citizen Kane of shot-on-video bilge. Dispensing with the curate's-egg 'director's cut' from the previous BD release, this version features three viewing-options; the VHS and theatrical-cut, along with a third-presentation that has some minor differences. The restoration here is obviously limited by the source, but it's as good an effort as you could reasonably hope it to be. Some great, thorough extras as well, including a surprisingly sincere bonus-film, Sally & Jess. Highly recommended, obviously!

A wild one

File under "polarising". In a all honesty, I didn't completely vibe with this bonkers 80s SOV horror, but looking at the other reviews, I appear to be in the minority. Garish & incomprehensible, but admirably nuts, in every department.

A very bizarre train wreck

Utterly bizarre vanity project is more or less beyond description. If you enjoy going into the deep end when it comes to sampling “so bad it’s good” attempts at movie making, then this is pretty much a must watch. But be careful, it’s not going to be for everyone. The “movie” was shot on video in the 80s so the image quality is pretty terrible yet almost appropriate when considering the source material.
