Congo

Congo

I haven’t seen Congo since I was a kid. The only part I remember is the end which I do remember being way bloodier and violent but that is usually how it goes with movies you’ve seen in your youth. Clearly, this was meant to be another Jurassic Park success but even though it made 3 times its cost back, it didn’t quite get to the same level. Regardless, this movie is star studded, with an amazing production design especially towards the end. I just wish they got to the Lost City of Zinj way sooner. It was nice to revisit this strange and entertaining movie and think it fits in well within the VSU universe. The extras mostly focus on the special effects and animatronics by Stan Winston. They are fantastic. Great packaging design. I especially love the slipcover with Bruce Campbell and Tim Curry. I remember being drawn to it when it was first announced but held off until a sale. Happy to have it in the collection.

Great release by VS.

This was the first VSU title I purchased from VS. I was really impressed with the packaging, booklet, etcetera. Top notch and will be buying more VSU titles in the future. The release of the film was outstanding, in my opinion. Buy it before it’s gone.

Congo

This is pure nostalgia for me. Grabbed this as a long overdue upgrade from my DVD. The artwork on the back of the box is so good. Absolutely love it.
