I would even say the 90's VIPCO revival paved the way for Redemption (if I have my chronology right?)

They were the only option for me as I never saw any Redemption titles in my local video shop, it was all Vipco stuff. They were my horror 'education' and introduced me to so many brilliant films - I owe my love of Italian horror to them. It's why I have such a soft spot for the company.
