Dolemite is soooooooo much more than groovy outfits, intact I'll go as far as saying its(IMO) one of the greatest blaxploitation films ever made. Did you enjoy Black Dynamite with Michael Jai White? Dolemite was a major influence on that.

I could wax lyrical for hours on Dolemite and Rudy Ray Moore. I find his films to be fascinating time capsules for 70's black America. Mr 420's thumb is up. :nod::)

Blaxploitation isn't really a genre i'm familiar with aside from a few Grier films and Live and Let Die. ;)

You are missing out on so much. Blaxplitation is one of my favourite genres. Give me a chance to have a think and look through my collection and I will get back to you with a recommendation of a few classics.

I'm sure the fellow Labbers will tell you what to go for. I will leave you with one to go for off the top of my head. Its called The Mack and it is so much more than just a blaxploitation movie.

PSYCHIC KILLER is a great B movie!
Looking forward to this big time!

Look forward to see what you come up with.

I forgot, i do have Across 110th Street as well.

I'm not really an authority on Blaxploitation (there are still a fair few 'key' films I need to check out) but Black Caesar is among my faves of the sub-genre.

They release a lot of their films on both formats so there is a strong possibility this one will also see a DVD release (unless of course they only have the Blu-ray rights).

VS update:

Quote:

Hey everyone, here's what's happening. We've decided to take our 'break month' in June this year. No releases in June, but a full slate through December this year.

Taking June off doesn't mean we'll be releasing less films in 2016. In fact, it means that we'll end up doing more! And, unlike the last couple years where we took December off, this year December is fully loaded, including a Blu-ray of an appropriately themed horror title. As it currently stands, between July and December, another 30 individual releases are planned, which will total roughly 50 more films (taking into account double features and a box set). And, to avoid any confusion, yearly package subscribers will be 100% covered for all films released in 2016, including December titles. As always, you'll be able to renew/sign up for the 2017 package in November.

Great news is the May titles will start shipping out tomorrow! Also, this Friday is the beginning of our "Halfway to Black Friday" sale, which includes 50% off most releases and our discounted 6 month package (July - December titles included)!

Thank you everyone for your continued support in helping us release even wilder and weirder films!

michal 16th June 2016 03:22 PM

Judging by the Richard Nixon mask, Vinegar Syndrome teased Horror House on Highway Five on Facebook for September. I'm not sure what the other titles are, but I've always enjoyed Horror House On Highway Five, it's bizarre. Looking forward to that.

VS Exclusive Limited Edition releases now available to order through Diabolik:

Quote:

A mysterious killer, wearing a Nixon mask, terrorizes and murders a young couple. A professor assigns his students a project investigating the strange events connected to a possibly dead Nazi scientist, Dr. Fredrick Bartholomew. The doctor's assistant kidnaps students, holding them hostage and torturing them. Meanwhile, Nixon stalks the night!

One of the most confusing and compelling homemade horror films ever made, future music video director Richard Casey's debut feature film, shot over years on nights and weekends, is a delirious collage of oddball gore, ludicrous plot twists, and a general milieu of weirdness unlike anything else in cinema history. Newly restored from original 16mm vault elements, Vinegar Syndrome presents one of the quintessential cult movies of the 80s officially on Blu-ray and DVD for the first time anywhere in the world.

* Scanned and restored in 2k from 16mm archival elements

* “Return to Horror House on Highway 5” - making of featurette

* Commentary track with director Richard Casey

* “Beach Party with Vom” - music video directed by Richard Casey (the impetus for Horror House on Highway 5)

* Alternate full frame presentation of Horror House on Highway 5

* Reversible cover artwork by Kevin Thomas

Quote:

Director Richard Casey's (HORROR HOUSE ON HIGHWAY 5) second feature is an ambitious and at times dreamlike Faustian story, set in the rough underworld of LA's heavy metal and punk music scene. Lemmy (Phil Ward) is the front man for an unsuccessful band, who's willing to do anything to make it. After a chance meeting with Mr. Tanas, a music promoter, Lemmy is offered the deal of a lifetime: fame for nothing more than his soul. The young singer doesn't believe in such things and accepts the offer, but quickly learns that this sleazy promoter has more in store for Lemmy than just the stardom he's dreamed of.

Directed and photographed like a surreal documentary, and co-starring David Marciano (HOMELAND) and Darcy Nichols (CAFE FLESH), HELLBENT is a blood soaked document of late 80s Los Angeles, as seen through the eyes of outcasts and derelicts. Vinegar Syndrome proudly presents this forgotten gem of independent horror newly restored from its original 35mm negative and on Blu-ray and DVD for the first time.

* Scanned and restored in 2k from 35mm original camera negative

* “A Little Chaos” - making of featurette

* Commentary track with director Richard Casey

* Original cover artwork by Cody Brown

Hellbent is limited too, from the sound of it. I'm definitely not missing out on those. Haven't seen Hellbent, or even heard of it, but if it's from the director of Horror House On Highway Five, I really want to see it.

I want both and have really fallen behind with my VS purchases (mainly thanks to Code Red it has to be said!). I need to start prioritising some of their releases - especially if they're limited.

With a few exceptions (off the top of my head; Pigs) I tend to wait for their Black Friday sale to pick stuff up, as shipping is a flat rate of $16 no matter how much you order, and they're customs friendly. But I think the last couple of limited releases from VS sold out pretty quickly, so I'll pre-order these.

I really want Evils Of The Night too, so I might pick that up soon as well.

It's always my intention too to take advantage of the Black Friday sales, however everyone tends to have sales then so I'm usually unable to buy from everybody at once meaning that certain distributors and titles get ignored unfortunately.

Just remember, CEX won't take them. You'll have to sell them on here or ebay or something.

Count Dracula's Great Love is a must have in my opinion.

It saddens me that you haven't heard of Count Dracula's Great Love, knowing you'll shell out for it then get rid of it almost immediately.

Why waste your money?

i end up keeping most of my none UK movies now, so good chance i won't get rid of them but hey its me so i wouldn't hold my breath! and its the only way to get to see films like these in HD without resorting to downloading etc

I apologize Treb. Your method of random buying everything and anything seems kind of alien. I mean blind buying the HG Lewis set at £120. Just nuts.

As i say, sorry, i shouldn't comment, it's your money to spend as you like.

No its fine and I don't even understand it myself. I look at the lewis box and can see it selling out and if I don't really like it I should be able to make most of my money back if not more. But of course I should just wait until they get released by themselves but then part of me thinks end up buying them all individual I would probably spend more than the boxset

The Lewis films are an acquired taste. I think it helps to have grown up with them so to speak.

I'd have spent a couple of quid on one of the many dvd's floating about to see if i liked them first.

Personally i don't rate them at all. 2000 Maniacs is about the best in my opinion. However i haven't seen the whole box set.

The Inspector likes them, i think he sees them as double bills with his Al Adamson collection.
