Re: Visual Vengeance

Bloody Body Builder [sic] is SO BAD. Necro Files is SO BAD it's kind-of fun? The special edition of Necro Files was packed-to-the-gills, though, so a great release.
If it isn't obvious, proceed with caution, these movies are sure to be really, really bad.

Re: Visual Vengeance

BODY BUILDER is the only one I tried. It’s indeed pretty bad. The story behind it is mildly interesting, but it’s essentially a glorified home video (albeit shot on 8mm and edited on video), as I suspect a lot of these might be, including that Steve Wang film from the sounds of it, though I could be tempted by that down the road. WRONG DOOR is apparently a student film. I’ll give the label credit for giving these films fairly respectable treatments, but I question their value enough that I’ve held off buying more than the one. They do turn up cheap in sales from time to time (MVD maybe?), so there’s that to consider.

Some trailers for reference:

Reviewed a fair number of their offerings (they may be the only label to send me a custom USB device), think The Necro Files and Heartland of Darkness. Linnea Quigley appears in that last one, which is practically a student film made around Ohio if I remember correctly.

Re: Visual Vengeance

I have a soft spot for a lot of “hey let’s make a movie!” indie martial arts films made by regional martial arts school dudes back in the day (DEVIL’S EXPRESS, FORCE FOUR, DEATH PROMISE, NINJA BUSTERS, MIAMI CONNECTION), but I always hesitated with this one on DVD despite the presence of the Rhee brothers (Simon is still a big name in stunts to this day). Just seemed like it might be too tongue-in-cheek silly. But if it warrants this treatment, I guess I can give it a test drive first on Tubi.

Re: Visual Vengeance

I enjoy them too, but I always seem to find I enjoy the trailers much more than actually spending the 90 minutes to watch the entire movie themselves. Usually, the best stuff is in the trailers and the movies are a slog to get through.
