Reviews

The Lost Films of Herschell Gordon Lewis

"Glad these are available, but I can also see why they (especially Black Love) were lost for so long"

— Jack H. (5/5)

Fascinating Archival Release

"A really interesting release for collectors and fans of film preservation. The material is naturally rough in places, but the disc does a good job making these rare films available in a watchable and respectful presentation. A valuable archival set."

— Thomas L. (4/5)

Black Love

"Only watched Black Love so far and enjoyed it quite a bit. It's very chill."

— Fin L. (5/5)

These look great but are

"These look great but are rather boring."

— Edward l. (2/5)

The Godfather Of Gore does naughty pictures

"The new slipcover made me give this, their first release, finally a chance in one of their sales rounds. H. G. Lewis's filming style is a bit too sedate and workmanlike for my taste, yet I cannot deny that these films were quite good and spicy, especially considering their time. That new slipcover looks beautiful. Since it's an older release, no subtitles unfortunately"

— Tim V. (4/5)

I Was Excited To See The Spine Number!

"This one is listed as VS-001BD, that's pretty cool! I've heard Herschell's name before but I didn't know much about him, figured this might be a good place to start. Just an added bonus that it's such and early release that was still available."

— Jake B. (5/5)

Amazing movie

"Wish I got the slipcover because this movie is so good"

— tyler j. (5/5)

Great transfer

"Well, Ecstasies probably best option on this disc, funny as HG Lewis can be. Linda unfortunately appears to be boring for me, even though transfer looks amazing."

— Valentins S. (3/5)

Most have forgotten they existed.

"3 of his very early movies from his grind house days which looks absolutely stunning after Vinegar Syndrome had finished restoring them. Not his best offerings but it helps you understand how his career was progressing & where he'd end up. Definitely worth purchasing whilst it's available."

— Gary W. (4/5)

VS-001 BD

"Great triple bill of ‘sexploitation’ classics from the master …."

— richard c. (5/5)
