It’s Vinegar Syndrome time again! For March/April 2020, we were a bit spoiled, getting 4 separate Blu-rays to review from the film restoration company. We started with a review of Vin Syn’s Deadline (1980) 2k restoration DVD/Blu-ray (you can read that review here), then we went with James Bryan’s scenery-chewing romp, Hell Riders (1984 – read …

Yxxan is a fairly new band, with Satanic Fortification Overbalance being their second demo. Their first demo, Inverterat Korstag, was released June 1, 2019. Not much is known about the band, besides the fact that it is Morbid Aggressor’s one-woman Swedish band. Before I discuss Satanic Fortification Overbalance, I need …

Vision Film’s Nation’s Fire is a bit of mixed bag for me. Its heart is in the right place with what it wanted to do, but I felt that the finished product just wasn’t all that great. The acting was there with Bruce Dern (The ‘Burbs 1989) and Krista Grotte …
