  • AGFA Releasing Attack Of The Beast Creatures

    Coming in January.

    https://vinegarsyndrome.com/collecti...east-creatures

    A beloved regional horror vortex that was conjured in Connecticut, ATTACK OF THE BEAST CREATURES is a triumph of low budget ingenuity. In an unknown galaxy, a group of travelers crash their boat on an island. At first, all is well. But when a man takes a dip in an acid lake and becomes a steaming pile of gloop, it's clear that there's trouble in paradise. That's when the cult of demon dolls reveal themselves . . . and their appetite for eating faces. Fueled by outrageous gore, a sublime synthesizer score, and jaw-dropping puppet effects, this is what happens when a mid-century creature feature collides with DIY surrealism and everyone wins. AGFA is honored to present ATTACK OF THE BEAST CREATURES—originally known as HELL ISLAND—on disc for the first time, featuring a restoration from the original 16mm camera negative and an island full of bloodthirsty extras.

      I'm actually pretty fond of this 'no acting skills needed' DIY puppet creature flick. It's not good, but it is good fun. It'll be great to see it upgraded from the VHS.

        Yeah, it's goofy fun. Imagine the TRILOGY OF TERROR Zuni fetish doll (done much more amateurishly) multiplied by a few dozen. The quality of the image on tape was low, even for VHS standards, so this upcoming version is undoubtedly gonna be a huge improvement.
        VHS will never die!

          Yeah the print quality looks good, I'm not a fan of most SoV horror, this looks like it was shot on 16mm?
