[HOME INVASION] New Blu-Ray Releases for October 7, 2014

It’s that time of year again! There’s a chill in the air, pumpkin spice mania has taken over the nation, and horror movies are being released by the truckload. Let’s take a look at some of the highlights:

Raw Force Blu-Ray. United States. Vinegar Syndrome

Welcome to Warrior’s Island, burial ground of disgraced martial arts masters! When the Burbank Kung Fu Club travels to this mysterious island, they quickly find themselves facing the bloodthirsty vengeance of flesh ripping kung fu fighting zombies, gun-toting white slave traders and a band of strange monks, who may be the only key to explaining the madness. Edward Murphy’s RAW FORCE is a virtual smorgasbord of over the top sleaze — mixing zombies, cannibals, outrageous action, gore, nudity and starring exploitation greats, Cameron Mitchell and Vic Diaz.
Vinegar Syndrome presents this quintessential piece of early 80’s trash newly restored from the original camera negative and on blu-ray for the first time!

Special Features:

• New 2K Restoration From The 35mm Negative
