Synapse Films: Titles Coming Soon!

I've only seen the 3rd Violent Shit film but I remember enjoying the hell out of it despite it being...well....SHIT.

Definitely getting the collection to see the other films (and the chance to rewatch 3 in 16x9 widescreen)

 

I've seen video reviews for the series and they really do look shit lol. Guess they're at least true to the name.. Violent and Shit! Easy pass.

 

Yep.

 

I find it odd that Synapse is putting this out.

 

I don't think its odd or out of line at all. They've always released lots of obscure, bizarre, or lesser known/appreciated titles from all over the world; Lucker the Necrophagous is the closest example that'd be similar to the Violent Shit films (SOV gorefest) that they've put out on the past. I mean, Synapse has films like Entrails of a Virgin, Moriturus: Legions of the Dead, Animalada, Battle Girl: The Living Dead at Tokyo Bay, Death of a Snowman, The Image, Rosarigasinos, etc. etc. So their catalog is and always has been eclectic.

 

I find it odd that you commented on it.

 

I really wish that Synapse would give Evil Dead Trap the 2K or 4K treatment.
The old non-anamorphic dvd doesn't look so hot these days.

 

Not exactly sure what to meant by that but yeah, I said what said and meant it. It is a release that I feel is beneath Synapse.

I do like your reply if it was sarcastic as I am one of many opinions.

 

You don't need to explain a thing to Twister or anyone else on this board.

Just be yourself.

 

Good point there. I tend to overlook those titles. I am ashamed to say that I have not checked out Lucker yet even though it appears to be up my alley. I think I procrastinated as it sounds like a cheaper version of stuff I like as in a cheaper Maniac. Anyway, will check this out this weekend. What I was trying to say is basically given May's ability, he could be working on such better stuff. Not to dog on anyone's taste for the really low grade fare. I do dabble in that area as well, after all.

 

It was meant to be sarcastic.

 

Don got a rash of shit when he announced that Synapse was releasing Lucker. It was the usual 'Why are you guys wasting your time with that garbage?' stuff. Me? I pre-ordered it and am happy to have it. The doc on the production history alone was enough for me, as well as the work done in reconstructing the new print. Yes, it's a somewhat dull, but is grungy and gross enough to warrant a buy.

Don had the last laugh: Lucker was one of their best sellers that year.

 

Some horror fans these days can be selfish little boogers. They act like a company should release only titles they like and screw others.

They're not forcing you to buy the title so move on and spend your cash elsewhere.

 

Does anyone know if Synapse is still planning to release Creature from Black Lake on blu? There was an announcement in late 2015, but I can't find any updates. Thanks in advance.

 

I think I read they couldn't find suitable elements.

 

Thanks, CPT HOOK. Damn. That was my fear. Yet another 70s sasquatch flick destined to look like balls until the end of time...

Dean Cundey shot this one. It would be nice to see it show up in reasonable quality at some point.

Now we're going to be hearing endlessly about this "great 80s horror" until doomsday I suppose.
