Viewing Notes

Severin has been pushing this title for the past week as it’s one of their new releases for Black Friday. Decided to give it a go on Prime to see what it was all about (wish every “new” genre release was available streaming to preview before buying). This is an interesting flick from Tigon Pictures that is very 1970s in its premise. Wouldn’t call this particularly good but it has its moments. Also the version on Prime has been trimmed of 15 minutes and the transfer isn’t so hot. Would like to see the Severin release to compare.
