Wild Eye Releasing to debut Blu-ray collector’s label Visual Vengeance in July

Wild Eye Releasing has announced that they are launching a new sister label called Visual Vengeance, a Blu-ray collector’s label that will be “dedicated to vintage, sometimes overlooked micro budget genre independents from the 1980s though 2000s.”

The label will include movies from enduring fan favorite directors like Todd Sheets, Bret McCormick, Mark Polonia, Brad Sykes, Kevin Lindenmuth and Donald Farmer, as well as many others – and a good selection of the featured movies have been feared ‘lost’ or remained out of print for decades. All releases will include participation on brand new bonus features with the original creators and stars of the movies, and be released in deluxe collector’s editions with limited edition Slipcase packaging – as well as being loaded with special features. Plus, many will have the addition of liner notes and premium items such as posters, stickers and more surprises.

The first two Blu-rays from Visual Vengeance will be released in July, and the movies getting this special edition treatment are Bloody Muscle Body Builder from 1995 and The Necro Files from 1997. The trailer for Bloody Muscle Body Builder can be seen above, and the trailer for The Necro Files is at the bottom of this article.

I haven’t seen either of these movies yet, but they both sound like a “must watch”. It’s also very cool that Adam Green and Joe Lynch recorded a commentary for Bloody Muscle Body Builder.
