Pitchfork Murders & Oderus Urungus - New This Week 4.8.14

There's some very cool new stuff out there this week worth checking out. Up first from Vinegar Syndrome is the Drive-In Collection DVD of the Dr. Jekyll Portfolio and A Clockwork Blue. If you missed the limited Blu-ray release a couple of weeks back you can pick up the DVD now from the VS shop. I believe the only difference between the two releases (apart from the fact that one is a Blu-ray) was that the Blu-ray featured the X-rated cut of Clockwork that features bit of hardcore footage.

JEKYLL & HYDE PORTFOLIO (1971)
In this notorious mix of sexploitation and slasher, a mysterious murderer is terrorizing the patients and staff at a rural sanitarium. Who will be the killer’s next prey in this blood and sex soaked classic?

A CLOCKWORK BLUE (1972)
Hapless researcher Homer travels through history, discovering the erotic secrets of the past in this lost screwball sexploitation gem.

Also from Vinegar Syndrome is the way-better-than-it-should-be WIP film Lust For Freedom. This one has all of the elements; Awkward kung fu, exploding cars, Michelle Bauer boobs, Grim Reaper on the soundtrack, and a warden who looks like a drag Adrienne Barbeau. It's cheap and tacky, but I had a lot of fun with it and I recommend those of you who don't need movies to "be good" or "make sense" check it out.
