Vinegar Syndrome has announced that they will be releasing Death Machines on Blu-ray on November 29th. You may be asking yourself, “what the hell is Death Machines?” And I’ll admit that’s a fair question, but I’m here to let you know this is wonderful news because Death Machines is awesome. Is it good? Eh, I suppose if you have a really loose definition of good, but it is very much awesome and oh so much fun! If you don’t believe me check out the trailer:
See, I told you it was amazing! The trailer doesn’t really tell you what the movie is about, but that’s largely because it’s nearly impossible to describe what this movie is about. It just is. I can’t believe this has been restored in 4k and I can’t believe it’s coming to Blu-ray, but man I could not be happier.
Synopsis:
Madame Lu has created three ‘Death Machines’, a trio of martial arts experts who have been injected with a special serum, turning them into mindless zombies, capable only of murder, at Lu’s command. Tasked with eliminating her enemies, the Death Machines go on a blood soaked rampage, killing anyone in their path. After they massacre an entire dojo, leaving only one survivor, the Death Machines and Madame Lu herself become the targets of his vengeance…
Part kung fu film, part revenge thriller, and part sci-fi/horror, director Paul Kyriazi’s debut feature is a head spinning, non-stop thrill ride of gratuitous violence and bizarre plot twists, guaranteed to satisfy the cinematic cravings of even the most discriminating fans of drive-in movies.
