Xtro 3: Watch the Skies coming from Vinegar Syndrome

[DR Herbert West]

Vinegar Syndrome Exclusive (Limited Edition of 2,000):


Wide release version:

A group of military personnel have been assembled to, they believe, locate and disarm old active explosives which have been left unattended at a former army testing site on a remote island. But when they arrive at the deserted island, they soon discover that something doesn't seem quite right about their mission. Soon enough, they uncover a strange concrete block which, after accidentally blowing up, unleashes an indestructible, bloodthirsty alien being which will stop at nothing to kill them. As the survivors band together in order to stay alive and try and find a way to outwit the diabolical creature, they realize that their entire mission might have been a trap and that the military is using them as pawns in their own vicious plan...

The third and most violent entry in the XTRO trilogy, Harry Bromley Davenport's XTRO 3: WATCH THE SKIES moves the setting to Southern
California while amping up both the action and the gore, through a series of nasty and inventive death scenes. Featuring a talented supporting cast, including Virgil Frye (Easy Rider, Graduation Day), Andrew Divoff (Air Force One, Toy Soldiers), Nigel Gibbs (Pump Up the Volume), and Robert Culp (I Spy) and photographed by Irv Goodnoff (Evilspeak, The Farmer), Vinegar Syndrome presents this underrated slice of 90s action tinged sci-fi/horror on Blu-ray for the very first time, newly restored in 2k from its original 35mm camera negative.

Bonus Features:
1. Region Free Blu-ray/DVD combo
2. Newly scanned & restored in 2k from its 35mm camera negative
3. "Winning and Losing" - an interview with director Harry Bromley Davenport
4. "Acting like a Writer" - an interview with writer/actor Daryl Haney

6. Reversible cover artwork
7. English SDH subtitles

I've only seen the first movie. Are these all connected as sequels or individuals?

Are Diabolik and VS the only two places that sell the VS releases with slipcovers?

Now *this* is how all our favorite B-movies should look on Blu-Ray! Thank you VS for this wonderful gift. Can you just imagine how this would have looked under lesser capable hands? It would have just been slapped onto disc at a measly 20 mbps bitrate, with DNR and a crappy, old transfer and lousy encode. I'm looking at you, Kino and Scream Factory! Take heed from the experts at Vinegar Syndrome that *this* is the way you do a wonderful, hokey, fun low budget B movie from the '90s true justice. Film grain. No DNR. Wonderful new transfer. Extremely high bitrate (35 mbps!) on a BD-50. A fabulous encode, with high-quality commercial-grade compression suite and authoring suite software!

Seeing the heights to which the format is capable of makes me feel extremely spoiled by VS and very obviously shamed by the shoddy transfers that Kino and Shout, and other lesser boutique companies have released.
