Disconnected (1984) - Blu-ray Forum

Love this weird, regional New England supernatural "slasher" flick—such an oddity. God bless Vinegar Syndrome for making it available (albeit for a very limited window). It's one of my most treasured releases. I saw that today Vinegar Syndrome announced co-producer/AD/actor Carmine Capobianco passed away. RIP.

They ended up doing a standard edition afterall... so anyone who missed out on the slip can still pick up this intriguing art-slasher.

Awesome—I missed the boat on that completely. I paid a bit extra to get a used copy on eBay awhile back because I assumed VS wasn't going to do a repress. Glad it's back in print.

Great to see some love for this one. Man, i agree with drownsoda, this is one of my most cherished releases as well. Highly recommend. Love it.

This kills Psychos in Love imo. This is a great gritty 80's movie.

Sadly for me, I also picked this up on Ebay a while back for a fairly high price thinking it was oop. Now they release a standard

Sad that Carmine passed away.

Speaking of... what ever happened to Frances Raines? I thought she had a good screen presence. I always wondered if the claim that she was related to Claude Rains was apocryphal. She seems to have disappeared post-1987.
