Made in Hong Kong Vol 1 (1998-1999) (Vinegar Syndrome) - Page 2 - Blu-ray Forum

Just started in on this set, and started with Deadly Camp. I had a feeling about this one that it would be pretty bland, so I wanted to get it out of the way, but I don't think I was prepared for how bad this is. Terrible editing, acting, scenario, music, 90's clothing...annoying characters, no atmosphere.

It was my least favorite of the set.

After watching the 3 titles in this set I'll give Demon's Baby the top prize. It's easily the most bizarre and features the most outrageous effects. Previously I've seen Demon's Baby and Deadly Camp on DVD. All the films looked good but the extras are pretty sparse. I would classify these titles as lower tier but it's nice to have them in this set at a decent price. Anthony Wong appears in all 3 but has little screen time other than Erotic Nightmare.

I just finished watching this set. Erotic Nightmare was my favorite due to the sleaze but The Demon's Baby was pretty great too and totally nuts. I also couldn't stand Deadly Camp though. Super annoying and constantly screaming characters, even when they were just talking. A double feature would have been plenty here.

Curious when the second volume will be out.

Is this a safe blind buy? I love stuff like, Guyver, Bride With White Hair, House, Versus, Bio Zombie, Wicked City live action etc.

The movies in this set won't appeal to everyone. You mention a couple of HK films so you may find it worthwhile.

Just whatched these….really hope volume 2 will get better titles. Deadly camp was just awful…. And not in a good way.

I liked Deadly Camp, but definitely in a so bad it’s good sort of way. The whole thing felt like the makers were trying WAY too hard to make an American style slasher movie, and failing at most turns, but it found that entertaining for what it is personally.

The movie look soooo cheap filmed on homevideo style....the gore was pretty much nowhere to be found. This movie was just bad....in a bad way.
