Presented in partnership with Something Weird Video...
The American Genre Film Archive (AGFA) represents the world's largest theatrical catalog of exploitation cinema. Their home video line presents a diverse selection of movies, ranging from new preservations of classics from the vast library of Something Weird to the wildest in shot-on-video (SOV) titles. Vinegar Syndrome’s sister company, OCN Distribution, is thrilled to be representing this diverse and unique home video line!
No one will ever make movies like Doris Wishman made movies. One of the most prolific women filmmakers in the history of American cinema, writer-director-editor Wishman created collisions between surrealism and exploitation that feel like they materialized from an alternate universe. THE FILMS OF DORIS WISHMAN: THE MOONLIGHT YEARS surveys the mid-period, gutter-noir era of Wishman’s career. From BAD GIRLS GO TO HELL (Wishman’s iconic crime epic) to INDECENT DESIRES (a horror-tinged sexploitation mindwarp), AGFA + Something Weird are honored to present these triumphant DIY treasures in sparkling new restorations.

Reviews
Wish She Was My Aunt
"Everything has already been said about the movies. As for the AGFA packaging, it's excellent. All three volumes look gorgeous stacked together, even if the magnetic cases are a little. . . weird!"
— massimiliano m. (5/5)
Wishman is Glorious Trash
"Doris Wishman films are like “Pieces” - they are exactly what you think they are: glorious, low budget trash that isn’t to be taken seriously. The entire three-part set is great for fans of the genre but NOT for casuals. The magnetic set is awesome."
— Aaron P. (5/5)
Classic 60s nudist exploitation
"Super low-budget and kind of quirky, but pretty cool if you're into weird old cult cinema. Peak Doris Wishman vibes."
— CHAN T. (5/5)
The Films of Doris Wishman: The Moonlight Years
"Another beautiful set bought that completes the collection. Not for everyone, but a must to experience."
— Ryan F. (5/5)
More AGFA goodness
"I love everything AGFA, especially deep dives like this into a niche filmography. Excellent work here as always."
— Graham S. (5/5)
Great set from AGFA, looking
"Great set from AGFA, looking forward to watching these"
— David H. (5/5)
Possibly the Definitive Period
"A lot of folks find Wishman's work through her two films with Chesty Morgan and often consider that her most iconic work, but none of that would be possible without her black and white roughie period collected here. Bad Girls Go to Hell and The Sex Perils of Pauline are the actual definitive films of Doris Wishman and it's great to finally see them restored."
— Carlos E. (5/5)
