"This movie is an absolute classic and the tension builds up so well from start to finish. Vinegar Syndrome did an amazing job cleaning up the picture quality, making the swamp setting look incredibly detailed. The slipcover artwork is top-tier and looks awesome"
"This was a blind buy for me, but a pleasant surprise. I really enjoyed this movie, great transfer and really love the packaging. Great special features as always"
"A gritty survival story with minimal character development. Excellent restoration, the HDR really pops on this film. The new slipcase variant artwork looks really nice. VS did a grat job with this one."
"So pleased VS reissued this, as the original release sold out before I had a 4k player. . . and honestly, I think I prefer the new artwork on the packaging. One of my favourite hicksploitation films which unusually also plays with tropes of folk horror, and one of Walter Hills best. Looks fantastic in 4k and has some great interviews as extras. Highly recommended."
"I really liked this transfer of Southern Comfort. The colors align with the feel of this masterpiece of tension and drama. I also like another box set was really after the original sold out. Another hit out of the ballpark for Vinegar Syndrome."
"Truly one of the most underrated action films of the last 50 years! And I can’t say enough about the transfer and packaging- once again Vinegar Syndrome has outdone itself. Don’t sleep on this one folks!"
"One of Walter hills greatest and deeply underrated masterpieces is back. I'm not going to lie the box art is a little bit weird but damn I love this movie. Way better than Deliverance."
"Superb respect of treatment to this classic of a film nice extras But the best thing is the restoration of this film Amazing detail and clarity"
"Southern Comfort is back, this time with a very nice variant slipcase packaging. We all know the movie is awesome, and this new edition is as well."
"This new packaging really speaks to me, i love the artwork"
