Reviews
Brother's Love A sister's Revenge.
"It's a nice thing to do to your sister. . . . . after she jumps off a building after her gang of rapists gets aquidted So you turned her into a kill-bot it's no big deal. when she's done with getting even why you can just reprogram her. . . Its all good, unless she decides to take another nosedive and take you with her. It is a really good movie that doesn't require to many brain cells."
— Kevin L. (5/5)

— William H. (4/5)
Film discovered thanks to VS
"Bought this on a blind buy. Enjoyed it way more than I thought I would. I appreciate VS’s varied titles they decide to release. I wouldn’t have discovered this one without them. The packaging and cover art are top notch. The picture quality was really good. Fun little watch. Enjoyed the special features too. Worthy to be added to any collection."
— Christopher F. (5/5)
Death Wish meets Lady Terminator
"What a treat! Steel & Lace is quite a romp, peak early 90's straight-to-video sleaze and perfect for the VinSyn catalogue. The cast is non-professional but earnest and the violence/practical effects are deliciously brutal. The extras are satisfactory; an audio commentary and extended making of documentary add value to the total package, as does the slip design. Grab a copy next sale, kick back, and enjoy the sight of a sexy cyborg making steak tartare out of some perverts."
— Shawn P. (5/5)
Better Than The Terminator? Maybe!
"If you're craving the insane energy that only classic video store exploitation can provide, look no further! Steel and Lace is about as lunatic as they come! Vinegar Syndrome graces this release with a typically crystal clear transfer and tacks on an hour-long documentary for good measure."
— Steven M. (5/5)
