Details

This listing is for the standard edition Blu-ray. The limited edition slipcover was limited to 2,000 units and is sold out. The two versions are identical, aside from the slipcover.

Saturn's Core Audio & Video is a New Jersey based home video label devoted to releasing underground oddities and shot on video cinema on VHS, and now, blu-ray discs! In partnership with OCN Distribution, Saturn's Core will exhume forgotten or under-seen genre cinema from the 80s and 90s, with an emphasis on SOV horror features. Vinegar Syndrome’s sister company, OCN Distribution, is thrilled to be representing this diverse and unique home video line!

Desperate for cash, young Caroline (Ghetty Chasun) agrees to be injected with an experimental serum by an unscrupulous blood bank doctor. She soon finds herself transformed into a ravenous vampire, stalking the streets of New York City with an unquenchable lust for blood. After killing her doctor and a random string of unfortunate strangers, Caroline crosses paths with Lisa (Michelle Bauer), an innocent woman stranded in the city after a breakup with her former girlfriend. The two broke and star-crossed lovers navigate through the city’s desolate clubs and hotels, fueled only by their sexual lust and symbiotic need for companionship. When Lisa finally learns of Caroline’s murderous proclivities, she becomes a willing participant in her vampiric crimes, until an unfortunate encounter with an indignant pimp leads to tragedy.

Written and directed by SOV legend Donald Farmer (Demon Queen, Scream Dream), Red Lips marked the onscreen confluence of two iconic scream queens: legendary ‘80s siren Michelle Bauer (Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers) and the awe-inspiring ‘90s enigma Ghetty Chasun (Gorotica). With an astonishing supporting cast of cult movie luminaries including Kitten Natividad (Beneath the Valley of the Ultra-Vixens), George Stover (Nightbeast), Danny Fendley (Deadly Run), Lorissa McComas (Stormswept), Christine Cavalier (Bloody Creek), and Mandy Leigh (Bloodscent), Red Lips quickly gained a reputation as a notorious, sex and gore filled, underground classic that is notable as one of the springboards for the SOV lesbian vampire movie explosion, which dominated video shelves and convention tables throughout the 1990s and beyond.

Reviews

Lesbian vampire fun

"Trashy, sexy SOV vampire flick from cult director Donald Farmer. Ghetty Chasun plays a blinder in the lead role. Typically great selection of bonus materials from Saturn's Core to accompany the feature too."

Andrew W. (3/5)

Red Lips

"Red Lips is a fun ultra low budget horror film. The lead actress was good enough to follow. The SOV aspect doesn’t lend well to Blu-ray so there’s only so much they can do to make it look good. The performances ranged from tolerable to awful."

Matt P. (4/5)

Better than a SOV softcore lesbian vampire film should be

"Very cheap as expected but is better written and surprisingly tragic. Doomed SOV yuri for the win"

Ian B. (5/5)

Average lesbian relationship

"Michelle bauer can do no wrong. Amazing charm this movie with great performances and kills."

Sean T. (5/5)

SOV lesbian vampires!

"Interesting release of a shot on video lesbian vampire movie. A staple of mid-1990s video stores, this is a worth while watch for fans of the genre."

Craig K. (5/5)

Red Lips

"Ghetty Chasun! If she is in it, then it is a must buy."

Ryan F. (5/5)

Sleazy Good Time

"Sleazy vampire movie with lots of nudity and zero plot. Yes please!"

Jeffrey L. (4/5)
