Reviews
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)
Fun Cult Sci-Fi Thriller
"A very entertaining cult release with a great mix of sci-fi, thriller elements, and stylish presentation. The transfer looks solid, and the film’s energy comes through nicely. A fun addition for fans of offbeat genre cinema."
— Thomas L. (4/5)

Good but not great. Has
"Good but not great. Has that straight to VHS or cable TV look and vibe. There’s some cool stuff in there but just felt like it needed a bit more."

Steel and Lace
"Not bad."
— Daniel W. (5/5)
Steel and lace. . . and an electric stomach drill
"What a very pleasant surprise! Lots of familiar faces in the cast, and so much better than the premise suggests. Excellent effects and some nice understated acting in the quieter moments. Great ending to wrap things us as well. An excellent making of documentary in the extras too, that's well worth a watch. . . . Also, I would love to see a buddy cop movie with just the detective and the coroner!"
— Scott L. (5/5)
