Details

This is the listing for the standard edition Blu-ray/DVD Combo. The special limited edition embossed slipcover (designed by Ralf Krause) is limited to 3,000 units and is sold out. The two versions are identical, aside from the slipcover.

The beautiful Linnea Quigley stars in two erotic thrillers from filmmaker David DeCoteau.

First, in MURDER WEAPON, two women, who have just been released from an asylum hold a party to reunite with their old boyfriends. Soon though a mysterious black clad killer begins murdering the boys in increasingly gruesome ways. Can the murderer be unmasked before it's too late?

Then, in DEADLY EMBRACE, a lonely and under-sexed housewife hires a studly houseman, only to begin an affair with him. But when his actress girlfriend (Linnea Quigley) comes to visit, as well as her wealthy husband (Jan-Michael Vincent), things start happening that no one would have expected...

Never released theatrically, Vinegar Syndrome is proud to have restored these nudity and blood filled direct to video classics from their long lost 16mm camera negatives and bring them to Blu-ray for the first time.

Reviews

Double Trouble

"I gotta say Deadly Embrace is way better than Murder Weapon but both were enjoyable. Linnea Quigley is great in both of them though. The cover art is fun. The picture quality is a lot better than you’d think too."

Good sleazy fun

"Awesome double feature with some over the top kills and a bunch of boobies."

Edward V. (4/5)

"Linnea Quigley & Michelle Bauer !!"

richard c. (5/5)

Nice double feature by iconic

"Nice double feature by iconic genre director David DeCoteau. If you are even a little familiar with DeCoteau's output you know what to expect: definitely not the most ambitious or competent filmmaker, but always a lot of fun!"

Nicolas P. (4/5)

I ❤️ Linnea

"a double dose of Linnea with a splash of Michelle Bauer, its heavenly"

Carl R. (5/5)

Get When on Sale

"Get this release when it's on sale and you won't regret it. Haven't had a chance to peruse the extras yet, but there aren't too many. Did not get the slipcover version, as there are none left, but this was right up my alley!"

Nicholas T. (5/5)
