Hailed by The LA Times as "an impressively ambitious and potent first feature," Alexander Cassini's STAR TIME is an angst-ridden study of violent psychosis and media obsession, pronounced by surrealist visuals and gory violence.

Reviews

Bizarre

"A bizarre, grimy crime movie that feels like a fever dream made on a shoestring budget. It’s rough as hell, but there’s something weirdly hypnotic about it."

— Tyler S. (3/5)

A truly bizarre and mesmerizing

"A truly bizarre and mesmerizing piece of early ’90s horror that feels years ahead of its time. With its surreal atmosphere and bold style, it deserves far more recognition than it gets. Michael St. Gerard gives a fantastic performance, and Vinegar Syndrome’s Blu-ray is a beautiful way to experience this hidden gem. Easily one of the most underrated genre films of its era and absolutely worth revisiting."

— Stefan K. (5/5)

Great discovery

"Really interesting 90s art-house slasher with surreal imagery. Nice discovery"

— Armando V. (4/5)

One of my favorite release of the early VS years

"One of my favorite release of the early VS years"

— Esteban M. (4/5)

Nice slasher

"Decent slasher . Campy."

— Brad Z. (5/5)

Star time is a good time

"This one is a little artsy but there's just something about watching an actor I grew up playing Elvis be a crazy serial killer and theres also something about getting supergirl's best friend be the final girl. The director definetly had a unique vision and the effects are low budget but effective and the features brought some clarity"

— Ryan S. (5/5)

Fun

"Really weird."

— Charles W. (5/5)

Star Time

"effects are great."

— Jason S. (5/5)

Utterly Deranged

"RIYL movies about weird loners losing their shit, IE: Maniac, Don’t Go in the House, etc. This is similar to that but with a Videodrome vibe. Sleeper hit."

— Tyler M. (4/5)

Star Time

"Great transfer and restoration. Good acting and esoteric arthouse thriller. Great extras. Grab it before it´s gone."

— Hansi L. (5/5)
