This listing is for the standard edition Blu-ray. The limited edition slipcover (designed by Ralf Krause) was limited to 5,000 units and is sold out. The two versions are identical, aside from the slipcover.
In the near future of 1992, robots have become a facet of everyday life. Dr. Z, the diabolical head of one of the country's top robotics firms, has developed a solution named "Euphoron" which, when injected into his cyborgs, transforms them from man's servant into impossibly strong and powerful killing machines in an attempt by Dr. Z to take absolute power. Realizing the implications of Z's actions, chief robotics engineer Paul Haynes attempts to stop the robot takeover, only to be kidnapped along with his sister, Darla. After achieving a dangerous escape, Darla then enlists the help of tough-as-grit bounty hunter Matt Riker and the two begin a quest to destroy the murderous machines.
The first in a series of bonkers direct-to-video genre films directed by Tim Kincaid (Breeders, Robot Holocaust) for producer Charles Band's Empire Pictures, Mutant Hunt is set in a grimy, neo-apocalypse vision of New York City where robots, mutants, and oppressive government control clash with new wave fashion and sci-fi infused action. Starring Rick Gianasi (Sgt. Kabukiman N.Y.P.D.), Ron Reynaldi (Spike of Bensonhurst), and Adriane Lee (Slammer Girls), Vinegar Syndrome brings this classic slice of 80s video store weirdness to Blu-ray, newly restored in 4K from its 35mm original camera negative.

"I didn't like this movie as much as I was hoping to, despite enjoying other films from Tim Kincaid. The storyline is not the best, and neither is the acting or dialogue. It's not terrible bad, but it's also not "so bad it's good". The picture quality is actually really good though, and some great interviews in the extras, along with a decent slipcover design."
"Let’s start with the good parts of this Movie the design of the slip cover is great and the place it’ll hold in my collection is nice. But this is really a bad bad movie. The cast is horrible. The plot is terrible and none of it makes sense. I’m so glad I own it though because I love terrible movies."
"Really fun low budget flick."
"What a fun movie with a quality transfer."
"Beautiful transfer and presentation. I'd never seen it before and was pleasantly surprised at how good the special effects were. Fun story and enjoyable performances. Glad to add this to my collection"
"This movie could melt the face off a cyborg"
"Starts off really strong, then kinda coasts to the end. Worth a pickup though!"
"Love all the 80’s hair and outfits in this flick. Cool special effects and sill storyline. Very nostalgic. Highly recommended."
"Mutants everywhere but it falls a bit short of a classic"
"Everything about this movie is great. The robots, the outfits, the special effects are really cool. Super fun to watch. It’s low budget, but that’s what we love! Really happy to upgrade my copy from VHS to Blu-ray."
