ETR Media is the brand new film distribution arm of Enjoy the Ride Records, a Long Island based record label, specializing in cult following reissues through a variety of genres. ETR Media releases will adhere to the same quality standards as fans have come to associate with their lavish LP reissues. Vinegar Syndrome’s sister company, OCN Distribution, is thrilled to be representing this new and unique home video line!

Ennio (Stefan Sauk), a giallo-obsessed VHS collector with a drinking problem finds a highly collectable video tape that could solve his money problems and save him from eviction. He makes a deal with a shady, anonymous collector before realising the video has been stolen.

So begins Ennio’s desperate hunt for the black-gloved perpetrator while, along the way, he meets Simone (Lena Nilsson), an alcoholic woman obsessed with the 80s. His and Simone’s mutual love of nostalgia draws them together. As the search for the tape goes on, Ennio’s life turns into one of the giallo movies he likes to watch…

Alan Jones of FrightFest called it ”Dario Argento meets Mike Leigh”. Kristian A. Söderström’s feature film debut is a darkly comic, creepy and incredibly moving celebration of both gialli and social realism. Fans of genre cinema, art cinema, and collectors will find Videoman an absolute blast.

Reviews

Unexpected treat

"This is one of the few partner label I have gotten from VinSyn and it doesn’t disappoint the delivery was fast as usual and the packaging is top of the line the feel is top quality. This is a very nice release"

— No N. (5/5)

VHS Obsession With Giallo Bite

"A neat modern cult item for anyone who has ever understood the sickness of hunting down tapes. The giallo obsession, shady collector angle and melancholy nostalgia give Videoman more flavor than a simple throwback. It feels right at home as an ETR/OCN release, especially with a slip that leans into that collector-brain itch."

— Danny W. (5/5)

This one came highly recommended

"This one came highly recommended from several people! Yet to watch but not heard a bad thing yet! Great slipcover and hard to ignore from the synopsis alone, picked up for like £8 in a sale with slip!! How could you say no!!"

— PAUL A. (5/5)

Interesting if not completely successful

"Interesting if not completely successful horror thriller involving a rare VHS tape. Worth a watch for all tape heads! Extras were decent as was the artwork."

— Kyle C. (3/5)

Unexpected Gem!

"I got this during a recent sale for a great price and overspent overall so I considered cancelling this one. Boy am I glad that I did not! One of the better movies I have watched recently. Blends a lot of elements including aspects about addiction, relationships, some mystery aspects. The sound and look of the movie is excellent. Highly recommended! The slipcover is also very nice, looks like a worn vhs."

— Patrick M. (5/5)

Plenty of easter eggs

"It wasn't what I was expecting . So many great Easter eggs of posters and VHS which is fun to watch as a collector. The movies dialogue is accurate to this scene."

— Alex R. (4/5)
