The American Genre Film Archive (AGFA) represents the world's largest theatrical catalog of exploitation cinema. Their home video line presents a diverse selection of movies, ranging from new preservations of classics from the vast library of Something Weird to the wildest in shot-on-video (SOV) titles.

After starring in 100 movies over the past two decades, Tina Krause has established herself as an unstoppable warrior from the DIY fringes. LIMBO is the first -- and to this day, only -- movie written and directed by Krause. And it’s truly invigorating. LIMBO presents three days in the life of a woman named Elizabeth, as she deals with identity issues, sexist mouth-breathers, supernatural manifestations . . . and a possible trip to hell. Combining video collage experiments with dreamy horror mood, this is what might happen if David Lynch and Nine Inch Nails collaborated on a shot-on-video horror movie. Previously only available via VHS, AGFA and Bleeding Skull! are honored to present a brand new transfer of LIMBO from the original S-VHS master tape.
directed by: Tina Krause starring: Tina Krause, Barron, Suze Daufler, Sean Farrell 1999 / 55 min / 1.33:1 / English mono

Reviews
Limbo
"Sov masterpiece"
— Marko L. (5/5)
Apparently this film was inspired
"Apparently this film was inspired by Director Tina Krause's own nightmares and hallucinations accidentally caused by a drugged chocolate. I'd believe that. Another wonderful release by AGFA who truly never put a foot wrong."
— Kirk W. (5/5)
Wave adjacent
"Total vibe and a gem packed with features including excellent commentary. This is a dreamy arthouse gem vs almost creature feature (but is it)? Wicked vibe."
— Ben C. (5/5)
Giving it a second go.
"My first experience with Limbo wasn't one I was very fond of, but I feel like I just wasn't on the right mood for it at the time. A second viewing surely changed that. Fantastic release by AGFA."
— Francisco L. (5/5)
Tina Krause <3
"The film is obviously flawed, and I for one found it difficult to fully appreciate going in blind on the first viewing, but the context provided by the bonus features make this an excellent release. Tina Krause is so charismatic, charming, and cool and it's a shame she didn't direct more movies or act in more films that she didn't have to greatly elevate with her presence, but there's still time - we need more films by tough NJ women who live on the fringes of society in abandoned warehouses for a decade inspired by an accidental 3 day trip and fueled by the desire to break free of the world of unambitious fetish films"
— Ryan M. (5/5)
Very fun
"Surrealist and original"
— Sean T. (5/5)
Entertaining
"Another AGFA hit!!"
— chris b. (5/5)
"I'm not sure what I
""I'm not sure what I expected, but it definitely wasn't this. Peak SOV"
— Manuel S. (3/5)
An hour of mind bending psycho madness
"A completely solid piece of avant garde psychological horror filtered through a grimy late 90s SOV lenses."
— William H. (5/5)
Krause Magic
"FFO all things Tina Krause! Her directorial debut and a superb one at that."
— Valentine S. (5/5)
