Heavy metal band Solid Gold are heading up into the snowy mountains to shoot their latest music video, accompanied by their crew and a host of scantily-clad dancers. However, it’s not long before a huge avalanche rocks the area, trapping the rockers and their glamorous entourage on the mountain. The group attempts to radio for help, unaware that its troubles have only just begun - for nearby, a feral, disfigured family has been hiding out in an abandoned factory for decades, and it doesn't take kindly to strangers. As, one by one, the members of the group wander off to explore the factory, the carnage begins as the crazed family resorts to every possible bloodthirsty measure in an attempt to protect its territory.
Helmed by the enigmatic and extremely prolific Swedish director Mats Helge Olsson (The Ninja Mission), with additional directorial duties being handled by notorious British sexploiter Derek Ford (whose horror writing credits include Don’t Open Till Christmas and The House That Vanished), and starring the then-members of real-life Swedish glam metal band Easy Action, BLOOD TRACKS is a satisfyingly gruesome slasher outing offering up a surprising variety of gory thrills - including impalements, bisections and burnings - plus plentiful bare skin. Now newly restored in 4K from its original 35mm film elements and presented in stunning scope for the very first time, Vinegar Syndrome is delighted to crank up BLOOD TRACKS for its world Blu-ray debut, accompanied by a rocking selection of both new and archival extras!

"I have not seen this movie since the VHS days but I can say for sure this presentation it’s probably as good as it’s ever gonna get and it looks and sounds great. The packaging and artwork looks very good. There are lots of great extras here to be found as well. If you want to watch a good slasher or backwoods style slasher in a winter setting this is the movie for you"
"A heavy metal band in the snowy mountains to shoot a music video, what could go wrong? I was happy to finally upgrade my dvd and this release has a good amount of special features. The reverse original artwork is always appreciated but I do like the new art too."
"Rock band slashers are a cool subgenre. Snowy slashers are another. I'd wanted to see BT for years, so when this edition was announced it was an instant purchase. Some talk about the audio mix has been aired but it sounded at least better than a worn out VHS tape would've. Happy to have this on my shelf."
"Blood Tracks is exactly the kind of offbeat 80s slasher that cult horror fans love to discover. The film embraces pure mayhem, mixing isolated locations, practical effects, and an energetic body count into a fast-moving, entertaining ride. It never takes itself too seriously, which adds to its charm. The included extras are a welcome addition, providing interesting background on the production and helping put the film into context. They make the release feel like a true collector’s edition rather than just a barebones presentation. The artwork is another standout. It perfectly captures the film’s heavy metal aesthetic and snowy horror atmosphere, giving the package excellent shelf presence and making it an eye-catching addition to any collection. Overall, this is a fun, well-presented release that celebrates a cult slasher with the care it deserves."
"Big Hair? Check. Title song thats an ear worm? Check. Cannibals? CHECK CHECK CHECK! I originally saw Blood tracks on a crappy vhs copy so this restoration and transfer was a god send. While it had always been enjoyable. . . now blood tracks is downright genre defining. Think a rock band vs the hills have eyes and you have a idea of what you are in store for. The extras are great. Actors return to tell the tale."
"This was a weird little slasher. It had some good kills, and I genuinely liked the hair band. They weren't played as caricatures. The threat in this film to them is ludicrous though. That really brought the movie down to me."
"If you were wondering what it would look like if an 80's hair band and the hills have eyes birthed a movie look no further than Blood Tracks."
"Blood Tracks feels like someone threw a slasher, a music video, and a snowstorm into a blender and somehow made it work. The atmosphere alone sold me immediately — snowy settings in horror always hit different, especially mixed with the grimy 80s aesthetic and over-the-top kills. It’s cheesy in the best way possible, but there’s still something genuinely creepy underneath all the chaos. Movies like this are exactly why I got into the genre because they feel way more creative and memorable than a lot of modern stuff."
"This one was fun. I hope VS puts out more Swedish horror from the 1980s."
"A Swedish hair metal band, nudity, blood, and snow. What more do you need"
