Worth the pick up if you can get it on sale. Not sure why this is still available. Solid release by VS
- JSJaskaran S.Verified Buyer2 weeks agoRated 5 out of 5 starsPeak ’80s sci-fi adventure nostalgia 😁
D. A. R. Y. L. is exactly the kind of ’80s movie that still works for me because it mixes family adventure with just enough darker sci-fi stuff underneath. Barret Oliver is great as Daryl, and the movie does a good job making you care about him before the whole government-experiment angle really kicks in.
I also love how it shifts from this warm suburban family story into car chases, military cover-ups, and full-on escape-movie territory. It has that very specific ’80s balance where a movie can be kid-friendly and still feel a little dangerous. Michael McKean, Mary Beth Hurt, and Colleen Camp are all great in it too.
The 4K is a huge upgrade. Vinegar Syndrome restored it from the original 35mm camera negative with HDR, and it looks clean and detailed without losing the film texture. The 55-minute making-of documentary and Simon Wincer commentary are exactly the kind of extras I want on a nostalgia title like this.
And the VSU packaging is ridiculous in the best way — magnetic box, Robert Sammelin artwork, booklet, the whole deal. Pure ’80s comfort food with a killer collector edition. Easy 5/5 for me. 😁

One of my favourite childhood films, shown such love and reverence! I am beyond impressed with Vinegar Syndrome releases, and will be purchasing many, many more!

Classic 80s movie, which is a must buy for Gen X me. VS did such an amazing job on it. Highly recommended!
- CFChristopher F.Verified Buyer2 weeks agoRated 5 out of 5 starsReally liked the film as a kid; it still holds up
Was excited when I discovered VS had done a release of this film. I really enjoyed watching it as a kid. Had not watched it since. As soon as I discovered VS had worked their “magic” on it, I decided I had to pick it up. I was not disappointed. Great packaging. The transfer is outstanding. Good special features. You should add this to your film collection.
