Two lost horror projects from director James Bryan (DON’T GO IN THE WOODS) and producer-writer-star Renee Harmon (LADY STREET FIGHTER)!
JUNGLE TRAP is the final collaboration between James Bryan (DON’T GO IN THE WOODS) and Renee Harmon; a surreal horror dreamscape about a jungle hotel haunted by kill-crazy ghosts in loin cloths. Shot in 1990, the movie was unedited, unscored, and unseen by human eyes for over two decades . . . until the the Bleeding Skull! team meticulously edited the movie under Bryan’s guidance and recorded a soundtrack utilizing vintage synthesizers.
RUN COYOTE RUN is the ambitious, nightmarish lost project from Renee Harmon and James Bryan. Compiled from over a decade of footage and a sequel to the earlier LADY STREET FIGHTER, this patchwork synapse-fryer features psychic cops, axe-murdering cult members, and reality-defying fist fights.

Reviews
The wonderful, strange world of Renee Harmon
"Jungle Trap was abandoned in 1990 and finished in 2016. Another fun James Bryan/Renee Harmon collab, SOV but with stock footage thrown in plus a very cool new score by Bleeding Skull's Ziemba and Choi. Run Coyote Run is a "reimagining" of Lady Street Fighter, with new SOV footage, re-edited, and footage from a couple other Harmon movies. Definitely entertaining, it's weird and doesn't make a lot of sense (that adds to the fun, of course). I'm new to the Renee Harmon game and to be honest it's not nearly as good as Lady Street Fire but so far all Renee Harmon is good Renee Harmon."
— Michael C. (5/5)
Two nifty indie films on one release
"This release is clearly proof of the filmmaker’s love of the project. It features a score that you won’t soon forget. I purchased mine straight from the Vinegar Syndrome website."
— Mark H. (5/5)
Fun SOV action
"Two SOV features, one a tiny bit reminiscent of Indiana Jones in the jungle of apartment courtyard, and the other a Western set in the 1970s. Comes with a handful of extras including a behind the scenes of how the jungle trap project came about."
— Kresh R. (3/5)
Pleasant surprise
"I like SOV, Rene Harmon and James Bryan films but of all my Subscriber Week purchases, this was the one I was most on the fence about for some reason. I mean, it was probably left unfinished with due cause, right? I’m happy to say that after watching Jungle Trap, it was well worth the purchase. No, it is not good in any traditional sense but for trash horror aficionados, it’s enjoyable and entertaining. SOV can be a slog at times, which I didn’t find to be the case with JT. I might even watch this again!"
— Brian C. (5/5)
Movies are pretty bad
"I love AGFA and all that they do but man were these movies hard to get through."
— Paul W. (3/5)
Jungle Trap
"As a die hard Renee Harmon fan, I couldn’t pass up this SOV duo of action horror oddities. It’s a great package with striking yet minimal slipcover art and interesting extras."
— Ben S. (5/5)
Jungle Trap / Run Coyote Run
"Really enjoy a lot of AGFA releases. This is no exception."
— Ryan F. (4/5)
Good SOV double bill.
"Fun SOV double bill. If you don’t like shot on video productions, then this is unlikely to be for you. If you are, then you will like it."
— Rene R. (5/5)
Jungle Trap / Run Coyote Run
"Fun Shot-on Video amateur adventure with a cool synth score! Z Grade Beer Drinking flick! A+ Nice Packaging! A++"
— Dustin S. (5/5)
<3 Renee Harmon.
"One of the worst movies I've ever seen. 10/10 would buy again. Not quite as good as Frozen Scream, but the music went a lot harder than I expected."
— Rachel C. (5/5)
