Description

Henry Pinkle (Michael St. Gerard) lives for television. This world of make-believe consumes his every waking moment. But when his favorite show is canceled, Henry is driven over the edge and decides to commit suicide. Then he meets Sam Bones, a mysterious agent who promises Henry happiness and stardom - if he follows his instructions, engulfing Henry in an increasingly downward spiral of brutality and murder...

Hailed by The LA Times as "an impressively ambitious and potent first feature," Alexander Cassini's STAR TIME is an angst-ridden study of violent psychosis and media obsession, pronounced by surrealist visuals and gory violence. Co-starring John P. Ryan (IT'S ALIVE) and Maureen Teefy (FAME), Vinegar Syndrome presents this unique art-house horror film on Blu-ray, newly restored from its original 35mm camera negative and presented in its never-before-on-home-video original director's cut.

    Star Time

    Radical! I've wanted to see this little-known film for a long time now, and leave it to Vinegar Syndrome to make that possible, and affordable. This is quite the film, it did not disappoint. Well written, artfully composed and shot, and still relevant, regardless of the age of the movie. Dark, intellingent, and on the fringe, just how I like 'em. No longer lost in time, if you love bizzare and absurdly insightful oddities, you should check this out.

    Thank you for keeping it weird, guys!

    This was a blind buy and a nice discovery. A different kind of slasher for sure but enjoyed it. Restoration looked great.

    For the Chris Suiter enthusiasts among us.

    I've been steadily purchasing nearly every VS release since the time that Star Time was released, but it was one of the very, very few I skipped. Nothing I ever saw regarding it ever appealed to me - I didn't like the cover, the design of the packaging gave me cheap alt-arthouse-sci-fi vibes for some reason, and no review or mention online ever piqued my interest.

    Until the New Beverly Cinema recently programmed it, and on their promotional podcast, someone mentioned the thing that finally made me leap to purchase it.

    So I say this in case there's someone else like me out there, who will only be moved by this one thing:

    THE LEAD ACTOR WAS BRENDA'S DRAMA CLASS TEACHER ON BEVERLY HILLS *****.

    That's all you had to say, VS. I would have owned this blu ray like a decade ago if you had just come out and been honest with us.

    And, turns out: it's a fascinating little film on its own merits. Worth a look even if you don't get here via West Beverly High.
