"I love that Something Weird is partnering with AGFA (along with Distribpix & KL) for some outstanding releases. The booklet contains some always-welcome words from Lisa Petrucci along with an excellent essay by Gentry Austin. My only gripe is that my copy of the slipcase is badly misprinted: the spot UV gloss is laughably mis-registered by almost a full 3/4 inch. I know this stuff happens, but to pass this on to the consumer is an interesting call to say the least."
"A blind buy for me, I very much enjoyed both films featured here. Great performance from Last House On The Left’s Sandra Peabody in ‘Voices of Desire’. Informative and interesting booklet and great slipcover."
"It's great to finally get Chuck Vincent's debut picture on Blu Ray. Really trippy in that great 60s way and we get pre Last House On The Lefts's Sandra Peaboy acting her ass off in the lead role. A great commentary by Casey Scott and the other flick Fly Now, Pay Later is pretty fun too. Great purchase. AGFA never disappoints."
"Soft porn mixed in with some short 'story' sections which are almost as dull as the adult ones. As a curiosity it's interesting to look at (briefly) and it has some nice shots, but for the most part this is only going to appeal to a very niche audience. As per usual I have say I appreciate AGFA and VS restoring stuff like this, as it'd be otherwise forgotten. . . but it's just not my sort of film!"
"Voices of Desire has that soft, moody early-80s adult melodrama feel, where the atmosphere and strange emotional tension almost matter more than the plot itself. It is sleazy, talky, and very much of its era, but there is a weird sincerity underneath that makes it more interesting than just another throwaway skin flick."
"Both films are decent, with Voices standing out as my favorite. Each have a sluggish pace that drags at times. The restoration looks good, giving the films the atmosphere of rediscovered, long-lost works."
"An awesome double feature from AGFA, highly recommended! Great slip as well."
"Not one of my favourite releases from Agfa. It stars Sandra Peabody from Last House on the Left so I curious to see what this one was like, unfortunately it felt a little dull. The performances were fine and it’s a nice looking release with a gorgeous slip and some nice features but this was a miss for me."
"Really cool, trippy treat for fans of LHOTL! The print damage is extreme, but just suits the overall grindhouse sludge of it all."
"I have all of the SWV special edition DVDs so most of the new blu-ray releases of their catalog are upgrades but films I knew already. A pleasant surprise to have some deep cut releases here. I don't think either of these films were released beyond DVD-R. I hope we get more of this type, though to be honest I'm thrilled for any and all Something Weird that comes out. Voices of Desire has some interesting people both behind and in front of the camera. Worthwhile for that alone but also a pretty decent film. There are some really stunning shots of her walking through city streets from low angle that are as good as any big budget film I've ever seen. The second is a well shot T&A flick with an attractive cast. A hint of a plot involves missing flight attendants with determined detective on their tail. Some short films for extras as well as commentary on Voices from always knowledgeable Casey Scott. The first short has a Doris Wishman-y feel. Everything's a lot of fun. Highly recommended. Keep the Something Weird coming."
