Code Red DVD recently come out...
... and astonishingly, it's kept the R rating. I saw this many years ago and completely forgot all about it until I picked up Robin Bougie's Cinema Sewer - Volume 3 and read an article he wrote about this one in which he makes the - in my opinion - slightly hyperbolic statement:
It nearly approaches the shock level of such infamous Grindhouse classics as Cannibal Holocaust and Cannibal Ferox, and even - dare I say it - Last House On Dead End Street.Maybe he's right, but I don't remember it having that impact on me, though one statement the Boug makes that I agree with is how this has been released with its original R rating and even Boug writes that it wouldn't have a "snowball's chance of hell of doing that in today's lame market". Well well, it seems it has.
Definitely going to pick up this one to see if it's a unrelentingly grim and gory as I remember.
The DVD also comes with a bonus feature the Fred Williamson penned Joshua
