About This Movie

VIPCO: The Untold Story is this fascinating dive into the quirky and often misunderstood world of UK home video distribution in the 80s. Jason Impey does a solid job capturing the essence of the now-defunct label, with Michael Lee finally stepping in front of the camera to share his side of the story. You get a real sense of the unpredictability of the era—the bizarre horror titles, the controversies, and the sheer love for niche cinema. The pacing is relaxed, almost akin to a fireside chat, allowing fans to soak in the oddities of VIPCO's catalog. The atmosphere is nostalgic but grounded, and the practical effects of the films discussed give it a tactile quality that just adds to the whole experience.

Interesting insights from Michael Lee.Focus on the bizarre titles from the 80s.Good mix of nostalgia and critical commentary.
