“A fascinating insight at the people and companies who preserve and restore exploitation and genre film that would otherwise be long gone and forgotten with Vinegar Syndrome being at the epicentre.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIu0026#39;ve long been a fan of home video label Something Weird and other newer labels such as Blue Underground, Severin Films, Kino Lorber, Grindhouse Releasing and Distribpix but hadnu0026#39;t realised until watching this feature length documentary that all these factions share the common thread of rescuing film elements to share with the film viewing community for years to come.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere is so much to learn through these films from an anthropological perspective and as well as being entertaining and titillating itu0026#39;s important that we support these boutique labels in continuing the arduous task of compiling and protecting these vintage works of art.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI really admire the passion, enthusiasm and dedication that each of the people working for these labels has in bringing these films back from obscurity.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s easy in viewing Against The Grain to share in their excitement.”
