The more rabid and attentive Tapeheads should already be familiar with the Australia-based outfit EX-FILM, who have firmly established themselves as the premiere entity from down under currently issuing limited edition batches of fresh PAL VHS. Their newly produced analog versions of titles like ACT OF VENGENACE aka RAPE SQUAD, Mike Malloy’s documentary EUROCRIME (a co-release with Celluloid Apocalypse, which is now sold out) and the absolutely incredible and lip-lickingly lush limited edition for Lunchmeat favorite I DRINK YOUR BLOOD, are all spectacular VHSights to behold.

Now locomotive-driven metaphors aside, Malcom is the creation of nascent indie outfit Nail Dit Productions, who has teamed up with the fellow Tapeheads at Retro Release Video to bring their slice of low-budget cinema to freshly produced slabs of glorious analog.   The limited edition VHS of Malcom is ready to roll as we VHSpeak and available HERE, but if you’re looking to get a bit...
