Blu-ray Review – Rabid Grannies

I initially reviewed "Rabid Grannies" in 2015, with Troma Entertainment releasing the 1988 film on Blu-ray, and quality control wasn't prioritized by the company. It was an atrocious Blu-ray offering, with incorrect colors and aspect ratio, and the run time was shaved down to just under 70 minutes. The movie didn't make much sense, and the presentation was even more confusing. Vinegar Syndrome now steps in to fix all things "Rabid Grannies," restoring the work to a 96-minute run time, also completing a fresh scan of the picture, presenting it the way the filmmakers intended. Narrative clarity is certainly new to the viewing experience, but it's difficult to state that the effort is one of quality. Director Emmanuel Kervyn is going after a B-movie mess with the "Evil Dead"-inspired offering, but production sloppiness certainly holds the splatter event back, fighting iffy editing and performances as it tries to make a proper screen mess for superfans of the genre. It's not a particularly strong feature, but at least it's a complete one now. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
