Fatal Games (Blu-ray)

The young athletes of Falcon Academy are training hard to earn their place in the nationals. But when these burgeoning sports stars start disappearing one after the other, Dr. Jordine and his team - who’ve started plying their athletes with new and untested performance-enhancing drugs - are baffled. Little do they realize that a javelin-wielding, tracksuit-wearing killer with a strong throwing arm and a deadly grudge against athletic excellence is on the prowl, picking off the Olympic hopefuls one by one. Whether they're squeezing out a few extra reps in the gym, training on the field or clocking up some late-night strokes in the pool, nowhere is safe. As their numbers continue to dwindle, can the remaining athletes unmask the maniac before they’re disqualified… for good?!

Directed by Michael Elliot - who does double duty in the role of Dr. Jordine - and starring Academy Award-nominee Sally Kirkland, FATAL GAMES is a deliriously entertaining early ’80s stalk-and-slash effort stacked with gratuitous nudity, physics-defying death sequences and one of the most jaw-dropping twist endings in all of slasher movie history. Completely AWOL on home video since its original VHS release and high up on any slasher enthusiast’s wish list, the horror champions at Vinegar Syndrome have at long last taken up the baton with this world premiere of FATAL GAMES, newly restored in from recently-unearthed film elements and bulked up with a winning array of brand new extras in an edition that really takes it all the way! • Region Free
