FEBRUARY 8 VHS HISTORY LEASON : VIDMARK ENTERTAINMENT

This distributor, which began releasing genre films for the rental market in 1984, was one of the longest-lasting video companies in the United States. Releasing films such as Lamberto Bava's disasterpiece DEVIL FISH, John Russo's MIDNIGHT, Lucio Fulci's NEW YORK RIPPER and, my personal favorite, BLOOD STALKERS to the rental market, Vidmark would soon come into their own, releasing such bloody fare like DEMONWARP, NIGHTWISH and Peter Jackson's DEAD ALIVE. What made Vidmark stand out amongst the pack was their willingness to release the films in both R-rated and Unrated cuts, giving the viewer the option of picking out their choice of versions (why anyone would want the R-rated cut of any film, when the Unrated cut is available, is still beyond my comprehension as they now flood eBay for unsuspecting bidders to buy). Vidmark distributed very few theatrical releases (relying more on low-budget horror and action titles), but they did release some strange ones on VHS, such as BORN OF FIRE, CRONOS and Peter Greenaway's THE COOK,THE THIEF, HIS WIFE & HER LOVER.  During the 90's Vidmark began releasing a crapload of DTV (CYBORG COP, PROTOTYPE X29A, CLASS OF 1999 II, THE MADDENING) and MFTV films (THE PRESENCE, NIGHTMARE IN BADHAM COUNTY, LAST LIGHT) as well as the LEPRECHAUN and WARLOCK franchises.  Vidmark would cease to distribute films in 1997 as it's parent company, Trimark Pictures (originally a theatrical production arm), would take over distribution of films on VHS, laserdisc and DVD before being devoured by the corporate takeover giant we know (and love?) as Lions Gate Entertainment. { text from  critcononline.com }
