JANUARY 31 VHS HISTORY LEASON : VIDEO  GEMS

This is the champion of the 70's exploitation film on VHS. Video Gems released most of their tapes in big boxes or huge clamshells (with non-removable artwork printed directly on the plastic case). Their roster of 70's films spanned many genres, from Horror (THE SEVERED ARM [still the only uncut version available in the market], LOVE ME DEADLY [which everyone should see at least once]), Thrillers (THE NEXT VICTIM, Duke Mitchell's THE EXECUTIONER), Martial Arts (THE JAPANESE CONNECTION, JAWS OF THE DRAGON), Westerns (RED SUN, CAIN'S CUTTHROATS), Comedy (SEX WITH A SMILE, BOOB TUBE) and Drama (THE BITCH, BLACK STARLET). Video Gems always seemed to have the films nobody else was able to get, including such titles as Charles Nizet's (HELP ME I'M) POSSESSED, the weird and wonderful MESSIAH OF EVIL, the just plain awful but entertaining OCTAMAN, Paul Leder's I DISMEMBER MAMA and Joe D'Amato's BLACK COBRA. They also released a bunch of Spaghetti Westerns on tape, many for the first time, with titles such as HAVE A GOOD FUNERAL MY FRIEND, MASSACRE AT FORT HOLMAN and A TOWN CALLED HELL. Video Gems also release some rare 60's horror films, including THE CRAWLING HAND, THE SLIME PEOPLE and THE HUMAN VAPOR.  Video Gems was a favorite of mine during the 80's, due to their varied choice of product and their classy, off-kilter packaging. Many Video Gems releases are considered collectable today. There's a reason for that. They geniunely cared about what they released. { text from  critcononline.com }
