Eurocrime Rarities: Volume 1 [Blu-ray]

This special limited edition 3-disc Blu-ray set comes housed in a spot gloss hard slipcase + slipcover combo (designed by Tony Stella), includes a 40-page perfect bound book, and is limited to 4,000 units.

Eurocrime Rarities: Volume 1 Blu-ray marks another deep dive into overlooked genre cinema through Vinegar Syndrome Labs, spotlighting three late-cycle poliziottesco entries packed with action, grit and unmistakable Italian crime energy. Blending hard-boiled police drama, exploitation thrills and pulpy storytelling, this collection captures the genre as it evolved beyond its peak years while still retaining its signature intensity.

From undercover agents and streetwise crooks to battle-worn commissioners facing enemies on all sides, Eurocrime Rarities: Volume 1 Blu-ray delivers a trio of rare and distinctive crime films anchored by iconic performers of the era.
