Cuddly Toys (BLU-RAY)

Professor Kansas Bowling invites you to come with her and explore all of the serious, everyday problems facing teenage girls; that is, abuse, rape, molestation, and murder. Leaving no stone unturned, she introduces a series of interwoven case studies illustrating how otherwise innocent young ladies are corrupted and led astray into the treacherous and violent world of lecherous older men, crazed teenage psychopaths, deviants, perverts, and maybe one or two seemingly “nice” guys…or are they? Is any teenage girl safe from such diabolical temptation? A grimy, modern-day twist on “Schoolgirl Report” films by way of Faces of Death, CUDDLY TOYS was a years in the making passion project from underground auteur Kansas Bowling (B.C. Butcher), which features an electrifying soundtrack including hits by The Monkees and Scott Walker. Photographed entirely on Super 16mm film and featuring a cast of nearly 100 deranged, damaged, and distraught young women, along with the demented men who prey on them, Vinegar Syndrome Pictures proudly presents the Blu-ray debut of this highly controversial and truly unsettling soon-to-be cult film sensation, which harkens back to the weirdest and most unpredictable exploitation efforts of decades past, and featuring an abundance of extras including a revealing director’s commentary.
