    Released by: Severin Fims
    Released on: July, 2017.
    Director: Buddy Giovinazzo
    Cast: Rick Giovinazzo, Veronica Stork, Mitch Maglio, Michael Tierno
    Year: 1986

    The Movie:

    Shot on location in Staten Island for next to nothing, Buddy Giovinazzo’s Combat Shock (presented on this Blu-ray in its director’s cut under its original American Nightmares title) was picked up by Troma and marketed as an action/war picture – which it really isn’t. It’s much more of a dark, urban thriller. Regardless of how you want to classify it, the film is a serious cinematic punch to the gut and one of the most depressing pictures you’ll ever see. It’s also incredibly well made and a testament to Giovinazzo’s skills as a director and to the talent of his cast and crew.

    When the film begins, we see a soldier named Frankie (Rick Giovinazzo) in the midst of a firefight in the Vietnam War where he guns down a group of Vietcong. Cut to the present, or at least the early eighties, and Frankie and his wife (Veronica Stork) aren’t doing so well. He’s been out of work a long time and their baby, born a mutant thanks to his father’s exposure to unknown chemicals during his tour of duty, needs to eat. She pressures him to call his dad and ask him to help     ...
