New York City factory worker Eddie Marino (Robert Forster, Oscar nominee for JACKIE BROWN) is a solid citizen and regular guy, until the day a sadistic street gang brutally assaults his wife and murders his child. But when a corrupt judge sets the thugs free, Eddie goes berserk and vows revenge. Now there's a new breed of marauder loose on the city streets, enforcing his own kind of law. His justice is swift. His methods are violent. He is the VIGILANTE.

Fred Williamson (FROM DUSK TILL DAWN), Richard Bright (THE GODFATHER), Rutanya Alda (AMITYVILLE II: THE POSSESSION), Carol Lynley (THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE), Woody Strode (SPARTACUS), Joe Spinell (MANIAC) and Salsa legend Willie Colon co-star in this hard-hitting exploitation classic from director William Lustig (MANIAC COP 2) that many critics consider to be better - and more shocking - than the original DEATH WISH. Now Blue Underground is thrilled to present VIGILANTE in a pristine new 4K Restoration and fully loaded with Extras!

'All of Blue Underground's UHD releases are must-owns for genre fans, and VIGILANTE is no exception, breathing new life into the film for a further appreciation of it. This release bests all previous home video editions with a stellar A/V presentation and a satisfying extras package. Highly recommended!'

     —The Digital Bits

Nevertheless, the film was picked up by Vestron for VHS and over time has become something of a cult item, achieving the same status as the Charles Bronson classic, Death Wish.
