I've had friends complain about the quality of the transfer
(graininess of a dub of a dub of a dub, but they generally
warn if this is the case on a particular title and offer
upgrades if they find a better source to copy) of some videos
bought from www.vsom.com, but I've been extremely happy with
everything I've bought from them. Their specialty is clearly
exploitation films (both sex and violence) from around the
world, but mixed within their catalog are a fair number of
crime movies. The deal is they act as a club (you pay a one
time membership fee of $5), copying films from their
"library" for a fee of $25 ($20, if 5 or more are bought).
For this reason, they are only allowed to distribute films
which are not currently in print in the US. Of course, this
includes a fair amount of film noir, among other things --
for instance, the uncut Kiss Me Deadly had been available
from them for years, right up until it was finally released
here legitimately.
