Combat Shock (American Nightmares) (Blu-ray)

A troubled, drug-addicted Vietnam vet, haunted by flashbacks of the war, is driven to the breaking point on the crime-filled streets of New York. Ricky Giovinazzo stars in filmmaker brother Buddy's violent and sordid tale of urban alienation and a man on the edge of sanity. Two-disc set includes both "American Nightmares" (the original director's cut) and the edited version retitled "Combat Shock." 100 min./92 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital stereo.
