About us

“How a Movie Fan Turned a Love for Movies into a ‘Reel’ Business”

There are probably many who still wonder, “Who is VCI?” and sometimes I wonder the same thing. Fortunately for you, I might be able to shed a little light on that subject, because I’ve been here since the inception of the company.

Once upon a time… or so the story goes… there was a young man who loved movies. His name was Bill Blair. Bill grew up in a small Oklahoma farming and ranching town; far, far away from the Hollywood glitz and glamour. He loved movies so much, he saved his money until one day he was able to buy a film projector. On many warm summer nights, he would set that ‘magic lantern’ up in an open tent and project movies on a big white bed-sheet to anyone who could afford his 2 bits admission charge; however, more often than not, he let people in for free.

Some years later Bill got married and moved to the big city of Tulsa and started a family. (That was when I and the other little Blairs came in the picture, but more about that later.) His love of movies continued and he began collecting old prints of some of his favorite films as a hobby. Before too long he had accumulated a sizable film collection. You know how one thing can lead to another, and that’s exactly what happened here. He started a movie rental business out of the house. That part-time business grew so quickly that it soon became a ‘reel’ business, and United Films was born.

Sometime around 1975 the Betamax Video Cassette Recorder was introduced, launching the world of “home video entertainment”. Bill Blair had already been experimenting with broadcast and commercial video long before the Sony Betamax arrived on the scene, and he immediately fell in love with this new “home video” medium, realizing the significance it would play in the distribution of movies.

He felt this was such an important development that he created a separate company, Video Communications, Inc. (VCI) in 1976 to produce and distribute movies and special programming on video tape.

Did I mention that Bill Blair loved movies… all kinds of movies? He was particularly fond of ‘classic’ movies; you know the type, the kind Hollywood doesn’t make anymore. I believe that VCI was created (as was United Films) in part, because the business gave him a legitimate excuse to expand his movie collection; he was a movie buff/collector first and businessman second. Well he passed the movie/buff gene on to the whole Blair family, who in their own right, are all true movie mongrels too. Now with his three sons and only daughter at the helm, along with the many employees who are “like” family and even some of his children’s children now working at VCI, it is truly a ‘family affair’.

Bill Blair sadly passed away in 2006, but his memory and his love of movies live on at VCI. We wholeheartedly continue the tradition he began almost 50 years ago: of finding, preserving and distributing classic (and sometimes eclectic) movies, spanning decades of film production and many popular genres, of the highest-quality reproductions we can procure.

President, VCI Entertainment

Product Description

"Ruby" is a horror film with the emphasis on atmosphere and suspense, but it also contains enough creepy special effects and blood and gore to satisfy the most demanding genre fans. Most of it takes place at night, with all kinds of marvelous influences lurking in the shadows. Directed by cult-film director Curtis Harrington (Night Tide, Queen of Blood, Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet, Games, What's the Matter with Helen? Whoever Slew Auntie Roo? The Killing Kind) and featuring an impressive cast including Piper Laurie, fresh from her starring role in Carrie, 1976, as Ruby, and Stuart Whitman (Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines, 1965). The movie begins in 1935, Ruby Clair, beautiful hostess of a Florida gambling house, watches in horror as her gangster boyfriend is gunned down, his bullet-riddled body sinking slowly into a dark, foggy bayou. That same night Ruby's baby is born. Fast forward to 1951. Ruby now owns a drive-in movie operated by a crew of ex-convicts she has befriended. Her beautiful daughter has never uttered a sound since she was born. One by one her theater employees are savagely murdered. Could it be the work of a rival criminal settling an old score? Or could it be an evil wreaking vengeance from beyond the grave? A psychologist from the state prison tries to find out - and what he discovers is not for the squeamish. This special BD/DVD combo is the definitive original theatrical version of Ruby, with a 2K restoration, 2 commentary tracks and over 2 hours of video interviews and special features!

5.0 out of 5 stars Once again the veterans save the day
Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2019

What could've been a run of the mill supernatural rip-off of multitudes of movies during this era, has been saved from veteran actors needing a paycheck. Stuart Whitman is just great in all his stoicism. Oh my dear Piper Laurie, what a great actress, she could hypnotize me acting out a scene of her watching paint dry. A hammy piece of sleaze is sometimes all we're asking for...I'll always think twice whenever I get a soda out of the truck stop machines!

A great horror film from 1977. After a great performance in her role in Carrie, Piper Laurie excels in her role as the mother of a possessed deaf daughter. I feel sorry for Piper Laurie. Having one daughter with tele kinetic powers and one possessed must have a strain on one. No wonder she seemed happy to die in both films!!.

1.0 out of 5 stars "Ruby" Is No Gem
Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2019
Verified Purchase
A cheap, derivative, poorly written, poorly directed little horror film. The only thing it succeeds at is totally wasting two Academy Award nominees - Piper Laurie and Stuart Whitman, as well as a very good turn by Roger Davis. Though this is set in 1951, the majority of the generally terrible supporting cast's clothes and especially hair is either late 50's/early 60's or just straight out 1977. The major compounding of stupidity is that film's "drive-in" is showing "Attack Of The 50 Foot Woman" which was released in 1959. Sadly, not enjoyably bad.......just stupidly bad.

3.0 out of 5 stars 70s Drive-in Nostalgia But With Audio Issues!
Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2021
Verified Purchase
Classic drive-in movie from the 70s. Low budget, but atmospheric and fun. Problem is the audio in the streaming version is terrible. It is out of sync throughout most the movie and in several spots it becomes distorted or muffled. I tried pausing, rewinding, fast-forwarding, even uninstalling and reinstalling the app with no success. All other videos are fine so it must be an issue with just this movie.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great 70's horror film
Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2017
Verified Purchase
One of the better supernatural horror films to come out of the '70s, thanks to finely tuned direction by the late Curtis Harrington and some great sequences that takes place at a drive-in. Why this film doesn't get the love it deserves is totally beyond me. If you have never seen it, I advise you buy the DVD. It looks flawless, the best it has looked on DVD in any version released for the home video market.

Look, this is a low budget, low level horror film. Nothing more. Yes, Piper Laurie and Stuart Whitman are good actors but even they must have known that this movie was never going to win any awards!
The direction is horrible and the poor editor didn't have anything to work with. Lastly, the ending was reshot by a different director or producer and it is BAD.
Please, don't waste your time on this.
