Vestron enjoyed its biggest success with Dirty Dancing -- a family drama, with music and dancing, featuring and a romance with a handsome boyfriend -- which appealed mainly to young women.
Instead of making more movies like that, however, Vestron squandered its Dirty Dancing earnings by making horror movies and action movies that appealed mainly to boys and young men.
Here are the final movies that Vestron co-produced before it ran completely out of money.
-------
Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat -- October 23, 1991
Reclusive vampires lounge in a lonely American town. They wear sun cream to protect themselves. A descendant of Van Helsing arrives with hilarious consequences.
The movie cost $3 million dollars to make. The movie did not play in theaters; it went directly to video.

Enid Is Sleeping (later renamed Over Her Dead Body) -- January 29, 1992
Enid's husband and younger sister are having an affair. When Enid walks in on them, a fight develops and Enid is hit over the head with a heavy object. One disaster after another ensues, as they attempt to make Enid's death look like an accident.
I did not find cost or earnings information.

Spies, Inc. (later renamed Code Name: Chaos) -- July 29, 1992
Spies from different nationalities stationed in a small Asian island work out a plot to create an international incident taking profit from it. Defrauding CIA through fake reports and running a front company using operating funds, they control the island.
I did not find cost or earnings information. The movie went straight to video.

This series concludes in Part 9.
