Quetions about Kodak Vericolor HC

I found an old roll (no expiration date, but it must be from around the 90s, when I was born) of Vericolor HC 120mm film in my fridge. I'm assuming it's 100 ISO but I can't find much info about this film online. I'm planning on trying to use it this week at 50iso (maybe?).

My questions are:

1. Is this a slide or negative film? I'll be happy to shoot it either way, just matters to me where I take it to be developed.

2. Seeing as this film is most likely expired by around 20+- years what would your suggestions be for exposure comp.
Should I shoot at lower iso and develop as normal?
Or shoot box and have my lab push it?


Thanks, my dudes.

Vericolor HC is an ISO 100, process C-41 (color negative) film. Based on your description of it, I would shoot it at ISO 20 to ISO 25 and have the lab develop it normally.

In its day, Vericolour HC was an ISO 100 higher contrast version of Vericolour. Some extra exposure might help, but no guarantees.

You always can shoot the last frame cut it and develop it to get the feeling about the roll. It's a hustle, yes.
I'm going to make a video about that. I've shot 3 rolls of expired c-41 (not so much but still) and I'd agree that it's better to overexpose two stops.
