£30.46 The brainchild of producer/co-writer Dillis L. Hart II and starring Ron Thomas (The Karate Kid, Cobra Kai), the Wichita-lensed NIGHT SCREAMS from director Allen Plone is a late-entry slasher gem which offers up an embarrassment of inventive kills, incorporating electrified hot tubs, bodies crushed under cars, death by poisonous fumes and faces shoved into hamburger grills alongside more “standard” methods of hacking and slashing. Deemed too short by its distributor, the filmmakers added copious amounts of stock sex and violence pulled from other sources, turning an already oddball effort into a fascinating mutant film. Now, for the first time ever, Vinegar Syndrome is proud to present a reconstruction of the filmmakers’ preferred “Pre-Release” cut (alongside the standard theatrical version), all newly restored in 4K from the original camera negative, along with a brand new, feature-length documentary telling the fascinating and sometimes tumultuous tale behind the making of this regional slasher favorite. directed by: Allen Plone starring: Joseph Paul Manno, Ron Thomas, Randy Lundsford, Megan Wyss, Janette Caldwell 1987 / 85 min / 1.85:1 / English 2.0 Stereo 3-disc Region Free Set: 4K Ultra HD / Blu-ray x2 4K UHD presented in High-Dynamic-Range Newly scanned & restored in 4K from its 35mm original camera negative Includes both its Pre-Release and Standard Theatrical versions Brand new commentary track with director Allen Plone & cinematographer Eric Anderson, moderated by special features producer Ewan Cant “Blood and Chopsticks: Echoes of Night Screams” (80 min) – a brand new making-of documentary featuring interviews with its cast and crew Introduction for the Pre-Release version with executive producer Richard Caliendo and co-writer/producer Dillis L. Hart II Original trailer Reversible sleeve artwork English SDH subtitles.

£30.46 When she was young, Lacey witnessed, by mirror reflection, the brutal murder of her stepfather at the hands of her brother, Willy. Years later, Lacey has settled into a comfortable married life, with a child of her own, while Willy has been rendered mute as a result of his childhood trauma and has taken to removing or blacking out all mirrors in the family home. When the very mirror through which Lacey and Willy viewed the murder is accidentally shattered, a dark and vengeful curse is unleashed on the family, and soon anyone unlucky enough to come into contact with shards of the mirror falls victim to heinous murder... One of the major independent horror blockbusters made in the wake of Halloween, Ulli Lommel's THE BOOGEYMAN (Tenderness of the Wolves) catapulted its director out of the arthouse circuit and solidified him as a master of horror. Starring and co-scripted by Suzanna Love (Olivia) and featuring Nicholas Love (TV's Twin Peaks) alongside B movie icon John Carradine (The Astro Zombies) in a supporting role, the film's grisly murders, designed by effects artist Craig Harris (Toxic Zombies), landed it on the notorious list of Video Nasties and gave it an even larger cult fanbase. Vinegar Syndrome at last presents this seminal stab at early 80s horror on 4K UHD, newly and exclusively restored from its original 35mm camera negative and including a host of interviews with cast and crew. FEATURES: 2-disc Region Free Set: 4K Ultra HD / Blu-ray 4K UHD presented in High-Dynamic-Range Newly scanned & restored in 4K from its 35mm original camera negative Brand new commentary track with editor Terrell Tannen • Brand new commentary track with historian and author Kat Ellinger "Scenes from a Marriage" (39 min) - brand new interview with actress Suzanna Love "Boogey Man, and So On" (34 min) - brand new interview with cinematographer David Sperling "Pick-Up Girl" (8 min) - brand new interview with actress Catherine Tambini "Cuts from the Mirror" (20 min) - brand new interview with editor Terrell Tannen "Boogey Man as Art" (15 min) - brand new interview with camera operator Jürg V.

'Gorgo' (1961) - 4K UHD / Blu-Ray combo available from Vinegar Syndrome direct - £29.34 Available: Now "When an underwater volcanic eruption tears up the sea bed off the coast of Ireland, two treasure hunters make the discovery of a lifetime when they encounter a gigantic prehistoric monster that’s been unleashed from the earth’s crust. After capturing the beast, the pair transport the creature down to London where it’s given the name of “Gorgo” and put on display to an avid public. Little do they realize that Gorgo is just an infant, and that his exponentially larger mother is about to emerge from the depths to avenge the capture of her offspring. As Gorgo’s mother begins her advance on the British capital, not even the considerable might of Her Majesty’s Armed Forces can stop her colossal devastation! An international co-production between the United Kingdom, United States, and Ireland, visual effects pioneer Eugène Lourié’s (The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, The Giant Behemoth) GORGO - often referred to as the “British Godzilla” - was one of the first, and arguably one of the best, giant monster films to follow in the wake of Japan’s sci-fi landmark. Between its astonishing, special effects-laden climax, which sees Gorgo’s mother wreak fiery destruction on the streets of Central London, and its unique and unusual ending, GORGO quickly solidified its place in the sci-fi canon, spawning numerous comic book adaptations and spin-offs which further expanded the “Gorgoverse”. Now, newly restored in 4K from its untouched-for-decades original camera negative by the monster maniacs at Vinegar Syndrome, GORGO bursts up from the depths in its worldwide UHD debut, loaded with a fittingly gargantuan array of extras, both old and new."

'Guest House Paradiso' (1999) - Blu-Ray available from Vinegar Syndrome direct - £19.82 Release date: August "Richie Twat and Eddie Elizabeth Ndingombaba proudly run the worst hotel in the world. With bills piling up and a myriad of issues coming to a head, it's up to them to provide the perfect Guest House Paradiso experience to the Nice family during their stay... if only they stayed somewhere else. A weekend of nightmarish situations involving exotic lingerie, Italian movie stars, getting trapped in an oven, and more vomit than you can imagine await anyone foolish enough to stay at the Guest House Paradiso. The final collaboration between Adrian Edmondson and the late Rik Mayal (Drop Dead Fred, TV's The Young Ones), co-founders of the anarchic ‘80s UK comedy troupe The Comic Strip, director Edmondson’s GUEST HOUSE PARADISO is bizarre, uncomfortable, non-stop hilarious, culminating in the greatest (and most voluminous) vomit gag in cinema history. Reprising their characters from the famed British sitcom Bottom Mayal and Edmondson are joined on-screen by Bill Nighy (Love Actually), Vincent Cassel (Black Swan, Irreversible), Kate Ashfield (Shaun of the Dead) and Simon Pegg (Hot Fuzz, Star Trek) in one of his first movie roles, Vinegar Syndrome Labs offers the definitive home video release this unsung classic of British comedy, newly restored in 4K from its 35mm interpositive."

'The Cardona Collection, Vol. 2' (1987) - Blu-Ray available from Vinegar Syndrome direct - £27.76 Release date: August "René Cardona Jr. was the king of Mexican exploitation cinema throughout the 70s and 80s, directing dozens of films in a variety of genres and taking creative inspiration from the most popular trends in American and Italian genre cinema. Vinegar Syndrome presents The Cardona Collection: Volume 2, containing three of his violent, horror tinged adventure and disaster movies, all newly restored from their original negatives." Beaks: The Movie (1987 / 100 min / 1.85:1 / English Stereo): "When TV reporter Vanessa is given an assignment to cover some local bird attacks, she sees it as a lowly assignment from her sleazy producer. But as the number of deadly incidents grow and Vanessa's investigation deepens, she discovers something much more sinister waiting in the wings. Soon humanity is under violent siege from all forms of avian predator and nowhere is safe to hide from these fearsome fowl, who hope to pec and gouge their way to world domination! A globe-trotting and action packed classic from the animal attack genre, Rene Cardona Jr’s BEAKS (aka Birds of Prey) pays playful homage to Hitchcock while infusing this story with way non stop carnage and death defying stunts as only he can. Starring Michelle Johnson (Tales From the Crypt), Christopher Atkins (The Blue Lagoon) and Sofia Infante (Los placeres ocultos), Vinegar Syndrome is proud to present the world Blu-ray debut of BEAKS, presented in its uncut international version and newly restored in 2K!" Under Siege (1980 / 94 min / 1.85:1 / Spanish Mono): "When an organized crime group pulls the heist of their criminal careers things quickly spiral out of control into a nightmare of violence. After robbing several casinos in a synchronized attack, the group splinters in order to escape, only to be dogged by police task forces and relentless detectives at every turn. When one faction ultimately takes refuge in the home of an upscale family, it's up to the father to save his family as the criminals fall, one by one, and desperation sinks in. A stellar example of Cardona Jr.'s prowess as a director, this film grabs you from its opening moments and the tension never lets up. Pulling from an all-star ensemble featuring Stuart Whitman (The Longest Day), Francisco Rabal (Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!), Hugo Stiglitz (Nightmare City), Antonella Interlenghi (City of the Living Dead) and Marisa Mell (Danger: Diabolik) Under Siege (aka Hostages), is a non-stop thrill ride, newly restored from the 35mm camera negative of its original Spanish language version." La casa que arde de noche (1986 / 103 min / 1.85:1 / Spanish Mono): "Eleazar is a smooth talking strong man who works at a notoriously sleazy brothel. His charming ways have put him in the good graces of the house's madame. That is until Lalasana, a seductive new prostitute, enters the brothel and does everything in her power to get to the top. While Eleazar and Lalasana vie for the favor of the house madame they will do anything to stop the other, but when their feud turns into a sexual fire, the intensity and heat threaten to turn all they've worked for into a pile of ash. A mid-80s entry into the psycho-sexual thriller genre, this film is a twisting and turning tale with all the sex and sleaze you can handle. Starring frequent Cardona collaborators Sofia Infante (Treasure of the Amazon) and Salvador Pineda (Beaks: The Movie), La casa que arde de noche (aka The House That Burns at Night) is a welcome addition to U.S. home video, restored from its 35mm original camera negative" S.O.S. Conspiración Bikini (1967 / 89 min / 1.85:1 / Spanish Mono): "Alex Dinamo is the top agent at The International Service and is always busy either taking down criminals or making ladies swoon. But now, the criminal enterprise, Secret Organizational Service (S.O.S.) is about to complete its long-in-the-works plot to destabilize the world with illegal arms deals. Using an international fashion show as their front, they're getting together for one last meeting before enacting their master plan. Will Agent Dinamo be able to pry away from all the scantily clad models long enough to foil S.O.S.'s plans or will they succeed?! In this lighter action comedy, Cardona Jr. sets his sights on sending up the spy film genre. Filled with action set pieces and chase sequences, Cardona is in familiar territory while keeping the mood and pace free and fun. Starring Julio Alemán (El Tunco Malclovio), Sonia Infante (Beaks: The Movie), Sonia Furió (Aventura) and Noé Muayama (Infernal Rapist) and in a new restoration from its 35mm internegative, Vinegar Syndrome is proud to present S.O.S. Conspiración Bikini." Special features and specs:
