Forgotten Gialli: Volume #2 Available August 31

August 16, 2021August 16, 2021 4 Evil Eyes

With the giallo at its peak in the early 70s, it seemed that every filmmaker working in Italy was vying to make one and put their unique creative stamp on this highly popular genre. Presented here are a trio of early 70s gialli, all directed by filmmakers who had never made one before (or after) and all presenting wildly different approaches to the genre’s most prevalent trappings.

The Girl In Room 2A: After being released from prison, Margaret (Daniela Giordano) goes to stay at a halfway house for female ex-cons, run by the kindly Mrs. Grant. It’s not long before she begins experiencing strange happenings in the old house, and things take an even more unsettling turn when she befriends Charlie, who is searching for his sister, who disappeared after staying in the house.

A bizarre giallo directed by American exploitation filmmaker, William L. Rose & produced by globe trotting sleaze impresario, Dick Randall, The Girl In Room 2A (‘House of Fear’ in Italian) plays like an American roughie that’s been dressed as a murder mystery. Vinegar Syndrome is pleased to present this in a brand new 2K restoration of its original 35mm camera negative & in its longest and most complete version ever presented on disc!

The French Sex Murders: Following the brutal death of a prostitute at a Parisian brothel, grizzled Inspector Fontaine (Robert Sacchi) is brought in to investigate. After implicating Antoine (Peter Martell), a petty thief & regular client of the murdered woman, Fontaine believes the case to be closed. However, after Antoine makes a daring attempt to escape, getting decapitated in the process, those affiliated with implicating him begin to meet their own violent ends. Has Antoine’s vengeful spirit returned to kill those he believes responsible for his own gruesome fate, or has another, more sinister character been behind these diabolical murders from the very beginning?

A sublimely trashy giallo produced by Dick Randall and helmed by assistant director, Ferdinando Merighi, The French Sex Murders straddles the line between a clever murder mystery and a distinctly 70s sleaze-fest. Vinegar Syndrome is proud to present the world Blu-ray debut of this cult favorite, newly restored from its original 35mm camera negative!

My Dear Killer: After a man is decapitated at a construction site, Inspector Luca Peretti (George Hilton) is assigned to the case. But what initially seems to be an isolated killing soon paves the way for an ever growing number of vicious murders. As Peretti tries to unmask the killer, he discovers that all of the victims were connected to another shocking & unsolved crime – the horrific murder of a young girl.

Directed by Tonino Valerii, My Dear Killer was his sole foray into the giallo genre. The result is a handsomely produced and unrelenting mystery-thriller that revels in clever twists and brutally depicted murders. Vinegar Syndrome is proud to present this sleeper masterpiece of prime era giallo cinema on Blu-ray, from a stunning new 4K restoration of its 35mm original negative.

STARRING: George Hilton, Patty Shepard, Anita Ekberg, Daniela Giordano, Rosalba Neri

Influenced by Dario Argento’s horror classic Suspiria, director Norman J Warren and screenwriter David McGillivray – reteaming two years after the success of Satan’s Slave – created an offbeat blend of satire and the supernatural, sending up the British exploitation film industry while delivering ever more outlandish set-pieces.

Candace Glendenning (Tower of Evil) plays a young woman who witnesses the death of her parents en route to visiting her uncle (played by Gough) and cousin (Martin Potter, Goodbye Gemini).

IN THIS SLEEPY TOWN, THERE IS NO REST FOR THE LIVING … OR THE DEAD.

The terrifying tale of Salem’s Lot continues in the shocking and satirical A Return To Salem’s Lot! Beneath the quaint, picture-perfect exterior of a small New England community lurks an unsettling, undead evil: vampires. When fresh blood comes to town in the form of amoral anthropologist Joe Weber and his son Jeremy, the vampires employ the father to document their story. But when the stakes are raised, Joe must take on the hellish horde or lose his son … and his soul.

Directed and co-written by genre legend Larry Cohen (the It’s Alive trilogy, Black Caesar, God Told Me To) and featuring Michael Moriarty (the star of Cohen’s Q: The Winged Serpent), A Return To Salem’s Lot is a ghoulishly clever follow-up to the hit miniseries based on master of horror Stephen King’s acclaimed novel.

No One Heard The Scream (1973) Available August 24

August 16, 2021August 16, 2021 4 Evil Eyes

One year after his international breakthrough with Cannibal Man, defiant Basque filmmaker Eloy de la Iglesia co-wrote and directed this twisted thriller – his last under Spain’s repressive Franco regime – that instantly made him ”the father of Spanish giallo” (Spanish Fear): When a woman spies her neighbor disposing of his wife’s corpse, she will cross the line from witness to accomplice to something far more depraved. Vicente Parra (Cannibal Man), Carmen Sevilla (The Glass Ceiling), María Asquerino (That Obscure Object Of Desire) and Antonio Casas (The Good, The Bad And The Ugly) star in ”a must for all European film fans, with a final twist that will resonate with you for a very long time” (The Gore Splattered Corner), now featuring an HD scan from the original negative.

STARRING: Carmen Sevilla, Vicente Parra

Inseminoid (1981) (Import) Available August 27

August 16, 2021August 16, 2021 4 Evil Eyes

Once listed as a ‘video nasty’, this science-fiction horror concerns a small crew of scientists who are terrorised by a creature on a distant planet. Comparisons with Ridley Scott’s Alien have been ever-present, though Inseminoid has a charm all of it’s own – it may not have the gloss or the budget, but it’s certainly a great deal of fun.

STARRING: Judy Geeson, Jennifer Ashley, Stephanie Beacham, Robin Clarke, Steven Grives

Emma Cohen (Cut-Throats Nine) and Eusebio Poncela (Law Of Desire) co-star in this ‘unforgettable mix of Euro arthouse and exploitive sleaze’ (DVD Drive-In) – also known as The Apartment On The 13th Floor and Week Of The Killer – now featuring both the International and extended Spanish Version newly scanned from the original negatives for the first time ever.

STARRING: Vicente Parra, Emma Cohen
