Mind Benders (1987) [Vinegar Syndrome Archive Blu-ray Promo Trailer]

#horror – #Trailers – #horrormovies – #MindBenders – @VinegarSyndrome –

Frankie and Crash run the most popular high school radio show in town, keeping the students buzzing with rock ‘n’ roll music and rebellious influences. But when Principal Borden decides the good times are rolling too freely, he brings in the mysterious Dr. Gunbow to implement a new Behavioral Modification Program. Almost immediately, the school’s radio station is commandeered by agents of the program, and shortly thereafter, the students start displaying increasingly disturbing and zombie-like behavior while developing a newfound taste for violence against anyone who won’t conform. Realizing that whatever is going on is forcibly changing their friends, Frankie and Crash take it upon themselves to find out what Dr. Gunbow is up to and the ultimate goal of his mind-bending conspiracy.

An over-the-top and zany sci-fi comedy oozing with mid-80s aesthetics, actress-turned-director Eugenie Joseph’s (finishing director of Spookies) crackpot Canadian cult classic, MIND BENDERS stars Skip Lackey (Once Bitten), Lee Tergesen (TV’s Oz, Weird Science) in his first on-screen role, along with veteran character actor Roy Thinnes (Airport, Rush Week). Produced by notorious New York exploitation filmmaker Jack Bravman (Snuff), Vinegar Syndrome Archive presents the worldwide Blu-ray debut of MIND BENDERS, newly scanned and restored from its 35mm original camera negative and featuring the first-ever on-camera interview with director Eugenie Joseph!

As gialli waned in popularity throughout the 1980s, directors interested in the genre found new ways to integrate black-clad killers and complicated mysteries into other types of films, be it light science fiction, new-wave aesthetics, high-concept capers, or keen commentary on social unrest. Offered here is a trio of outside-the-box gialli that embrace the genre as much as they defy it.

#horror – #Trailers – #horrormovies – #DialDForDemons – @VinegarSyndrome –

Needing a break from their busy lives, a group of young professionals living in Hong Kong decide to take a few days off and spend some time relaxing on a quiet and secluded island. After arriving at their rental property, one of the friends (who has the ability to see ghosts) begins having terrifying visions of people who have taken their own lives by inhaling burning charcoal. To make matters worse, the group of friends starts to receive cryptic messages on their pagers. Soon, the horror of the property begins to reveal itself and the group has no choice but to try to survive the night before falling victim to the evil that awaits them.

Directed by notorious CAT III director Billy Tang (Dr. Lamb), DIAL D FOR DEMONS sees Tang trade in his usual sex and violence for style and tension, resulting in a more atmosphere-driven ghost story. Starring a cast of young and up-and-coming Hong Kong actors such as Jordan Chan (Bio-Zombie), Terence Yin (New Police Story), and Winnie Leung (The Deadly Camp), Vinegar Syndrome Archive is proud to present this rarely-seen supernatural tale on Blu-ray for the first time in the United States, newly and exclusively restored for this release.

Corpse Mania (1981) [Vinegar Syndrome 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray Promo Trailer]

#horror – #Trailers – #horrormovies – #CorpseMania – @VinegarSyndrome –

After a defiled corpse is discovered in an abandoned building, Inspector Zhang recognizes the scene as being similar to other mutilated bodies that have been turning up in the area. Realizing that there is a deranged serial killer at large, Zhang’s investigation soon leads him to a local brothel run by the headstrong Madame Lan, which appears to be the killer’s hunting ground. While public suspicion soon falls on a recently released-from-prison necrophile, Zhang is unconvinced, believing that the killer and their motive are hiding in plain sight.

Directed by horror maestro Chih-Hung Kwei (Hex, The Boxer’s Omen), CORPSE MANIA masterfully fuses Shaw Brothers’ well-regarded dramatic period pieces with the structure and style of the Italian giallo, offering foggy streets, gelled lighting, and grisly murders perpetrated by a black-clad killer. Moving from twist to twist and sure to leave viewers squirming in horror all the way to the end, Vinegar Syndrome is proud to present this essential Hong Kong horror on UHD, newly restored in 4k from its original camera negative, packed with extras, and featuring all the maggot-covered corpses one could ask for.

The Tenant (1976) [Vinegar Syndrome 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray Promo Trailer]

#horror – #Trailers – #horrormovies – #TheTenant – @VinegarSyndrome –

Trelkovsky, freshly arrived in Paris, is in desperate need of a place to live. After inquiring at a large apartment complex run by the brooding Monsieur Zy, he’s offered the room of Simone Choule, a resident who recently attempted suicide by throwing herself out of the window. Undeterred by this macabre event, Trelkovsky is happy to move in. Shortly thereafter, he meets Stella, Simone’s friend, and does his best to comfort and befriend her. Quickly integrating into Stella’s bohemian social scene, Trelkovsky hopes that his life is finally turning a corner; that is, until his new neighbors begin acting strangely, making wild accusations against him, and displaying increasingly sinister and violent behaviors. As the weeks go on, Trelkovsky begins to suspect that something is very wrong in the stuffy old building and that Simone’s fatal plunge might not have been her own doing…

From maverick director Roman Polanski (Chinatown, Rosemary’s Baby) comes one of the most unusual and unsettling studio thrillers of the 1970s: THE TENANT. Adapted from Roland Topor’s cult novel, Polanski casts himself in the lead, offering a uniquely demented and outrageously funny performance, and is supported by Melvyn Douglas (The Changeling), Shelly Winters (Night of the Hunter, Lolita), and Isabelle Adjani (Possession). Featuring cinematography by two-time Oscar® winner Sven Nykvist (Cries and Whispers) along with an original score by acclaimed composer Philippe Sarde (La Grande Bouffe), Vinegar Syndrome is thrilled to present the 4K UHD debut of THE TENANT, newly and exclusively restored in 4K from its original camera negative and featuring a wide array of new and archival extras including an expanded interview with Polanski himself.
