Red Spirit Lake / We Await Available March 29

4 Evil Eyes

One of the most visionary artists to arise from the pre-digital, shot on video underground, director Charles Pinion’s awe-inspiring features fearlessly blurred the lines between punk rock, Cinema of Transgression, avant-garde surrealism, pornography, and backyard splatter films. Saturn’s Core is proud to present two of Pinion’s most daring works with newly reconstructed, director approved restorations from the original analog master tapes.

Red Spirit Lake (1993): After a vengeful sorceress is tortured and killed by a corrupt industrialist looking to harnass the spectral powers of Red Spirit Lake, her niece arrives in snow covered Angel Falls to settle her aunt’s estate. A meditation on The Old Dark House replete with UFO abductions, castration, frank nudity, witchcraft, fatal fistings, and slughterous saunas; Red Spirit Lake is a cacophony of subversive hyper violence, psychotic surrealism, salacious sexual choas, and picturesque winter vistas featuring acting performances by a cavalcade of legendary Cinema of Transgression era artists and filmmakers including Richard Kern, Holly Adams, Kembra Pfahler, Tessa Hughes-Freeland, and Tommy Turner as well as an insurgent soundtrack featuring music by Cop Shoot Cop, Lydia Lunch, Clint Ruin, and The Lunachicks.

We Await (1996): A con artist is held captive by an unhinged cannibal family that ingests copious quantities of hallucinogenic, green fungal goo covertly harnessed from an otherworldly, sentient crystal housed in their third third floor apartment of horrors. Featuring a man who willfully chooses to be a dog, sexual stimulation via blowtorch, and a corpulent, nude and blood soaked Godzilla-sized Jesus, We Await is a shot on video, urban riff on The Texas Chainsaw Massacre that slowly descends into a psycho sexual, drug-fueled, analog aurora borealis nightmare like no other. Starring director Pinion, adult filmmaker David Aaron Clark, visual artist Alyssa Taylor Wendt, and boasting a blistering soundtrack featuring music by Crash Worship, Neurosis, and Unsane.

STARRING: Richard Kern, Holly Adams, Charles Pinion, Amanda Collins, Alyssa Taylor Wendt

Flesh For Frankenstein (1973) (4K Ultra HD / 3-D Blu-ray Set) Available March 29

4 Evil Eyes

In the annals of 70s horror, there are many iconic films. There is only one Flesh For Frankenstein and this edition will allow you to experience it as you never have before and probably never dreamed you could. This 3-disc package contains a 4K UHD (in HDR) edition of the film, and 2-BDs, one containing the NEVER BEFORE ON VIDEO original 3-D version of the film in both Digital 3-D and Anaglyph (glasses included), as well as the Flat version, plus close to 2 hours of newly shot video interviews. Deranged scientist, Baron von Frankenstein, with the help of his bizarre assistant, Otto, is determined to create a new master race, of which he will be the leader. To achieve his objective, he constructs two perfect ‘zombies’ from an assemblage of body parts, intending them to mate. Meanwhile, complications ensue as Nicholas, a farm hand, begins an affair with the Baron’s sexually frustrated wife all while searching for his missing friend Sacha, whose head and brain have been used for Frankenstein’s male “zombie”! A delectably gory and cynical social satire from acclaimed filmmaker Paul Morrissey (Mixed Blood), Flesh For Frankenstein is among the most original and transgressive interpretations of Mary Shelley’s classic novel. With an exceptional cast, led by Udo Kier (Suspiria, Mark of the Devil), in what might be his most iconic performance, Joe Dallesandro (Cry Baby), Monique van Vooren (Sugar Cookies), and Italian child star Nicoletta Elmi (Deep Red), and featuring a lush soundtrack by Claudio Gizzi (Blood for Dracula), Flesh For Frankenstein became an immediate midnight and cult movie sensation. Vinegar Syndrome proudly presents this true genre classic on 4K UHD for the first time, along with its never on home video original 3-D version, newly restored from its original negative!

Beware! Children at Play (1989) Available March 29

4 Evil Eyes

Young Glenn and his father have gone into the woods for a fun-filled camping adventure. But when dad steps into a bear trap, the pair find themselves stranded miles from civilization, with limited supplies and nothing to eat. After his dad dies, Glenn, as a matter of survival, is forced to consume his flesh. Years later, children from a nearby town begin to disappear into the woods, never to be seen again, while adults are murdered in the most savage of fashions. Could not-so-young-anymore Glenn have something to do with all the mayhem?

Shamelessly trashy and a whole lot of fun, prolific cinematographer Mik Cribben’s (The Defiance of Good) sole directorial effort, Beware: Children At Play, is a no holds barred assault on good taste, with a plethora of ultra gory and creative deaths and one of the most ridiculous endings in the history of horror cinema. Another victim of decades of poor quality VHS copies, Vinegar Syndrome is delighted to offer the world Blu-ray debut of Beware: Children At Play, newly restored from its 35mm original camera negative.

STARRING: Michael Robertson, Rich Hamilton, Robin Lilly, Lori Romero, Jamie Kraus
