Infamous for his arrest, trial, and conviction in the 1990s for his self-published comix, artist Mike Diana also made a string of homemade films. Starting with 8mm in the early ’80s and graduating to video, Diana enlisted his own family and neighborhood kids in an array of bizarre, gross, and hilarious movies, to varied levels of completion.The 1989 feature Blood Brothers is Diana’s demented update on the slasher trend. Quite literally a “backyard movie,” it mostly stars children, and what it lacks in its zero-dollar budget it makes up for with unhinged charm. Illicit substances, coat-hanger abortions, mutilation and decapitation have never been so fun. 1990’s Baked Baby Jesus is a loud, unapologetic shot-on-video revolt against the downfall of American society. As if it was designed to be seen by Diana’s enemies instead of his peers, the shorts marry together real abortion rally footage, a necrophiliac love story, and perhaps the most infamous sequence of all, a tour of the infant-only cemetery Babyland. Both films were originally traded through the mail, and have only been available directly through Mike Diana himself. Factory 25 has gone back to the original video sources and provided higher quality than ever before possible (previous versions had primitive sound dubbing and editing) and has overseen the reconstruction of several otherwise lost short films, some completed here for the first time.

A psychiatrist, a fashion photographer, and a detective find their lives intertwined in a curious case involving the disappearance of several male models. Steven Callahan (David Wittman) is a well respected therapist who has just taken on a new client named Christian (Joseph F. Alexandre) who’s an aspiring fashion photographer and suffers from a series of bizarre and violent fantasies. As the fantasies become more vivid, Steven becomes suspicious that these are more than just random thoughts. Simultaneously, foul mouthed detective Tim Poroski (John Thomas) is faced with a series of murders and disappearances of several male models. PSYCHOTROPIC OVERLOAD is one of the most unique independent horror movies of the 90s. It’s a very Hitchcockian movie and cleverly blends the video format with 8mm and 16mm films elements. We are so excited for this to get a new audience.
STARRING: David Whitman, John Thomas, Joseph F. Alexandre

Three girlfriends descend upon a remote cabin for an idyllic, weekend getaway. Amidst the partying, Angelique (Christine Gallo) begins to research the bizarre circumstances surrounding the death of her grandfather, the former owner of the cabin. She soon discovers that her grandfather had collected documented evidence of a local satanic cult and their evil endeavors. After a drunken prank goes horribly wrong, a cloaked and claw-gloved satanic killer lays siege upon the cabin; forcing the girls to fight for their sanity and lives.
The startling feature debut from New York based writer/director Sal Ciavarello, HARDCORE POISONED EYES is a claustrophobic, cabin bound, winter set chamber piece which Rue Morgue magazine called both “atmospheric and jarring.” By utilizing a single location, an insular cast, and the dynamic visual stylings of Emmy-nominated cinematographer Huy Truong, Ciavarello’s HARDCORE POISONED EYES was significant for delivering genuine tension and nail-biting chills which were commonly absent from the work of his SOV contemporaries.
STARRING: Anthony Fariello, Christine Gallo, Jessica Hester, Wendy Allyn

In the year 2000, budding moviemaker Chris Seaver (“The Weirdsies”) connected with a like-minded group of pop culture geeks from Long Island, New York to create “Mulva: Zombie Ass Kicker!,” a crude yet hilariously over-the-top horror/comedy made for a mere $400 which went on to worldwide distribution on DVD, Blu-ray, and streaming. Two and a half decades later, Seaver returns with a bigger, more outrageous reboot that this time pits our sugar-infused heroine against the metrosexual antagonists from the director’s infamous “Filthy McNasty” quadrilogy. Mulva is frustrated by her inability to reach the final level in Koon Sheen Do, so her friends hold an epic Halloween-themed summer party in the hopes of cheering her up. But a pair of uninvited no-good-nick outcasts threaten to derail those plans by summoning a trio of Shkima sex demons who will grant their wish to spoil Mulva’s food — in exchange for wreaking carnal havoc upon the unspecting partygoers. It’s the ultimate geek versus succubus throwdown!

Héctor (Karra Elejalde) lives with his wife Clara (Candela Fernández) in the peaceful Spanish countryside. One day, while relaxing in their backyard, Héctor spies a woman removing her clothes in a nearby forest via his binoculars. Once alone, he travels to her location to find the woman naked and presumably dead. He is attacked by an unknown, bandaged man, causing him to run further into the forest, where he stumbles upon a top-secret research facility, which happens to be home to a time machine. Upon meeting El Joven (played by director Nacho Vigalondo), a scientist in control of the facility and its machine, Héctor travels back in time one hour. Operating against El Joven’s wishes, Héctor leaves the facility, setting off a series of events with increasingly dark consequences.
The feature film debut of writer/director Nacho Vigalondo (Colossal, Open Windows), TIMECRIMES is an audacious mash-up of science fiction, horror, and murder mystery. Shot entirely on Super 16mm film by Spanish cinematographer Flavio Martínez Labiano (The Day of the Beast), a frequent collaborator of Álex de la Iglesia, and featuring almost entirely analog effects, TIMECRIMES is a lovingly old-fashioned throwback to the sci-fi films of the 60s and 70s while retaining much of the expected excesses of the genre films of the 2000s. Vinegar Syndrome is proud to present Nacho Vigalondo’s impeccably crafted, often very nasty, journey through time in a brand new 4K restoration of its 35mm DI negative for its world UHD premiere.
