Cold Light of Day (1989) (Standard Special Edition) Available March 22

4 Evil Eyes

February, 1983. Detectives are called to a residential address in the London suburbs following reports that the drains have been clogged by human remains. One of the property’s residents, Dennis Nilsen – a mild-mannered and unassuming civil servant – is brought in for questioning, leading to the discovery of one of the most shocking and disturbing cases of serial murder ever to rock Britain.

Offering a grim and gritty retelling of the story of “Des” Nilsen, often dubbed the “British Jeffery Dahmer”, 1989’s Cold Light of Day stars Bob Flag (the face of Big Brother in Michael Radford’s 1984) as Nilsen-cipher Jorden March, delivering one of the most chilling and credible portrayals of a serial killer ever committed to screen.

From writer-director Fhiona-Louise, Cold Light of Day – which picked up the UCCA Venticittà Award at the 1990 Venice International Film Festival – is a hugely underseen and underrated British effort that can stand proudly alongside the likes of Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer as one of the most unflinching true-crime films of all time.

STARRING: Bob Flag, Martin Byrne-Quinn, Geoffrey Greenhill

The Stylist (2020) (Standard Special Edition) Available March 8

4 Evil Eyes

Obsession gets a makeover in The Stylist, a deliciously twisted slice of female-led psychological horror, nominated for the New Visions Award for Best Motion Picture at the 2020 Sitges International Film Festival and based on co-writer/director Jill Gevargizian’s award-winning short film of the same name.

We all dream of being someone else… but for Claire (Najarra Townsend, Contracted), that dream goes from an obsession to a living nightmare. Hairstylist by day, serial killer and collector of scalps by night, Claire’s lonely existence is thrown into turmoil when her regular client, Olivia (Brea Grant, After Midnight, Lucky), asks her to style her hair for her wedding day. Increasingly fixated on Olivia’s seemingly flawless life, Claire vows to lock up her scalp collection and change her ways for good – only to discover that repressing your deadly desires is easier said than done…

Featuring striking visuals and pitch-perfect performances from its talented cast, The Stylist offers viewers “a delicately deranged glimpse into social anxiety and loneliness” (Slashfilm) – a bold and mesmerizing debut feature from a filmmaker to watch.

STARRING: Brea Grant, Najarra Townsend, Sarah McGuire

The Scary of Sixty-First (2021) Available February 22

4 Evil Eyes

Noelle and Addie have just moved into a beautiful, though impossibly cheap, apartment on Manhattan’s prestigious Upper East Side. Not long after their arrival, Addie’s behavior drastically changes, as she begins to sleepwalk and speak in a strange child’s voice, much to the horror of her boyfriend Greg. Noelle, meanwhile, becomes intrigued by a mysterious young woman who inexplicably shows up at their apartment, who reveals that she believes the apartment was previously owned by infamous sex criminal and friend of government elites, Jeffrey Epstein. Determined to uncover the truth, Noelle joins the woman in her search; a journey which takes them deeper into the illicit and occult world of terrifying globalist conspiracies, where violence lurks at every turn.

With strong anti-establishment sensibilities, well executed social and political satire, plentiful sex and nudity, and a satisfyingly bleak and violent final act, writer/director/co-star Dasha Nekrasova’s The Scary Of Sixty-First is an unfiltered and wholly original, contemporary exploitation-horror film. Paying homage to 70s Euro-horror through its gel-heavy 16mm cinematography by Hunter Zimny and a throbbing score by Eli Keszler, Vinegar Syndrome Pictures is thrilled to present the worldwide home video debut of The Scary Of Sixty-First, in a special features loaded Blu-ray edition.

Forgotten Gialli: Volume 3 Available February 22

4 Evil Eyes

In this third installment in our celebration of gialli, we are proud to offer this trio of diverse & bloody offerings!

Autopsy: A wave of sudden, violent suicides have gripped Rome and are being blamed on sun spots. Simona, a young pathologist, has become increasingly interested in this strange phenomenon. But with the discovery of the body of a young woman, Simona finds herself thrust into a terrifying mystery and conspiracy to cloak actual murders as suicides.

An expertly directed thriller from Armando Crispino (The Dead Are Alive), Autopsy (made under the title Sun Spots & released internationally as The Victim), this stars Mimsy Farmer (Four Flies on Grey Velvet), Barry Primus (New York, New York), and Ray Lovelock (Let Sleeping Corpses Lie). Featuring stunning photography from veteran DP Carlo Carlini (The Bloodstained Butterfly) and score from Ennio Morricone (A Lizard in a Woman’s Skin), Vinegar Syndrome is proud to bring Autopsy to Blu-ray, fully uncensored & featuring its English & Italian language audio tracks fully intact.

Murder Mansion: On a dark and foggy night, a group of strangers find themselves stranded at an old mansion. Deciding to spend the night and look for help in the morning, the group pair off for bed. As the night wares on, increasingly strange events begin to occur, culminating in murder. Tensions and suspicions rise…but is the explanation behind these ghastly events truly supernatural?

One of the best and most effective combos of mid 60s style gothic Euro horror and early 70s flavored giallo intrigue, Francisco Lara Polop’s Murder Mansion (originally The Mansion in the Fog) became a drive-in & late-nite TV hit in the US during the mid 1970s. Never legally released in the US on disc, Vinegar Syndrome proudly presents the Blu-ray premier, newly restored in 4K from its original negative and including its original Spanish soundtrack and its English and nearly impossible to find Italian dubs.

Crazy Desires Of A Murderer: The Countess Ileana has just returned to her family’s grand old castle, where her paralyzed father and strange younger brother reside. Almost immediately after arriving, one of Ileana’s friends is shockingly murdered and has her eyes plucked out of their sockets. While suspicion falls on Ileana’s brother, a curious police inspector (character actor Corrado Gaipa of The Godfather and My Dear Killer) begins to investigate. However, his sleuthing proves no match for this maniac, as the body count steadily rises.

A delirious mix of gothic horror, sex drama, and murder mystery, Filippo Walter Ratti’s Crazy Desires Of A Murderer (known in Italy as The Morbid Vices of a Housekeeper) remains one of the forgotten treats of late 70s giallo cinema. Never released theatrically in the English speaking world and virtually unavailable on home video, Vinegar Syndrome is delighted to bring this trashy rarity to Blu-ray, newly restored in 4K from its 35mm original negative!

STARRING: Mimsy Farmer, Barry Primus, Ray Lovelock, Carlo Cataneo, Evelyn Stewart

Curfew (1989) Available February 22

Ray and Bob Perkins are brothers whose grisly killing spree has landed them on death row.

Leaving a trail of maimed corpses as they enact their revenge, the brothers finally arrive at their prime target: the home of district attorney Walter Davenport and his wife. What they don’t expect, however, is the late return home of the Davenport’s teenage daughter, Stephanie…

Mixing action, home invasion drama, and slasher pretenses, Gary Winick’s (Charlotte’s Web) directorial debut, Curfew, is a tense, edge of your seat thriller with a high body count and a healthy dose of dark humor. Starring Kyle Richards (Watcher in the Woods), John Putch (Jaws 3-D), and Wendell Wellman (Sudden Impact), Vinegar Syndrome is pleased to present the worldwide Blu-ray debut of Curfew, newly restored in 2K and featuring an assortment of new interviews with cast and crew.

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1994) (Special Edition) Available April 12

4 Evil Eyes

BE WARNED… IT’S ALIVE!

Kenneth Branagh leads an all-star cast including Robert De Niro, Helena Bonham Carter, Tom Hulce, Ian Holm, John Cleese and Aidan Quinn in his definitive cinematic version of Mary Shelley’s classic tale of gothic terror.

At the turn of the 19th century, visionary scientist Victor Frankenstein (Kenneth Branagh) embarks on an obsessive quest to conquer the mysteries of human mortality. But his hubristic bid to create life out of death goes hideously wrong, and succeeds only in begetting a deformed monster (Robert De Niro). Horrified by what he has wrought, the scientist attempts to destroy his creation, but fails. Rejected by his creator and shunned by the world of man, the tormented creature swears vengeance against Frankenstein and his family. As the monster begins to enact his murderous revenge, Victor must face a terrible reckoning with the tragic consequences of attempting to play God.

Mary Shelley’s seminal novel is one of the most adapted books of all time, and this retelling faithfully goes back to the original source, lushly transforming the story’s twin themes of love and death into a darkly operatic gothic romance. Unlike many versions of Shelley’s novel, Branagh’s adaptation understands that Frankenstein’s misbegotten creation is as pitiable as he is monstrous, and never loses sight of the human tragedy lying at the core of its horrific tale. Filled with sweeping, atmospheric visuals and powerfully emotional performances from an award-winning ensemble of acting talent, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein stands as a landmark interpretation of this enduring masterpiece.

STARRING: Kenneth Branagh, Robert De Niro, Helena Bonham Carter, Tom Hulce, Aidian Quinn
