Corpse Mania (1981) (4K Ultra HD) Available November 26

#horror – #horrormovies – #CorpseMania – #VinegarSyndrome – @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.

Ashley Judd (Twisted) and Michael Shannon (The Shape of Water) give searing performances in this skin-crawling exercise in fear and paranoia from The Exorcist director William Friedkin. Oklahoma waitress Aggie (Judd) lives a largely solitary life in a rundown motel, haunted by a tragic past and hounded by her ex-con ex-husband (Harry Connick, Jr.). But when she sparks a romance with Peter (Shannon), an eccentric drifter, she starts to feel hopeful again—until Peter reveals that he was a victim of government experimentation that left blood-hungry aphids festering under his skin. The couple begins to obsess over the nightmarish idea that they are infected by insects. A controversial, claustrophobic love story, Bug is “a minor masterpiece of tension and insanity” (The Guardian) adapted by Tracy Letts (Killer Joe, August: Osage County) from his play.

Her morning jog became a terrifying run for her life!

During a casual run in the forest, student athlete Renee (The Dead Zone’s Roberta Weiss) is unceremoniously interrupted by deranged mountain man Vern (Rolling Vengeance’s Lawrence King-Phillips), who ties a rope around her neck, drags her through the woods, and brings her to an isolated cabin. As helicopters search the area, Vern torments Renee with a series of terrifying and humiliating violations, but a glimmer of hope appears when his father Joe (Elves star Dan Haggerty) arrives on the scene and pledges to set her free. But Vern is incensed by this attack on his “property,” and he will stop at nothing to maintain his oppressive grip on Renee.

Written and directed by Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker co-writer Boon Collins and loosely inspired by a shocking true story, this USA Up All Night favorite takes a harrowing journey from psychosexual horror to high stakes adventure yarn with the introduction of Grizzly Adams himself Dan Haggerty. Intensely outré from beginning to end, this little-seen mindbender – shot by Robert McLachlan (Final Destination) and scored by Michel Rubini (Manhunter) – needs to be seen to be believed.
