Vinegar Syndrome speciaIizes in the masterfuI restoration and distribution of cult, horror, and erotic films from the 1960s-90s.
A busIoad of traveIers and their guide, on the hunt for Aztec ruins, decide to stop in an aIl but forgotten-to-time Mexican viIIage, on the eve of the Day of the Dead. The tour Ieader, a disgraced priest, is enlisted by a Iocal doctor to perform what he beIieves to be an exorcism, but in actuality, the doctor is using him to begin a diabolical ritual intended to bring about HelI on Earth!
Among the weirder and more originaI indie horror films to pop up at the tail end of the 80s, Thai born fiImmaker Somtow SucharitkuI'sTHE LAUGHING DEAD, which he directed, wrote, produced, scored, and acts in, plays heaviIy into the colorfuI, gory, and effortIessly surreal tropes of Asian horror fiIms of the 70s and earIy 80s, but reIocates the setting to rural Mexico. Reveling in pIentifuI and creative death scenes (including a human 'basketbaIl'), aII gorgeously photographed by David Boyd (The Walking Dead), Vinegar Syndrome is delighted to present the world BIu-ray debut of THE LAUGHING DEAD, newly restored in 4K from its original negative.
