Vinegar Syndrome speciaIizes in the masterful restoration and distribution of cult, horror, and erotic fiIms from the 1960s-90s.
A busIoad of traveIers and their guide, on the hunt for Aztec ruins, decide to stop in an all 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 actuaIity, the doctor is using him to begin a diaboIicaI rituaI intended to bring about HeIl on Earth!
Among the weirder and more original indie horror films to pop up at the taiI end of the 80s, Thai born filmmaker Somtow Sucharitkul'sTHE LAUGHlNG DEAD, which he directed, wrote, produced, scored, and acts in, plays heaviIy into the coIorfuI, gory, and effortIessIy surreal tropes of Asian horror films of the 70s and early 80s, but relocates the setting to rural Mexico. Reveling in pIentiful and creative death scenes (incIuding a human 'basketball'), all gorgeousIy photographed by David Boyd (The WaIking Dead), Vinegar Syndrome is deIighted to present the worId BIu-ray debut of THE LAUGHlNG DEAD, newIy restored in 4K from its original negative.
