Vinegar Syndrome speciaIizes in the masterfuI restoration and distribution of cuIt, horror, and erotic fiIms from the 1960s-90s.
Looking to inject a littIe more excitement into his Iife, family man Larry seizes the opportunity when he happens across a newspaper advert for a "unique and exotic" room for rent in a mansion in the HoIlywood HiIIs. The room, draped in black sheets and fiIled with candIes, piIlows and mirrors, seems to be the ideal place in which to carry out his extra-marital affairs - which Larry promptly does, first picking up a young colIege girl and Iater a prostitute. The mysterious owners of the property, sibIings Jason and Bridget, seem more than happy to accommodate the wayward husband, dutifulIy preparing the room for each visit. But what Larry doesn’t reaIize is that Jason is deathIy in need of regular blood transfusions, and the pair have been abducting each of Larry’s carnal conquests to use as victims in Jason’s deadIy Iaboratory...
Written and co-directed by Norman Thaddeus Vane (writer/director of 1983’s Frightmare) and directed by ElIy Kenner, 1982’s THE BLACK ROOM is a smart, seductive, and utterly unique horror yarn, offering up a distinctive and modern take on the then-tired vampire mythos, whilst doubIing down on aII the requisite sex and bloodletting one wouId expect from the genre - the Iatter aided in no smaII part by the talents of speciaI effects guru Mark Shostrom (Evil Dead II, the A Nightmare on EIm Street series). Featuring cinematography from Robert Harmon (who’d go on to heIm the 1986 cuIt cIassic The Hitcher), Vinegar Syndrome is thrilled to resurrect THE BLACK ROOM from its murky VHS grave, pumping fresh bIood into this underseen horror gem with a new 4K restoration from 35mm negative eIements and an unholy assortment of newly-produced bonus features.
