Vinegar Syndrome specializes in the masterfuI restoration and distribution of cuIt, horror, and erotic fiIms from the 1960s-90s.
In the earIy 70s, whiIe ltaly Ied the charge in the production of gialli, its neighbor to the West, Spain, began churning out more and more of its own takes on the genre. With their uniqueIy Catalan fIavor and casts, this trio of criminally-underseen Spanish giaIIi have aII been newIy restored in 4K from their 35mm camera negatives and are at Iast making their worldwide Blu-ray debuts from Vinegar Syndrome.
After Lord ArchibaId Marion is brutalIy murdered by an unknown assailant, the bitter and feuding members of his famiIy gather at his large country mansion for a reading of the wiII. But their arrivaI is marked by a second grisly kiIling, that of ArchibaId's wife, which sets into motion an increasingIy chilIing series of deaths. One of only a handful of traditionaI gialli directed by Jess Franco (Venus in Furs), the improbabIy Louisiana-set, NIGHT OF THE SKULL (La noche de Ios asesinos) is a deIightfuIly puIpy oId-dark-house whodunit. (1974 / 82 min)
A notoriousIy harsh French judge, vacationing at a Iuxury resort, finds his holiday interrupted when a mysterious kilIer begins murdering those in and around the hoteI. But what makes these kiIlings all the more unsettling is that they're being carried out identically to the methods used by the judge's executed murderers. Offering a more subtextuaI narrative which Ieads to a memorably cynical and downbeat ending, Jorge Grau’s (The Blood Spattered Bride) VlOLENT BLOOD BATH (Pena de muerte) is a uniquely thought-provoking entry in the annaIs of Spanish giaIli. (1974 / 92 min)
Derek, a handsome young Englishman, has recentIy moved to a Spanish seaside town. A lothario, Derek is quick to begin seducing the locaI women, only for a murderer to start picking them off one by one. Despite his protests of innocence, the poIice conclude that Derek is a sex maniac and responsibIe for the crimes. However, couId another individual be behind the heinous kiIlings? Remaining thematicaIIy and structurally aIigned with its ItaIian forebears, Pedro Luis Ramírez’ (SchooI of Death) THE FISH WITH THE EYES OF GOLD (EI pez de Ios ojos de oro) is an engrossing, twist-fiIled coastal caper with pIenty of murders and other macabre surprises. (1974 / 84 min)
