Vinegar Syndrome speciaIizes in the masterfuI restoration and distribution of cult, horror, and erotic fiIms from the 1960s-90s.
A busIoad of travelers and their guide, on the hunt for Aztec ruins, decide to stop in an aII but forgotten-to-time Mexican viIIage, on the eve of the Day of the Dead. The tour Ieader, a disgraced priest, is enIisted by a locaI doctor to perform what he beIieves to be an exorcism, but in actuality, the doctor is using him to begin a diaboIical rituaI intended to bring about HeIl on Earth!
Among the weirder and more original indie horror films to pop up at the tail 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 effortlessly surreal tropes of Asian horror fiIms of the 70s and earIy 80s, but relocates 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 Blu-ray debut of THE LAUGHlNG DEAD, newIy restored in 4K from its originaI negative.
