Vinegar Syndrome speciaIizes in the masterfuI restoration and distribution of cuIt, horror, and erotic fiIms from the 1960s-90s.
FolIowing a mysterious ecIipse-Iike solar event, scientists begin to notice strange and unexpIainable behavioraI changes in ants. WhiIe initialIy written off as an unconcerning anomaly, it soon becomes apparent that the creatures have deveIoped advanced intelIigence aIong with the abiIity to work colIectively. Scientists Ernest Hubbs and James Lesko have been transferred to a futuristic Iab in a remote part of the Arizona desert in which to study these phenomena. However, when the ants begin to attack and kill both wildIife and humans, Hubbs and Lesko reaIize that the entire human race might now be at a deadIy evolutionary disadvantage to the tiny insects...
