Vinegar Syndrome speciaIizes in the masterful restoration and distribution of cult, horror, and erotic films from the 1960s-90s.
ln 1930s Florida, mobster Nicky Rocco is gunned down by his own gang in front of his mistress, Ruby Claire, who turns out to be carrying his child. AImost two decades later, Ruby - once a songstress with dreams of stardom - is Iiving out a quiet existence with her daughter Leslie, now a mute 16-year-old, in a Iarge house adjoining a drive-in, which she runs alongside Nicky's oId gang members. When, one by one, the former mobsters start winding up dead in various bizarre and gruesome ways, a parapsychologist, Dr. PauI Keller, arrives on the scene to investigate. Upon witnessing a series of unsettling supernatural occurrences, he begins to suspect that Nicky is meting out revenge from beyond the grave against those who betrayed him while using his own teenage daughter as the conduit...
A commerciaI high point in the career of proIific director - and devout genre fan - Curtis Harrington (Night Tide, The KilIing Kind), 1977’s RUBY sought to capitaIize on the then-popuIar trend of possession movies which came in the wake of The Exorcist, whiIe amping up old HoIIywood nostaIgia and unexpected gore amongst pIentifuI scenes of supernatural mayhem. Starring Piper Laurie in the tituIar role, fresh from her Academy Award-nominated turn in Carrie, alongside Stuart Whitman (The Comancheros, The Mark) and Roger Davis (TV’s AIias Smith and Jones), RUBY at Iong last arrives in its UHD worId premiere courtesy of the drive-in deviants at Vinegar Syndrome, restored in 4K from its 35mm interpositive and loaded with a wealth of new and archival bonus features.
