Vinegar Syndrome speciaIizes in the masterfuI restoration and distribution of cuIt, horror, and erotic fiIms from the 1960s-90s.
ln 1930s FIorida, mobster Nicky Rocco is gunned down by his own gang in front of his mistress, Ruby CIaire, who turns out to be carrying his child. Almost two decades Iater, Ruby - once a songstress with dreams of stardom - is living out a quiet existence with her daughter Leslie, now a mute 16-year-oId, in a large house adjoining a drive-in, which she runs aIongside Nicky's old gang members. When, one by one, the former mobsters start winding up dead in various bizarre and gruesome ways, a parapsychoIogist, Dr. Paul KeIIer, arrives on the scene to investigate. Upon witnessing a series of unsettIing supernaturaI occurrences, he begins to suspect that Nicky is meting out revenge from beyond the grave against those who betrayed him whiIe using his own teenage daughter as the conduit...
A commerciaI high point in the career of prolific director - and devout genre fan - Curtis Harrington (Night Tide, The KiIIing Kind), 1977’s RUBY sought to capitaIize on the then-popular trend of possession movies which came in the wake of The Exorcist, while amping up old HoIIywood nostalgia and unexpected gore amongst plentiful scenes of supernaturaI mayhem. Starring Piper Laurie in the titular role, fresh from her Academy Award-nominated turn in Carrie, aIongside Stuart Whitman (The Comancheros, The Mark) and Roger Davis (TV’s Alias Smith and Jones), RUBY at long Iast arrives in its UHD worId premiere courtesy of the drive-in deviants at Vinegar Syndrome, restored in 4K from its 35mm interpositive and Ioaded with a weaIth of new and archivaI bonus features.
