Newlyweds Stefan and Valerie are travelling through Europe when they make a detour to a deserted seaside hotel. Their romantic idyll takes a dark turn when they meet the enigmatic countess Báthory (Delphine Seyrig, Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles) and her mysterious companion Ilona, whose unsettling charm and aristocratic poise mask a deadly intent. A Euro-horror classic, Daughters of Darkness is an opulent fever dream, weaving a sapphic subtext and feminist undercurrent beneath its baroque surface. Thematically rich.

Summary Notes

A policeman forsakes his dream of world travel to care for a mentally impaired brother, who is later kidnapped by gangsters.

UK: BBFC 18 rated for strong violence:

Promotional Material

World-famous for their action and derring-do, old friends Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung teamed up for a film that shows there's much more to them than brawling.

Jackie plays a good-hearted cop looking after his learning-disabled brother Danny, played by Sammo, but doesn't always succeed in keeping him out of trouble. When Danny is taken as a hostage, his brother will risk everything - his career and even his life ---to rescue him, throwing it down as only Jackie Chan can.

Made the same year as Police Story, Heart of Dragon was a change of pace for the great action artists, giving them a chance to show of their acting chops as well as their stunt skills - even if they don't ignore the latter! 88 Films are proud to present this Worldwide 4K premiere of a Hong Kong classic.

Banned as a video nasty in 1983. Released uncut on 18 rated 2006 DVD. Uncut and MPAA Unrated in the US. Thanks to Mike.

Summary Notes

Near the end of WW2, prisoners of war are used in experiments to perfect the "Aryan" race.

UK: Uncut and BBFC 18 rated for strong violence, sex and nudity:

Promotional Material

Possibly the most infamous entry into the Nazisploitation genre, Sergio Garrones SS Experiment Camp is a harrowing and deliberately triggering experience which, even by todays standards is as powerful as it was when originally released in 1976. From its provocative, tabloid baiting original poster of a naked woman dangling crucified and naked, the movie pushed the boundaries as far as it could. Set during the tail-end of World War II we follow the deranged experiments performed on innocent prisoners of war by the utterly sadistic and evil Colonel von Kleiben in his attempt to create the perfect Aryan race. Shocking, notorious and endlessly exploitative, the movie continues to disgust audiences all over the globe nearly 50 years after its initial release.

A History of Violence

A History of Violence is a 2005 US/Canada/UK/Germany action thriller by David Cronenberg
Starring Viggo Mortensen, Maria Bello and Ed Harris BBFC link 2020 IMDb

Cut in the US for an MPAA R rating. Distributed uncut in the rest of the world. The film was also cut in India and the Philippines

Summary Notes

A mild-mannered man becomes a local hero through an act of violence, which sets off repercussions that will shake his family to its very core.

UK: Uncut and BBFC 18 rated for strong violence, injury detail, sexual threat:

Promotional Material

In David Cronenbergs subtly provocative film, one of his most celebrated, all is not as it initially seems. In his first of many collaborations with the director, Viggo Mortensen delivers a highly nuanced performance as Tom Stall, a small-town husband and father who is hailed as a hero when he kills the would-be perpetrators of a violent robbery. But how did this ordinary family man dispatch them with such skill? Working with an exceptional cast that also includes Maria Bello, Ed Harris, and William Hurt, Cronenberg slyly deconstructs the mythos of the American action hero, posing elemental questions about identity, human nature, and the violence that we both abhor and cant look away from.

A devastating depiction of sexual violence and female rage, with a stunning central performance from Zoë Lund (credited as Zoë Tamerlis), Ms. 45 arrives on 4K UHD in a brand-new restoration that gives an extraordinary glimpse into the grimy glamour of New York in the 80s and with all its controversial power intact.

Promotional Material

From out the seething heat of the endless desert comes the nameless man (Robert John Burke, RoboCop 3, Thinner), his worn-down boot-heels tapping across the hard-baked earth. His old and ruthless spirit has smelled the town dying from afar and he has come to collect the souls to build his power. Soon the wasteland is littered with burned and disfigured remains and Ben Mukurob (Zakes Mokae, The Serpent and the Rainbow), the last policeman in the small town of Bethany, is faced with a mystery that threatens his eternal soul. Into this maelstrom of horror comes Wendy (Chelsea Field, Masters of the Universe), a young woman on the run from a broken marriage. Her flight has led her into the desert and perhaps into the arms of the Devil Himself. Filmmaking visionary Richard Stanley (director of the seminal cyberpunk shocker Hardware) has conjured a mystical mélange of windswept Spaghetti Western and hallucinatory horror/fantasy, spectacularly filmed on location in the Great Namib Desert of Africa.

Promotional Material

*This listing is for the standard edition version and does NOT come with a limited edition slipcase!*

Vinegar Syndrome specializes in the masterful restoration and distribution of cult, horror, and erotic films from the 1960s-90s.

"There's nothing more despicable than a bent policeman." In a less-than-swinging area of London, the grizzled Detective Sgt. Pierce is obsessed with taking down a local kingpin, Quince, who is an expert at evading arrest, as he was once a policeman himself. Meanwhile, PC Strange is a new beat cop, fresh and idealistic about serving the public good, who meets a hippie girl named Frederika while quieting a street scuffle. Frederika takes an interest in Strange, who is quickly learning the harder realities of police life. When Strange gets trapped in a budding scandal, it's Pierce who convinces Strange he can save him, but only if Strange helps bend the law to entrap Quince.

An early feature from prolific telefilm director David Greene (I Start Counting; Rich Man, Poor Man), THE STRANGE AFFAIR combines the grit of US police drama with English working-class culture, delivering a strong update to the form with its multiple storylines and cynical eye on both pop culture and bureaucracy. Featuring powerful performances from Michael York (Austin Powers, Murder on the Orient Express), Susan George (Straw Dogs, Tintorera), and Jeremy Kemp (Top Secret!, Dr. Terror's House of Horrors), it also boasts a stunning soundtrack by experimental composer Basil Kirchin (The Abominable Dr. Phibes) and photography from Alex Thomson (The Keep). Vinegar Syndrome Labs is proud to offer the disc debut of this police thriller, newly restored in 4K from its original Techniscope negative.

Crocodile Dundee: The Encore Cut

Crocodile Dundee: The Encore Cut is a 1986 Australia/US comedy adventure by Peter Faiman
Starring Paul Hogan, Linda Kozlowski and John Meillon BBFC link 2020 IMDb

The shortened International Version was cut for strong language. This was released in the UK without further cuts for a 15 rated cinema release in 1986. However BBFC category cuts were required for 15 rated VHS. These video cuts were waived for the DVD release of the International Version. In 2025 modern sensitivities resulted in transgender jokes being cut for a version entitled The Encore Cut.

The UK theatrical version was uncut though video releases were edited by 23 seconds for a '15' certificate by the BBFC to remove shots of a man snorting cocaine and Sue's referral to the drug as "a buzz" during the party scene. These cuts were waived in 2002. However all UK releases feature the US print which replaces 'stickybeak' with 'busybody' and overdubs one of the pimp's 2 uses of 'fuck' (replaced with 'screw') which were made to secure the film a US PG-13 certificate.

Summary Notes

An American reporter travels to the Australian outback to meet eccentric poacher Mick "Crocodile" Dundee and invites him to New York City, where he comes face-to-face with the complexities of modern life.

Promotional Material

Mixing themes of misguided teenage spirit, religious responsibility and mortal sin, Absolution is a complex murder mystery which gave Richard Burton one of his strongest cinema roles of the 1970s. Set in an exclusive boarding school, we focus on Benji (Dominic Guard) who decides to play a prank and confesses to overly-strict Father Goddard (Burton) that hes murdered a man named Blakey (Billy Connolly in his screen debut). Goddard uncovers the lie but when Benji confesses to the murder again, the priest finds his life turning into an ever-darkening nightmare. Written by Anthony Shaffer (The Wicker Man) and directed by Anthony Page (The Lady Vanishes) this is a suspenseful and twisted tale which utilises its remote setting to truly turn up the tension.

Promotional Material

From Alex Proyas, visionary director of The Crow , comes Dark City , a mind-bending science fiction thriller set in a shadowy world where the sun never rises and nothing is quite what it seems.

John Murdoch (Rufus Sewell) wakes in a hotel bathtub with no memory of who he is or how he got there, but theres a body on the floor with bloody spirals carved into the flesh and a voice on the phone that tells him to flee. Soon Murdoch is on the run, wanted by the police, a woman who claims to be his wife and a group of mysterious pale men who seem to control everyone and everything in the city... except him.

With a cast that includes Kiefer Sutherland ( The Lost Boys ), William Hurt ( A History of Violence ), Jennifer Connelly ( Phenomena ) and Richard OBrien ( The Rocky Horror Picture Show ), and a script by Proyas, Lem Dobbs ( Kafka ) and David S. Goyer ( Batman Begins ), Dark City is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma, filmed through a lens of film noir and German expressionism... an extraordinary feast for the cinematic senses.

Promotional Material

Terrence Malick's magnum opus, a visionary hymn to nature and grace, in an edition featuring a new extended cut.

Four decades into an already legendary career, Terrence Malick realized his most rapturous vision to date, tracing a story of childhood, wonder, and grief to the outer limits of time and space. Reaching back to the dawn of creation, Malick sets a story of boyhood memories on a universal scale, charting the coming of age of an awestruck child (newcomer Hunter McCracken) in Texas in the 1950s, as he learns to navigate the extremes of nature and grace represented by his bitter, often tyrannical father (Brad Pitt) and his ethereal, nurturing mother (Jessica Chastain, in her breakout role). Achieved with the aid of cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki and production designer Jack Fisk, the Palme d'Or-winning The Tree of Life marks the intimately personal, cosmically ambitious culmination of Malick's singular approach to filmmaking.

DIRECTOR-APPROVED TWO BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES:

  • New 4K digital restoration, supervised and approved by director Terrence Malick and cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack

  • New video essay by critic Benjamin B about the film's cinematography and style, featuring audio interviews with Lubezki, production designer Jack Fisk, and other crew members

Promotional Material

Stanley Kubricks career-capping Eyes Wide Shut unfolds in a dreamscape vision of New York City, where doctor Bill Harford (Tom Cruise) and his wife, Alice (Nicole Kidman), confront the unconscious desires, jealousies, and fears threatening their marriage. A Christmastime odyssey into a surreal sexual underworld whose hidden power structures are laid frighteningly bare, the film marks the fulfillment of the directors decades-long desire to adapt Arthur Schnitzlers novella Traumnovelle ( Dream Story ) and the culmination of his obsessive interest in the relationship between institutional authority and the individual. Released in 1999, the film also serves as a fitting coda to a century of cinema, by one of its greatest visionaries--an endlessly tantalizing labyrinth whose myriad symbols, mysteries, and meanings are still being unraveled.

This collection includes the original three Ninja movies starring martial arts legend Shô Kosugi (Pray for Death, Rage of Honor).

Enter the Ninja (1981) tells the story of Cole (Franco Nero), a steely-eyed westerner who has been inducted into the secret fighting rituals of the Ninja. Coming to the aid of his friends against land-grabbing oil barons, he easily takes on all opponents until a masterful Ninja assassin, Hasegawa (Kosugi), is brought into the fray, prompting one of the most sensational battle-to-the-death sequences ever captured on celluloid. Director Menahem Golan fires off a fast-paced, high-quality, tough-as-nails martial arts extravaganza with style and poise.

Kosugi returns in Revenge of the Ninja (1983), delivering a heart-pounding display of strength, speed and lethal Ninja know-how. When a band of Ninja assassins slaughters his family, Cho Osaki (Kosugi) flees to America in the hope of building a new life. A former Ninja himself, Osaki soon discovers he has become the pawn of a ruthless drug trafficker--an American Ninja intent on killing anyone who crosses his path...including Osaki. Director Sam Firstenberg ignites the screen with slam-bang action scenes, mind-blowing stunts and legendary villains.

In Ninja III: The Domination (1984), aerobics instructor Christie Ryder (Lucinda Dickey) suddenly finds herself possessed by the diabolical spirit of a Ninja assassin. Dominated by the killers relentless rage, she sets out to brutally destroy his enemies. In a life-threatening exorcism and ultimate fight to the death, the good Ninja Yamada (Kosugi) proves that he is Christies only chance for survival...and that only a Ninja can kill a Ninja. Director Sam Firstenberg delivers an insanely entertaining action/horror hybrid, bursting with phantasmagorical feats of strength and bone-cracking stunts.

It would seem that Doriana is unable to experience sexual satisfaction. Her enigmatic presence brings her many lovers; mostly female who are unable to resist her charms. In succumbing to their lust for Doriana, they pay the ultimate price. As she brings them to orgasm, they perish as a result. This curse is apparently what keeps her young and enchanting.

Jess Franco's surreal, sexually explicit riff on the famous Oscar Wilde story features his main muse, the gorgeous Lina Romay (ROLLS ROYCE BABY), in one of her most powerful and raw performances. Romay stars as vampiric aristocrat Doriana Gray, a fluid-drinking succubus who shares a strange bond with her sexually voracious twin sister. It seems that when one woman feels aroused, the other sibling experiences every sensation, a phenomenon that is illustrated in shocking, salacious detail when a sexy young reporter comes to call...

Full of hypnotic imagery, dreamy music and dynamic supporting turns from frequent Franco collaborator Monica Swinn, DORIANA GRAY (aka MARQUISE DE SADE) is a highlight of the director's '70s output and one of the finest of his pictures made for Swiss exploitation mogul Erwin C. Dietrich.

A group of young adults visit a boarded up campsite named Crystal Lake and encounter the deadly Jason Voorhees in this remake of the horror classic!

In 2003, director Marcus Nispel made a lasting impression on horror fans with his box-office-topping remake The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Six years later, he turned his camera to another slasher icon, none other than the hulking masked killer Jason Voorhees, in his gore-soaked remake of Friday the 13th.

A group of oblivious teenagers choose Camp Crystal Lake as the destination for a weekend getaway. Among them, the young Clay Miller (Jared Padalecki, Supernatural) is not looking for fun and frolics, but for his sister Whitney who disappeared around the lake six weeks earlier. The trip turns into a waking nightmare as the bloodthirsty Jason emerges from the shadows, wielding a deadly machete and out for blood. Cut off from civilization, these youths discover too late that Crystal Lake bears the scars of a violent past as they uncover the terrifying events that spurred the masked killer's quest for violent vengeance.

Nispel's taut direction and the stunning cinematography by Daniel Pearl - whose credits include the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre as well as the remake - bring a fresh and terrifying new perspective to the infamous hockey-masked maniac, sure to bring chills and thrills to even hardened horror veterans!

TWO DISC COLLECTION
THE WORLDWIDE UHD PREMIERE


For his follow-up to VAMPYROS LESBOS, writer/director Jess Franco delivered the 'drop dead gorgeous' ( Franconomicon ) 'stunning slice of eroticism' ( The Spinning Image ) that remains his most perversely iconic shocker of the 70s, now in UHD for the first time ever : In her greatest role -- and one of her final performances before her tragic death -- the luscious Soledad Miranda stars as a vengeful widow who seduces and murders the men and women responsible for her husbands suicide. Howard Vernon (THE AWFUL DR. ORLOFF), Paul Muller (LADY FRANKENSTEIN), Ewa Strömberg (VAMPYROS LESBOS) and Jess himself co-star in this EuroCult masterwork 'that truly shows what a creative genius Franco could be when he is at the top of his form' ( Classic Horror ), newly scanned in 4K from the original camera negative with Special Features that include an archival interview with Uncle Jess and an all-new instalment of In the Land of Franco .
