Limited Edition

Vinegar Syndrome | 1991-1994 | 3 Movies, 4 Cuts | 271 min | Not rated | Mar 31, 2026 | Brian Orndorf

The 1990s proved to be a curious and complicated era for the giallo, with many films made for export markets and direct-to-video, while the form itself was tested with directors attempting new ideas and folding modern trends into their plots. Nevertheless, around the rise of the erotic thriller and despite the contraction of the Italian genre film market overall, the true spirit of the genre soldiered on, still alive and vibrant in the three rare gialli assembled here, all seeing their Blu-ray debuts.
