Vinegar Syndrome will bring to Blu-ray Marc Lawrence's horror film
Pigs (1972), starring Toni Lawrence, Jesse Vint, and Catherine Ross. The release will be available for purchase on March 29.
Lynn Webster is a mysterious and beautiful young woman with a deadly secret. After arriving in a secluded California town, she takes a job as a waitress for Zambrini (Marc Lawrence), an elderly former circus performer who runs a small cafe, complete with a pen of 12 hungry pigs. Local legend has it that his pigs only eat human flesh and that in order to satisfy their growing appetites, Zambrini has begun to murder drifters. Soon the sheriff (Jesse Vint) begins to get suspicious of the strange goings on at Zambrini's farm and grows closer and closer to discovering the shocking truth of the pigs.
Directed by character actor Marc Lawrence and starring his daughter Toni as Lynn.
