U.S. label Vinegar Syndrome has detailed its upcoming Blu-ray releases of Al Adamson's
Nurse Sherri and Joe Sarno's
A Touch of Genie (1974). The two releases will be available for purchase this June.
Nurse Sherri
Meet Sherri…for an evening of pleasure and terror! Young and beautiful nurse Sherri (Jill Jacobson) has been possessed by a crazed preacher who died of a heart attack. Under his demonic control, he uses Sherri to enact revenge against those who he believes were responsible for his death. As Sherri begins to carry out his bloody bidding, two fellow nurses realize that the only way to stop her may be to exorcise the forces of evil out of her in a ghastly and dangerous ritual!
Directed by legendary cult filmmaker Al Adamson (DRACULA VS. FRANKENSTEIN), NURSE SHERRI is a violent and sleazy hybrid of 'nurse' films and supernatural horror. Chock full of gloriously ludicrous twists, over the top death scenes, and a smattering of T & A, Vinegar Syndrome proudly presents NURSE SHERRI on Blu-ray for the first time anywhere in the world, freshly restored in 2k off of its original 35mm negative and featuring all new interviews with its stars and iconic producer Sam Sherman. Starring: Jill Jacobson, Geoffrey Land, Marilyn Joi, Katherine Pass, and Erwin Fuller.

A Touch of Genie
Melvin (Douglas Stone) lives a boring life, running an antique shop and sneaking off to 42nd Street to watch dirty movies, while dreaming that he too may some day seduce Tina Russell. But one afternoon, he finds a strange old urn that, when rubbed a special way, unleashes a genie (Chris Jordan) capable of satisfying his every wish. Soon Melvin finds himself living out all of his erotic fantasies by taking on the bodies of Marc Stevens, Eric Edwards, and others. There's only one problem…his overbearing mother (Ultramax) keeps on catching him in the act…
Acclaimed filmmaker, Joe Sarno's, ribald and raucous comedy, A TOUCH OF GENIE, co-stars Tina Russell, Harry Reems, Lynn Stevens, and more.
