U.S. label Vinegar Syndrome has announced its March batch of titles. They are: Alex de Renzy's
Babyface II (1986), Alexander Cassini's
Star Time (1991), Jamaa Fanaka's
Welcome Home Brother Charles, and Zachary Strong's
Confessions of a Teenage Peanut Butter Freak (1975).
Star Time
A truly one of a kind mash up of David Lynch (or Michael Snow)-esque art-house surrealism/social commentary, sleazy character drama, slasher trappings, and a surprising amount of well done gore effects. Our release also serves as the home video debut of the original director's cut of the film. Starring Michael St. Gerard, John P. Ryan, and Maureen Teefy.
STREET DATE: MARCH 27.
Babyface II
Synopsis: Working backwards in decades to the 80s, after much demand we've finally restored Alex deRenzy's
Babyface II. While it [almost] lacks the cling wrap wielding heroine of the original, it more than makes up for it with drunk Jamie Gillis popping out of a cake to work magic spells on Lois Ayers, Kristara Barrington, and Stacey Donovan. Also starring Tom Byron, Jerry Butler, Taija Rae, and Francois Papillon.
STREET DATE: MARCH 27.
Welcome Home Brother Charles
Finally, moving to the greatest decade in the history of time, the 70s, we present the last of our Jamaa Fanaka Blu-rays with a double feature of his first two features, the notoriously depraved
Welcome Home Brother Charles (known to some in VHS land as 'Soul Vengeance') and the gritty slice-of-life drama,
Emma Mae, both preserved from their negatives.
STREET DATE: MARCH 27.
DVD ONLY ANNOUNCEMENT:
Confessions of a Teenage Peanut Butter Freak
Then, on DVD, a duo of mid 80s NYC sex film rarities,
Women at Play +
Good Girls Bad Girls, and then the DVD debut of what is probably the best titled film in hardcore movie history,
Confessions of a Teenage Peanut Butter Freak -- a truly crucial piece of SF made underground cinema, which we're meticulously restored to its director's cut.
STREET DATE: MARCH 27.
