Resurrection
Description: Jaded homicide detective, John Prudhomme, has been put on the case of a ruthless killer who is hunting the city of Chicago, leaving a trail of horribly mutilated and dismembered corpses, all of which are missing at least one body part, along with perversely ironic biblical quotes. After the unexpected arrival of a neurotic FBI agent named Hollinsworth, who believes he might know the identity of the assailant, the two men join forces to catch a cunning psychopath who all too conveniently seems to be a step ahead…
An ultra stylish hybrid of 90s cop action, murder mystery, and astonishingly gruesome slasher, Russell Mulcahy's (Razorback) RESURRECTION stars cult actor and Cesar Award winning Christopher Lambert (Subway, Mortal Kombat), alongside character actor Leland Orser (Taken, The Bone Collector) and David Cronenberg (Scanners, Crash) in one of his few on screen performances. Never released on Blu-ray, Vinegar Syndrome presents this uniquely sadistic and ultra stylish thriller in a brand new restoration.

Blades
Description: The Tall Grass Country Club offers its members a luxury getaway, with all the best in sport and relaxation. But when a mangled body is discovered on the club's prized golf course, right before a nationally televised tournament, panic ensues at the possibility of a killer on the loose, and even worse, that the death might cause some bad press. Enlisting the expertise of Roy, a has been golf pro, along with disgruntled pro-hopeful, Kelly, to unmask the culprit behind the carnage, the club's hard nosed owner soon finds himself with even bigger problems when additional victims begin to turn up, and all signs point to the killer being an out of control, bloodthirsty lawn mower!
A highly original send up of Jaws, from the makers of Girls School Screamers, Thomas R. Rondinella's BLADES is goofy, gory, and more than a little bit absurd.

After trapping the girls in town overnight, he devises a plan to permanently eliminate any potential witnesses and begins to terrorize and murder the girls one by one…
Packed with nail biting suspense from beginning to end, Richard Styles' SHALLOW GRAVE is an edge-of-your-seat, twist filled, Hitchcockian thriller with very strong slasher tendencies.

Despite being warned about the local legend of a cursed ship which crashed into the nearby cliffs, the wife ventures out into the wild, only to find herself having to fend off a Nazi uniformed mutant, his Gypsy mother, a rogue mummy, a horse possessed by the devil, and more!
Without a doubt one of the strangest horror films ever made in France, Bernard Launois' DEVIL STORY (or, Once Upon A Time…The Devil) is a mind melting and almost indescribable, heavily gore fueled fever dream. Barely seen outside of its native country, but more than deserving of its growing cult following, prepare to forget everything you thought you knew about weird world cinema as you experience DEVIL STORY, newly restored in 4K from its 35mm original camera negative, and loaded with both new and archival extras and interviews, and on disc from Vinegar Syndrome, in the English speaking world for the first time.

But after receiving an invitation from her estranged aunt to stay with her in her large, secluded home, Debbie decides to give it a shot, hoping for new sexual adventures along the way. And she's in luck, because unbeknownst to her, her aunt runs the biggest and best cathouse in the South, where even the lawmen are in on the action, and Debbie is more than willing to help pay her way!
Funnier, sexier, and more outrageous than the original, Jim Clarke's DEBBIE DOES DALLAS PART II (which was shot as "The Best Little Who? In Texas") resurrects Bambi Woods as Debbie, and features her alongside Jeanne Silver, Lisa Be, Lisa Cintrice, Richard Bolla, Ron Jeremy, Alan Adrian, and many others.
