Description: Kicking off the collection is Christopher Lewis' grisly Oklahoma-lensed supernatural slasher, REVENGE, starring Patrick Wayne and John Carradine in the midst of a rural cult of satan-loving killers who use the black arts to wreck havoc on anyone who gets in their way. Enjoy this gruesome classic newly restored from its 16mm original negative with all its bloody effects looking better than ever.
Next up, Doug Robertson's Kentucky based revenge-slasher HAUNTEDWEEN takes the Halloween spirit to newly vengeful heights as a fraternity party becomes a night of bloody mayhem when a masked stalker begins dismembering the guests. Packed with local flavor and a good sense of fun, this truly regional passion project comes to Blu-ray restored in 4K from its 16mm camera negative and packed with new and archival bonus materials.
Finally, from Michael O'Rourke, the man behind the previous HGH's sleeper hit, Moonstalker, comes another (though earlier) demented, Reno shot slasher with the ghostly "romance," DEADLY LOVE! After her lover is murdered, a scorned woman summons his presence from the grave. Years later his ghost still haunts the house of his lover's untimely demise, where he murders anyone who makes the mistake of entering the property. Enjoy this offbeat regional rarity newly restored from its 16mm interpositive.

Description: During the 1980's, Cynthia Rothrock was making a name for herself as "The Queen of Martial Arts," after displaying her fighting talents in numerous Hong Kong films. Still virtually unknown in the States at the time, Golden Harvest Studios wanted to expand Rothrock's fame by having her appear in an American production. Tapping Robert Clouse (Enter the Dragon) to direct, CHINA O'BRIEN and its sequel CHINA O'BRIEN 2 brought Rockrock's hard hitting martial arts style to Western audiences for the first time.
CHINA O'BRIEN: Lori "China" O'Brien is a tough as nails big city cop. After having to use her weapon in the line of duty, China decides to give up her career as a police officer and move back to her hometown of Beaver Creek, Utah. Upon returning home, China discovers that her once quiet town is now being overrun by corruption and organized crime. When China's father - the local Sheriff - is killed, China vows to run for Sheriff herself in order to rid the town of corruption. With the help of her former boyfriend Matt, as well as a mysterious Native American biker named Dakota, China quickly goes into action cleaning up the streets of the town she once loved.
CHINA O'BRIEN 2: China is forced back into action when her quiet town is once again ravaged by violence. Former drug dealer, Charlie Baskin, escapes from prison and sets his sights on those who helped get him arrested. Wrangling a team of criminals, Baskin arrives in Beaver Creek in order to take revenge on a man named Frank who helped put him away. When Baskin kidnaps Frank's wife and daughter, China must once again team up with Matt and Dakota in order to rid the town of criminal lowlifes and protect the innocent.
Co-starring frequent Rothrock collaborator Richard Norton (Mr. Nice Guy), as well as martial artist Keith Cooke (Mortal Kombat), Vinegar Syndrome is proud to present CHINA O'BRIEN and CHINA O'BRIEN 2 for the first time in the United States on 4K UHD, newly restored from studio supplied masters and featuring all the bone breaking action one can expect from Cynthia Rothrock.

Description: New York based filmmaker Eddie Israel (Harvey Keitel, Bad Lieutenant) is embarking on a new production titled Mother of Mirrors, being shot in Los Angeles. Joining Israel in Hollywood are his film's lead actors, Sarah (Madonna, Desperately Seeking Susan) and Francis (James Russo, China Girl), playing an unhappily married couple coming to terms with matters of religion, drug use and unconventional sex. As reality and fiction begin to merge, Israel's wife, Madlyn (Nancy Ferrara, real life wife to Abel), enters the fray of the tumultuous film production that has become home to infidelity, drug use and acts of violence, setting the stage for an unpredictable and uncompromising final act.
A searing, remarkably raw, film industry drama from noted provocateur Abel Ferrara (King of New York), DANGEROUS GAME is propelled by fearless performances from its three leads and a naturalistic, and ferocious, script by frequent Ferrara collaborator Nicholas St. John (Ms. 45, The Addiction). Cinématographe is proud to bring one of Ferrara's most underrated, yet exceedingly powerful, films to blu-ray in a brand new 4K restoration from its uncut original negative with a vast array of newly produced supplements featuring Ferrara himself as well as long time collaborators.
