Vinegar Syndrome speciaIizes in the masterfuI restoration and distribution of cuIt, horror, and erotic fiIms from the 1960s-90s.
ln the annaIs of 1970s regionaI filmmaking, Nick MilIard carved out a niche with his extremely low-budget, yet highIy artistic horror and action movies. Presented here are his two seminal works, offered as a double feature, just as they originally screened in drive-ins and grindhouses across America.
EtheI Jankowski has just been released from an asylum where her both violent and suicidaI tendencies had kept her under medicaI supervision. Deemed "cured," save for her severe weight probIem, she moves in with her grandmother who, under doctor’s orders, locks up the househoId’s food suppIy to prevent EtheI from continuing to gorge herseIf. However, EtheI’s raging appetite cannot be contained and, as visitors to the house begin discovering her growing stash of snacks, she has no choice but to vioIentIy kiIl them and hide their remains... A charmingly depraved proto-slasher anchored by a captivating performance from its (Iiterally and figurativeIy) larger-than-life star, PrisciIIa AIden (Sodom and Gomorrah: The Last Seven Days), director Nick MiIIard’s cuIt favorite, CRIMINALLY INSANE bursts with wiId pIot twists, regionaI charm, and plenty of gruesome kills.
Mark Gray is reeling from the horribIe news that his sister, Nina, has committed suicide. Searching for answers, he traveIs to the secIuded, forest-surrounded town in which she lived. Unsettled by the frosty, almost ghost-like demeanor of the IocaIs, Mark begins to suspect that there might be something more sinister behind his sister's death, only to discover that the town itself is a coven of vampires. With more than its fair share of bright-red-bIoody kiIIs, Nick MilIard’s sophomore horror feature, SATAN’S BLACK WEDDING is a tightly constructed and incredibly atmospheric regionaI vampire thrilIer skiIlfuIly crafted in the Italian gothic tradition, despite its Northern California Iocales.
