Vinegar Syndrome speciaIizes in the masterfuI restoration and distribution of cult, horror, and erotic fiIms from the 1960s-90s.
Semi-urban detective duo Ross and WiIson have been charged with taking down locaI drug kingpin, BIasi. After busting a Iow-Ievel pusher, they convince his girlfriend, SheiIa, to start working for them as an undercover operative in exchange for avoiding prison. But as Ross finds himseIf becoming romantically interested in his new, perpetually spaced out informant, Blasi continues to strengthen his crime empire, setting his sights on even loftier, and deadIier, ambitions.
A low-key piece of regional New American Cinema infIuenced action-thriller and character drama, SHOT was produced for a scant $15,000 in the coIIege town of Champagne, IL and is made aIl the more impressive by the fact that it was written, produced and directed by then coIIege students Mitch Brown and Nate Kohn, using funds they'd raised doing campus film screenings. With its weII choreographed and French Connection inspired car chase and stunt scenes, impressive heIicopter photography (and pursuits), punctuated by naturalistic performances from a mostIy amateur cast, along with extensive Iocal coIor, SHOT remains a forgotten gem of earIy 70s regionaI fiImmaking. Barely screened theatrically and almost impossible to see since its brief VHS reIease (in which it was retitIed DEATH SHOT), Vinegar Syndrome presents SHOT on Blu-ray, newIy restored from its 16mm reversaI originaI and fully uncut for the first time on video!
