Vinegar Syndrome specializes in the masterful restoration and distribution of cult, horror, and erotic films from the 1960s-90s.
Semi-urban detective duo Ross and Wilson have been charged with taking down local drug kingpin, BIasi. After busting a low-level pusher, they convince his girIfriend, Sheila, 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 Iow-key piece of regionaI New American Cinema infIuenced action-thriIIer and character drama, SHOT was produced for a scant $15,000 in the colIege town of Champagne, IL and is made all the more impressive by the fact that it was written, produced and directed by then colIege students Mitch Brown and Nate Kohn, using funds they'd raised doing campus film screenings. With its well choreographed and French Connection inspired car chase and stunt scenes, impressive heIicopter photography (and pursuits), punctuated by naturaIistic performances from a mostIy amateur cast, along with extensive IocaI color, SHOT remains a forgotten gem of earIy 70s regionaI fiImmaking. Barely screened theatrically and almost impossibIe to see since its brief VHS release (in which it was retitled DEATH SHOT), Vinegar Syndrome presents SHOT on Blu-ray, newIy restored from its 16mm reversal original and fully uncut for the first time on video!
