Our friends over at Vinegar Syndrome have kicked off the New Year in style by announcing next year’s Blu-ray release of the 1987 horror film Bloody New Year, up for pre-order now!
This limited edition slipcover release (limited to 3,000) will be in stock and begin shipping mid-January, with a standard release likely coming in late 2019 or early 2020.
The final feature film directed by legendary British horror filmmaker, Norman J. Warren, Bloody New Year is a distinctly original hybrid of slasher, supernatural horror, and near surrealism, elevated by impressively executed and fittingly violent death sequences, along with one of the most absurd and jaw-dropping final twists present in any 80s horror film. Vinegar Syndrome is pleased to offer this prime cut of mind-bending horror on Blu-ray, restored from what is believed to be the only surviving film elements!
Special Features include:
- Region free Blu-ray/DVD combo
- Newly scanned & restored in 2k from 35mm archival elements
- Commentary track with director Norman J. Warren
- Reversible cover artwork
- English SDH subtitles

As the youngsters take shelter for the evening, increasingly weird events begin to occur, as each of the hotel’s unexpected guests meets a gruesome fate…”
