As we learned last month, Vinegar Syndrome has restored 1991’s killer doll movie Dolly Dearest, directed by Maria Lease and starring Denise Crosby, Rip Torn and Sam Bottoms.
The film has been newly scanned & restored in 2k from its 35mm interpositive, and the Region Free Blu-ray/DVD combo pack has now been fully detailed and put up for pre-order.
Special Features include:
- “Playing With Dolls” – an interview with lead actress Denise Crosby
- “Dressing the Part” – an interview with actor Ed Gale
- Reversible cover artwork
- SDH English subtitles
“American family Elliot and Marilyn Wade, along with their young children Jessica and Jimmy, have just relocated to Mexico, where Elliot has taken over a doll factory. As they settle into their fresh surroundings, Jessica forms a special bond with her new doll, spending hours with it in her large playhouse. But soon, her mother and older brother sense that something isn’t quite right with the sweetly faced toy. It’s not long before strange and frightening events start to occur, and members of the household begin turning up dead in a series of apparent ‘accidents’.”
A special limited edition embossed slipcover (designed by Earl Kessler Jr.) is limited to 2,500 units and is only available at VinegarSyndrome.com. There’s also a Standard Edition.
Vinegar Syndrome’s April releases also include Pale Blood and Forgotten Gialli: Volume 1.
