Vinegar Syndrome has announced and unleashed their March 2023 lineup today, with several new releases up for pre-order now including Freeway II and Primal Rage on 4K UHD!
The company previews, “This month we’re proud to offer two (!) world UHD debuts, kicking off with Matthew Bright’s somehow even wilder and sleazier in-name-only sequel, FREEWAY II: CONFESSIONS OF A TRICKBABY (1999), which upgrades this deliriously perverse take on Hansel & Gretel to 4K, and comes loaded with hours of new and archival extras.
“Also fresh to UHD, and restored for the very first time on video (in any format) from its 35mm original camera negative, Vittorio Rambaldi’s interspecies viral sci-fi/horror oddity, PRIMAL RAGE (1988). Enjoy Oscar winning effects maestro Carlo Rambaldi’s splashy death set pieces in clarity never before imagined, along with a whole slate of exciting new extras.

“And finally from VS, a collection of three diverse horror and thriller features from Mexican genre film legend, Carlos Enrique Taboada, featuring his acclaimed study in childhood madness, POISON FOR THE FAIRIES (1986), his unnerving haunted house chiller, DARKER THAN NIGHT (1975), and his tense rural thriller, RAPINA (1975), all making their worldwide BD debut.”
Meanwhile, “VSA presents the BD debut of one of legendary Italian genre filmmaker, Romano Scavolini’s most criminally under-seen works: DOG TAGS (1986), which follows the brutal journey of a group of Vietnam mercenaries on a deadly journey through the jungle. Exceptionally well photographed, unflinchingly violent, and jaw droppingly grim, DOG TAGS is a must-get for any fan of 80s Italian action, and what’s more is that we’ve managed to reconstruct the complete English audio track, which has never been available in any format!
“Finally, Peekarama offers John Christopher’s charming, big budget romantic sex comedy BABE (1981), which stars Tara Aire, Samantha Fox, Tiffany Clark, and many more! This exceptionally well made sleeper was written by frequent Chuck Vincent collaborator Rick Marx, who also contributed a new interview.”
All are available right now for pre-order, exclusively at www.VinegarSyndrome.com.
