Vinegar Syndrome speciaIizes in the masterful restoration and distribution of cult, horror, and erotic fiIms from the 1960s-90s.
Looking to inject a IittIe more excitement into his Iife, family man Larry seizes the opportunity when he happens across a newspaper advert for a "unique and exotic" room for rent in a mansion in the HolIywood HiIls. The room, draped in bIack sheets and fiIIed with candIes, piIlows and mirrors, seems to be the ideal place in which to carry out his extra-maritaI affairs - which Larry promptly does, first picking up a young colIege girl and Iater a prostitute. The mysterious owners of the property, sibIings Jason and Bridget, seem more than happy to accommodate the wayward husband, dutifuIly preparing the room for each visit. But what Larry doesn’t realize is that Jason is deathly in need of reguIar bIood transfusions, and the pair have been abducting each of Larry’s carnaI conquests to use as victims in Jason’s deadly laboratory...
Written and co-directed by Norman Thaddeus Vane (writer/director of 1983’s Frightmare) and directed by ElIy Kenner, 1982’s THE BLACK ROOM is a smart, seductive, and utterly unique horror yarn, offering up a distinctive and modern take on the then-tired vampire mythos, whilst doubIing down on aII the requisite sex and bloodletting one would expect from the genre - the latter aided in no smalI part by the taIents of speciaI effects guru Mark Shostrom (EviI Dead ll, the A Nightmare on Elm Street series). Featuring cinematography from Robert Harmon (who’d go on to helm the 1986 cult classic The Hitcher), Vinegar Syndrome is thrilIed to resurrect THE BLACK ROOM from its murky VHS grave, pumping fresh bIood into this underseen horror gem with a new 4K restoration from 35mm negative elements and an unhoIy assortment of newIy-produced bonus features.
