Chris Miller (former Spanish child star, Marisol) lives with her stepmother Ruth (Jean Seberg; Breathless) in a large secluded mansion in the countryside. Both women have been traumatized by the mysterious disappearance of Chris’ father but their isolation is soon interrupted by the arrival of a mysterious young drifter, Barney (Barry Stokes; Prey), who they take on as a handyman. All the while, an Unknown scythe wielding killer has been stalking the area, leaving an ever growing body count, and it’s not long before the women grow increasingly suspicious of Barney…
A bloody and twist filled giallo from acclaimed filmmaker Juan Antonio Bardem (Death of a Cyclist), THE CORRUPTION OF CHRIS MILLER has remained one of the hardest to see of all Spanish produced gialli. Lushly photographed by Juan Gelpi (Crypt of the Living Dead) and scored by Waldo de los Rios (House That Screamed), Vinegar Syndrome is proud to present this under-seen masterpiece of early 70s Euro horror in a brand new 4k restoration and in its original scope framing, for the first time on home video.

Janet has just returned home from college to visit her conservative family at their remote farmhouse, nestled deep in the countryside. What should be a happy reunion is quickly disrupted by the arrival of an unexpected guest: a mystery killer who photographs their unsuspecting victims before murdering them in a variety of brutal ways. As her family and friends are picked off one by one, Janet is forced to fend off the mysterious maniac, all the while uncovering unsettling secrets surrounding her family’s violent and perverse past…
An indulgently sleazy and creative American take on the giallo, as filtered through an 80’s slasher film structure, Terrence O’Hara’s DARKROOM is a suspenseful and red herring filled murder mystery.

David and Lynn have just lost their father. Now orphaned, the youngsters are sent to live with their grandparents in a beautiful victorian mansion. But no sooner than boarding the coach bus scheduled to take them to their new home do strange things start to occur, initially in the form of a mysterious woman who seems to appear and disappear in the blink of an eye. It’s not long, however, before murdered bodies are found in the area and, to make matters worse, David becomes increasingly fearful that his doting grandparents might be involved in the killings.

Special limited edition embossed slipcover (designed by Earl Kessler Jr.) is limited to 1,500 units and is only available at VinegarSyndrome.com!
Harry (Tony Hudson) is an ambitious director of hardcore movies who’s reached a breaking point. Fearing that he is artistically burnt out and struggling to find meaning in both his life and work, Tony finds solace with the companionship of an equally emotionally damaged young actress named Susan (Sharon Mitchell). As their relationship grows, Tony hopes to find the creative inspiration to finish his latest film, as Susan continues on a downward spiral which threatens to destroy them both.
Director Gerard Damiano’s (Memories Within Miss Aggie) most personal and self reflective film, SKIN FLICKS is the quintessential insider-looking-in exploration of the human side of the hardcore film production world. Co-starring Jamie Gillis (Waterpower), Colleen Anderson (More than Sisters), and Beth Anna (Sweet Savage) in memorable supporting roles, SKIN FLICKS is a haunting and at times startling examination of the emotional repercussions of the adult film world and comes to Blu-ray from Vinegar Syndrome, newly restored from the best surviving 35mm elements.
