Promotional Material

Possibly the most infamous entry into the Nazisploitation genre, Sergio Garrone's SS Experiment Camp is a harrowing and deliberately triggering experience which, even by today's standards is as powerful as it was when originally released in 1976. From its provocative, tabloid baiting original poster of a naked woman dangling crucified and naked, the movie pushed the boundaries as far as it could. Set during the tail-end of World War II we follow the deranged experiments performed on innocent prisoners of war by the utterly sadistic and evil Colonel von Kleiben in his attempt to create the perfect Aryan race. Shocking, notorious and endlessly exploitative, the movie continues to disgust audiences all over the globe nearly 50 years after its initial release.

Promotional Material

From out the seething heat of the endless desert comes the nameless man (Robert John Burke, RoboCop 3, Thinner), his worn-down boot-heels tapping across the hard-baked earth. His old and ruthless spirit has smelled the town dying from afar and he has come to collect the souls to build his power. Soon the wasteland is littered with burned and disfigured remains and Ben Mukurob (Zakes Mokae, The Serpent and the Rainbow), the last policeman in the small town of Bethany, is faced with a mystery that threatens his eternal soul. Into this maelstrom of horror comes Wendy (Chelsea Field, Masters of the Universe), a young woman on the run from a broken marriage. Her flight has led her into the desert and perhaps into the arms of the Devil Himself. Filmmaking visionary Richard Stanley (director of the seminal cyberpunk shocker Hardware) has conjured a mystical mélange of windswept Spaghetti Western and hallucinatory horror/fantasy, spectacularly filmed on location in the Great Namib Desert of Africa.

Promotional Material

*This listing is for the standard edition version and does NOT come with a limited edition slipcase!*

Vinegar Syndrome specializes in the masterful restoration and distribution of cult, horror, and erotic films from the 1960s-90s.

"There's nothing more despicable than a bent policeman." In a less-than-swinging area of London, the grizzled Detective Sgt. Pierce is obsessed with taking down a local kingpin, Quince, who is an expert at evading arrest, as he was once a policeman himself. Meanwhile, PC Strange is a new beat cop, fresh and idealistic about serving the public good, who meets a hippie girl named Frederika while quieting a street scuffle. Frederika takes an interest in Strange, who is quickly learning the harder realities of police life. When Strange gets trapped in a budding scandal, it's Pierce who convinces Strange he can save him, but only if Strange helps bend the law to entrap Quince.

An early feature from prolific telefilm director David Greene (I Start Counting; Rich Man, Poor Man), THE STRANGE AFFAIR combines the grit of US police drama with English working-class culture, delivering a strong update to the form with its multiple storylines and cynical eye on both pop culture and bureaucracy. Featuring powerful performances from Michael York (Austin Powers, Murder on the Orient Express), Susan George (Straw Dogs, Tintorera), and Jeremy Kemp (Top Secret!, Dr. Terror's House of Horrors), it also boasts a stunning soundtrack by experimental composer Basil Kirchin (The Abominable Dr. Phibes) and photography from Alex Thomson (The Keep). Vinegar Syndrome Labs is proud to offer the disc debut of this police thriller, newly restored in 4K from its original Techniscope negative.
