THRILLER: A CRUEL PICTURE (THEY CALL HER ONE EYE, 1973) - Vinegar Syndrome, May 2022

[bruce holecheck]

“The movie that has no limits of evil!” Bo Arne Vibenius’ revenge classic THRILLER: A CRUEL PICTURE (aka They Call Her One Eye, 1973) gets an exclusive 4K restoration and UHD/Blu combo release from Vinegar Syndrome! Legendary Swedish sexpot Christina Lindberg stars as a mute girl who’s abducted and forced into prostitution, suffering multiple indignities—including having one of her eyes poked out—before she enacts a vengeance scenario against those responsible, a plan involving martial arts, a sawed-off shotgun and lots of blood spilled in slo-mo. A stylish and violent exploitation favorite, THRILLER gets a new lease on life via Vinegar Syndrome’s UHD world debut; the company has given the film a fresh 4K restoration from its original, uncensored 16mm A/B rolls, which have never been accessed previously for any other release. They are also currently working on a slate of exclusive interviews and extras to help tell the story behind this idiosyncratic endeavor. Street date is currently slated for May 2022 -- expect more details in the new year!

Other titles on Vinegar Syndrome's 2022 roster include Krishna Shah’s aptly-named HARD ROCK ZOMBIES (1985), Michael O'Rourke’s DIY slasher MOONSTALKER (1989), Alfonsia Brescia’s sci-fi sexploiter THE BEAST IN SPACE (1980), Stelvio Massi’s obscure giallo ARABELLA THE BLACK ANGEL (1989), Alberto Cavallone’s caveman gore spectacular MASTER OF THE WORLD (1983), a UHD for Mark Goldblatt’s zombie cop buddy comedy DEAD HEAT (1988), and so much more!
