Editor's Notes

Note

A-Tier Vinegar Syndrome 4K. The 1981 slasher, not to be confused with Madman Films the Australian distributor. Vinegar Syndrome gave it a proper release. Most of the signal around "Madman" in collector subs actually refers to the Madman Films Kurosawa box set, not this horror film.
