Lynn Lowry (Shivers, The Crazies, Score) and Mary Woronov (Death Race 2000, Eating Raoul) star in one of the most unique psychological thrillers of the 70s, Theodore Gershuny’s SUGAR COOKIES.
After the mysterious death of erotic film actress Alta (Lynn Lowry) while in the company of sleazy sex-film producer Max (George Shannon), her manipulative agent Camilla (Mary Woronov) begins searching for a ‘perfect replacement.’ After discovering a young, aspiring actress, Julie (also Lynn Lowry), Camilla and Max slowly groom her into a mirror image of Alta, but as Julie begins to become more aware of the sinister motives of her new caretakers, she also starts fearing for her own life.
Written and produced by Lloyd Kaufman (The Toxic Avenger), SUGAR COOKIES is a blisteringly erotic Hitchcockian thriller from New York’s outrageous underground film scene. Featuring Andy Warhol regular Ondine and Monique van Vooren (Flesh For Frankenstein), as well as an early appearance from sexploitation superstar Jennifer Welles, Vinegar Syndrome is proud to present this forgotten gem of early 70’s exploitation cinema newly restored in 4K from its original camera negative and on blu-ray for the very first time.

Scream Factory's "Summer of Fear" continues with their release of Antonia Bird's wonderfully dark horror comedy Ravenous. This is a great movie that I highly recommend if you haven't seen it before. Sadly, the transfer Scream was given for this release is pretty lacking, so don't expect the usual high quality A/V standards on this release, but it's still such an entertaining film I say it's still worth picking up, though I might recommend waiting for a sale, or coupon for this one.
It’s a recipe for nonstop action and excitement when the
inhabitants of an isolated military outpost go up against a marauding
band of cannibals in a deadly struggle for survival! Ever watchful of
the enemies who might literally tear them apart, the uneasy alliance of
soldiers must fight brutal elements of the Sierra Nevada wilderness: as
well as their own murderous instincts to stay alive. Directed by Antonia
Bird (Priest), this white-knuckle thriller stars Guy Pearce (Iron Man 3, Prometheus), Robert Carlyle (Once Upon A Time) and David Arquette (Scream 4).
