Vinegar Syndrome has announced and unleashed their March 2023 lineup today, with several new releases up for pre-order now including Freeway II and Primal Rage on 4K Uhd!
The company previews, “This month we’re proud to offer two (!) world Uhd debuts, kicking off with Matthew Bright’s somehow even wilder and sleazier in-name-only sequel, Freeway II: Confessions Of A Trickbaby (1999), which upgrades this deliriously perverse take on Hansel & Gretel to 4K, and comes loaded with hours of new and archival extras.
“Also fresh to Uhd, and restored for the very first time on video (in any format) from its 35mm original camera negative, Vittorio Rambaldi’s interspecies viral sci-fi/horror oddity, Primal Rage (1988). Enjoy Oscar winning effects maestro Carlo Rambaldi’s splashy death set pieces in clarity never before imagined, along with a whole slate of exciting new extras.

Special effects artist known for Et and the monster in Alien
If one asked filmgoers what they immediately visualise at the mention of Ridley Scott's Alien (1979) and Steven Spielberg's Et: The Extra-Terrestrial (1982), the majority would most likely name the creatures in the title roles – disgustingly malevolent in the former, and ugly but cuddly in the latter.
