Dark Dreams

Description

Jack and Jill have just been married and are on their way to enjoy their honeymoon when their car breaks down in the middle of nowhere. Spotting an eerie old house, the couple makes their way to the front door, only for a strange old woman to answer and invite them in. After giving them some tea, the unwitting couple find themselves transported into the strange, sensual, and terrifying world of Dark Dreams. A hallucinogenic, sex and horror filled cinematic 'trip’, DARK DREAMS was one of the earliest attempts at an erotic 'crossover' film and stars two of the biggest names, Tina Russell (Whatever Happened to Miss September) and Harry Reems (Deep Throat), along with supporting performances from Darby Lloyd Raines (Chorus Call) and Laura Cannon (Forced Entry).

The film walks this strange LSD fueled line You can tell Roger Guermantes was inspired by Rosemary's Baby witchcraft meets xxx (While it's easy to knock this film, why bother?) Mixing the two was and is a gimmick But, for this time it was very unique Trying to make a break out mainstream adult feature in 1971 was ambitious Vintage fans/collectors might want to check this out It's not for everyone but, a film like this deserves a second chance and to find a brand new audience Thanks to Vinegar Syndrome we are given a fully uncut and 2k print restoration that will impress any fan of cinema 8.5/10 Vinegar Syndrome Synopsis Since our inception in late 2012, we've dedicated ourselves to saving some of the most endangered, unexpected and unseen American genre films from the 1960's to the 1990's.Running Vinegar Syndrome is much more then simply discovering interesting films and releasing them on Blu-ray and DVD. Our facility serves as a massive (over 20,000 sq. ft.) climate-controlled film archive where we house negatives and prints for thousands of films, many of which would never have otherwise quite literally ended up in dumpsters or deteriorated beyond repair. Our in-house lab is equipped with state-of-the-art film scanning, digital restoration and color grading suites, which allows us complete control over our digital film preservation efforts. Additionally, in 2015 we launched our own distrubution company, which has allowed us both more control over our release schedule as well as the ability to better market and promote our titles. But, despite all of this, we are still a small company and we rely heavily on selling direct-to-consumers through VinegarSyndrome.com to cover a great deal of our operating costs. As such, by buying direct and "cutting out the middlemen', you are truly helping more films get saved, persevered, and released
