Synopsis:
Genie has come to Alexandria, Egypt to spend some time with her father, Dr. Matteson, a devout Christian archaeologist who’s working on an important dig in the area. While naively wandering one day through a market, Genie is attacked by a group of men and is only narrowly saved from being assaulted when an onlooker, the sultry and mysterious Sabina, steps in. Sabina quickly takes the young woman under her wing, leading her deep into the strange, hedonistic underbelly of Alexandrian nightlife. She soon leads Genie to the enigmatic Paul Chevalier, a descendant of the infamous French libertine Marquis de Sade, of whose sexually perverse writings Sabina is an avid devotee. With Dr. Matteson occupied with his work away at the site, Genie finds herself falling further and further under Sabina’s hypnotic spell, unaware of her true nefarious intentions.
A criminally underseen later work from master of horror Tobe Hooper (The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Poltergeist), 1993’s NIGHT TERRORS (aka Tobe Hooper's Nightmare) sees the legendary director reunited with his Eaten Alive stars Robert Englund (A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Mangler) and William Finley (Sisters, The Phantom of the Paradise), with the former turning in an incredible dual performance as Paul Chevalier and the Marquis de Sade himself in a series of atmospheric flashbacks. Packed full of erotic scenes, surreal visuals, and sadomasochistic set pieces, Vinegar Syndrome is thrilled to present this too-long-neglected opus from one of the horror genre’s most revered craftsmen, painstakingly restored in 4K for its disc debut and served up with lashings of newly-produced bonus features.
