Bill Crafton is enjoying a quiet vacation at a remote cabin with his daughter Julie when, all of a sudden, a giant, Bigfoot-like creature bursts in, killing Julie and dragging her body off into the woods. A few months later, young Jack Bergman - the nephew of the cabin’s owner - arrives with his friends, under the guise of a fun-filled few days in the wilderness. However, when they find the place ransacked, Jack is forced to reveal the true purpose of the trip — to investigate the recent disappearance of his uncle Clem, amidst reports of other strange goings-on in the area. Sure enough, when night falls, Bigfoot reappears and attacks the group, dragging two of them away. As dawn breaks, Jack and the rest of his friends prepare to hunt the beast and unknowingly set off on a journey of bloody, otherworldly terror.
Based on an original story by John Carl Buechler - prolific special effects artist and director of Troll and Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood - and helmed by Emmett Alston (New Year’s Evil), DEMONWARP is a delirious late 80s creature feature which throws in everything and the kitchen sink, from hulking Sasquatches, ghoulish zombies, bloody sacrifices and monstrous alien overlords. Featuring Academy Award-winner George Kennedy (Cool Hand Luke, Just Before Dawn, Uninvited) and packed full of gratuitous nudity and head-ripping action, Vinegar Syndrome is thrilled to unveil DEMONWARP on UHD for the very first time, restored in 4K from its original camera negative and loaded with a wealth of newly-produced bonus features.

"This movie is campy in all the right ways and takes some pretty wild turns even the most experienced movie nerd probably won’t see coming. The quality of this release is also stunning! which we’ve all grown to expect from the folks at vinegar syndrome but still absolutely worth mentioning in a review hahaha very happy with my purchase 🤘🏼👹🤘🏼"
"I haven't seen this movie since I was a teenager and it brought back so many friggin memories. I couldn't believe my eyes! Seeing it in HD was like watching the movie all over again for the first time. What a crazy, all over the place film! this movie goes to every place you can think of Zombies, Aliens, Bigfoot, Gore & Michelle Bauer what else could you ask for?"
"An absolutely brilliant release by Vinegar Syndrome. Having watched this in VHS-quality for so many years it was an amazing experience watching this in 4K! I wrote an article about the movie for The Dark Side magazine back in 2024, where I mention that fans of how-the-heck-did-this-get-made cinema will keep discovering and enjoying this movie, and thanks to this release that statement has never been more true!"
"Demonwarp is an ultra campy example of schlock cinema. The movie is an 80s oddity that’s both hilarious and gross. I’m happy to add this title to the collection. I would definitely recommend grabbing it on 4k."
"This movie is super schlock but is a lot of fun and this release looks beautiful, the picture and the cover art. Its a certified B-Movie classic. Can't recommend this release enough. This is the kind of movie that I wish was on MST3K back in the day."
"I wasn’t expecting to be quite this impressed by this cult classic flick. The transfer is beautifully balanced, retaining the character of the original film while offering a level of clarity I’ve never experienced before. An outstanding effort."
"Some exemplary make-up work by the king - John Carl Buechler - and a trippy final reel lift this shakily paced monster movie"
"Absolutely fantastic movie with a spectacular release by Vinegar Syndrome the title alone got my foot in the door not to mention the beautiful slip cover, but once I played this movie, I was blown away at how great it was. Sure the effects are cheesy, but that’s part of the charming aspect of this low budget classic"
"Glad to finally see this delight, and in 4K looking like a million bucks no less! Try to go in as blind as possible, this one goes on some great weird directions. Just wish it had more Azdrath."
"For my birthday, I forced my friends to sit through Demonwarp, and somehow it ended up being a pretty decent watch. It’s a bizarre mix of horror, sci-fi, and pure VHS-era weirdness that never goes where you expect it to. None of my friends left during the screening either, so that has to count for something. It’s far from a horror masterpiece, but it keeps things moving and there’s always something strange or ridiculous around the corner. What surprised me most was the soundtrack, which is solid and adds a lot to the atmosphere. As usual, Vinegar Syndrome did a fantastic job with the 4K release. The transfer looks great, the packaging is excellent, and it’s exactly the kind of cult oddity that deserves this level of care. A weird, fun, and memorable birthday watch."
