A GUN FOR JENNIFER is part of our Vinegar Syndrome Archive collection, celebrating forgotten cinematic oddities from the video store era. This collection was inspired by our own brick & mortar video stores, with locations in Bridgeport, CT; Aurora, CO and Toronto, ON!
Unique to this line, each hand numbered limited edition release will come fitted in a specially designed, bottom loading VHS inspired slipcase, while also including a double-sided poster.
These releases will ONLY be available on our website and at participating indie retailers. Absolutely no major retailers will be stocking them. This slipcase edition (designed by Corinne Halbert) is strictly limited to 5,000 units and may (but probably not) be followed by a standard edition in the future.

A young woman from Ohio fleeing an abusive marriage has just arrived in New York when she’s attacked and nearly raped by a pair of thugs. At the last second, she’s rescued by a gang of armed women who leap from a van, shooting one of the attackers dead and compelling the would-be victim to pull the trigger on the other. With nowhere else to turn, the young woman - who calls herself Jennifer - is quickly inducted into the gang, which has been targeting male sex offenders, leaving a trail of castrated cadavers across the city. As the cops start to realize that they have a vigilante squad on their hands, and the gang decides to set its sights on higher-profile targets, Jennifer must decide which side of the law she wants to end up on.
Shot almost entirely on location in Manhattan in the mid-90s, providing a snapshot of a gritty and grimy New York long-since disappeared, A GUN FOR JENNIFER - co-written, produced by and starring Deborah Twiss and co-written/directed by Todd Morris - is a brutal and bloody female revenge anthem in the tradition of Ms. 45 and I Spit on Your Grave, culminating in a balls-to-the-wall shootout to rival anything seen in The Wild Bunch. A sensation at the 1997 Fantasia Film Festival but criminally underseen in the intervening years, Vinegar Syndrome is proud to unearth A GUN FOR JENNIFER on Blu-ray in a brand new 2K restoration from the original 16mm negative, accompanied by a revelatory new documentary telling the fascinating story of this gonzo production.

"A Gun for Jennifer is a raw blast of '90s exploitation cinema that pairs grimy New York atmosphere with an uncompromising revenge story and punk-rock attitude. The low-budget filmmaking only adds to its authenticity, while Vinegar Syndrome's impressive 2K restoration and substantial extras finally give this overlooked cult shocker the premium release it has always deserved."
"Late 90s action revenge thriller flick Overall very cool and wel made with tons of nice sequences and locations"
"While the new artworks is………. not great, this is still a really solid release with special features, a poster, and a booklet with an essay in it. Really good stuff, recommend picking up for a good price."
"Great release of an overlooked revenge thriller. Quality packaging"
"This is the kind of release I live from VS. This great revenge film wasn't on my radar until this release. Really great one. VSA slipcover are so cool."
"It activates that ugly, satisfying revenge impulse without pretending to be respectable about it."
"This is another great hidden gem. I love the slipcover design too."
"Awesome, grungy, grimy 90s movie. Excellent release."
"Interesting artwork, lovely release"
"I would only recommend this one as a budget title. Not worth owning my opinion, but if you are a collector of VSAs, I'd say grab it before it's too late"
