Margaret (Anne Carlisle) is a fashion model with dreams of stardom, whose alter ego and rival, Jimmy (also Carlisle), abuses and takes advantage of her to satisfy his rampant drug addiction. Unknown to them, tiny, invisible aliens have landed on the roof above the squalor in which they live and begin killing anyone Margaret has sex with to feed on their pleasure giving neurotransmitters. All the while, a German scientist attempts to capture and study them.

Hailed by Time Magazine as 'a two hour act of imagination,' Slava Tsukerman's LIQUID SKY is an underground masterpiece of avant-garde science fiction filmmaking. Set against the visual majesty of New York's early 80s New Wave scene, and filled with arresting cinematography by Yuri Neyman, along with an acclaimed original soundtrack, Vinegar Syndrome proudly brings this quintessential midnight movie to Blu-ray, newly restored in 4k from its original 35mm camera negative.

Reviews

Liquid wallet

"From what I’ve read there is no upgrade for this cult film thats sounds and looks this good. Highly recommend on cult film forums"

John R. (5/5)

Classic Sci-Fi

"A unique and very original movie set in the 1980’s about an alien and its proclivity for focusing on sex but in an unusual way. Clearly low budget but beautifully shot and edited. Deserves a 4K transfer. Nice transfer by Vinegar Syndrome."

Carl L. (5/5)

Do it

"Could not get into this one for some reason even tho it has qualities that I usually love in films. I can appreciate the visuals and the creativity. Might give it a second change now that i know what i am getting into. A great release nonetheless."

Juhana A. (5/5)

One of VinSyn’s Best Releases

"So glad I finally got this! Beautiful restoration and awesome special features. It’s a cult favorite for a reason!"

Eli O. (5/5)

Crazy SciFi

"I don't remember why I wanted to buy this, but I'm glad I did. The movie is stylish, weird and grungy in a good way. The Sci-Fi elements work seamlessly with the drug elements. Didn't expect so much SA in the movie, but I realized it was needed to move the plot along."

"Fantastic 4k transfer of trippy cult classic"

Wade O. (5/5)

Strange sci fi

"You want weird poetry? You want aliens? You want insane costumes and no budget? Liquid Sky is queer as fuck and cheaper than your mom. Just have a good time."

William P. (5/5)

Great Obscure 80s Cult Classic

"I owned the movie when it was released in the 2000s as a no frills DVD, so this upgrade and special features are outstanding !!"

Dean P. (5/5)

Fantastic upgrade of a 80's classic.

"This movie was fantastic. The colors were very bright and the aesthetics were amazing. The transfer over to HD was a lot better then the previous version of this film. To be honest, before this transfer all I could find were really low quality downloads of this film. The overall order was great as well as it was shipped very securely in a lot of bubble wrap. Thanks Vinegar Syndrome!"
