Vinegar Syndrome’s sister company, OCN Distribution, is thrilled to be representing this diverse and unique home video line!
Mark’s wife has tragically passed away in a fatal automobile accident. After the funeral, his close friends agree to convene at his lakeside abode for the weekend to support their friend in his time of grief. Soon after arriving, the tumultuous relationships between the various couples begin to bubble to the surface and a mysterious tool-wielding, black-gloved killer begins butchering the visitors one by one. It’s The Big Chill meets Curtains in Savage Vows: one the quintessential ‘90s regional SOV slasher epics notable for its grisly, homespun practical gore FX, its pulsing synth score, and a smattering of scenes shot in the insanely stocked horror section of Full Moon Video, a regional mom and pop video store in Pennsylvania that was owned by the director at the time of production.
The sole directorial effort by frequent Polonia Brothers actor and collaborator Bob Dennis, Savage Vows is both a disquieting, neon analog nightmare and a singular (and strangely cozy) Polonia-adjacent hangout slasher. A backyard sprinkler of blood splattering madness featuring acting performance by pioneering SOV legend Mark Polonia (Splatter Farm, Feeders), director Bob Dennis (Bad Magic, Terror House), and prolific fetish model and performer Kelly Ashton, Saturn’s Core is proud to present Savage Vows on special edition Blu-Ray accompanied by new contextual featurettes and commentaries with the cast and crew.
