This listing is for the standard edition Blu-ray. The limited edition slipcover (designed by Adam Maida) was limited to 5,000 units and is sold out. The two versions are identical, aside from the slipcover.
On a dark and stormy night, Mother and Daughter, a wealthy pair of psychopathic killers with a penchant for murdering their servants, happen upon a badly injured man, laying dying in the mud. Bringing him back to their opulent villa, they begin nursing him back to health; naming him Singapore Sling in the process. As soon as he is "well" enough, the twisted duo begin subjecting him to every manner of torture imaginable. But as each of them develop their own unique interest in their mysterious victim, a perverse love triangle begins to unfold, leading to shocking revelations...
As staggeringly beautiful as it is notorious, Nikos Nikolaidis' acclaimed SINGAPORE SLING is a grotesque, sensual, and altogether unforgettable genre cinema gem from one of Greece's key arthouse auteurs. Distinguished by Aris Stavrou's intricately lit and immaculately composed black and white cinematography, Vinegar Syndrome is thrilled to present the U.S. Blu-ray debut of this mesmerizingly unsettling noir-fantastique, newly and exclusively restored for this release in 4K from its 35mm original negative and boasting an expansive selection of new and archival extras.

Reviews
Singapore Sling
"A kinky fever dream with crazy visuals, surreal style, and singularly unique. Perverted and disturbing but also funny? A cult gem but very gross and not for everyone."
— Andrew P. (5/5)
A Stunning Release of an Unforgettable Film
"Singapore Sling is a strange, dark, and visually stunning film that stays with you long after it ends. The black-and-white cinematography looks excellent in this release, with deep contrast and impressive detail. Vinegar Syndrome has treated this unique film with great care, offering a strong presentation and a generous selection of extras. An essential release for fans of challenging and unconventional cinema."
— Ioannis T. (5/5)
Bold movie
"I love it when cinema is bold, transgressive, and original, and this director certainly ticks all those boxes. It’s a sort of film noir, but with plenty of nudity, vomit, and incest. We are plunged deep into the world of a deranged mother and her equally unhinged, nymphomaniac daughter, who have made a habit of killing their employees. The story follows a man who becomes their slave out of necessity. The music and sound design are perfect, and visually, it is beautifully shot—even if the subject matter is sometimes downright revolting. It’s worth seeing, but I wouldn’t recommend it to the faint of heart. For the others, place your order immediately, and prepare yourself for a wild ride."
— Francis V. (5/5)

Singapore Sling is cursed (in the best way)
"This movie is insane - it feels cursed even being on my shelf. Meaning: A+! Extras are excellent, transfer gorgeous, the world needs movies like these."
— Graham S. (5/5)
grotesque and beautiful
"I saw this described as if someone had given Marquis de Sade a camera and said "have at it". I think that's apt. I didn't have any notions going in, but found this quite a bit of fun. You can read the short synopsis, but that doesn't really the viewing experience is like the first time. While I'm not generally a fan of b&w, I do have to admit the cinematography was gorgeous. The interviews are good, and so is the full length documentary on Nikolaidis. A very pleasing purchase, indeed."
— Adam C. (5/5)
Striking
"Striking cinematography and wild happenings."
— Matthew R. (5/5)
picked up on a sale

Arthouse shocker
"This one is a wild ride I first heard about on the Shocking Videos website 20+ years ago. A welcome upgrade from the Synapse dvd."
— Brian C. (5/5)
