Lynn Lowry (Shivers, The Crazies, Score) and Mary Woronov (Death Race 2000, Eating Raoul) star in one of the most unique psychological thrillers of the 70s, Theodore Gershuny's SUGAR COOKIES.
After the mysterious death of erotic film actress Alta (Lynn Lowry) while in the company of sleazy sex-film producer Max (George Shannon), her manipulative agent Camilla (Mary Woronov) begins searching for a 'perfect replacement'. After discovering a young, aspiring actress, Julie (also Lynn Lowry), Camilla and Max slowly groom her into a mirror image of Alta, but as Julie begins to become more aware of the sinister motives of her new caretakers, she also starts fearing for her own life.
Written and produced by Lloyd Kaufman (The Toxic Avenger), SUGAR COOKIES is a blisteringly erotic Hitchcockian thriller from New York's outrageous underground film scene. Featuring Andy Warhol regular Ondine and Monique Van Vooren (Flesh For Frankenstein), as well as an early appearance from sexploitation superstar Jennifer Welles, Vinegar Syndrome is proud to present this forgotten gem of early 70's exploitation cinema newly restored in 4K from its original camera negative and on blu-ray for the very first time.

"Sugar Cookies is a very cool slice of early 70s New York exploitation: sleazy, psychological, and stylish in that off-kilter way. Lynn Lowry and Mary Woronov are the big draw, and the whole thing has a strange underground atmosphere that makes it stand apart from more routine thrillers. The 4K restoration and interviews are exactly what I want from a VS release like this. Weird, polished, and a little nasty in the best way."
"A FUN SEXPLIOTATION DRAMA/THRILLER. FIRST X-RATED THRILLER FROM TROMA! GREAT VIDEO & SOUND QUALITY. FUN INDIE ART REMAKE OF AN OLD CLASSIC!"
"To me, this is the type of film that VS is all about. Something that is practically unheard-of, but still has good performances and visuals, and straddles a weird balance between being an art-house indie and a bad porno. Worth seeing, because it at least feels like nothing else."
"Damn I really liked this grimy 70s flick more than I thought I would great New York atmosphere Kaufman did a good job with this one"
"Pretty great movie, Mary Woronov and Lynn Lowry both are excellent. Unusual and arty for a Troma."
"One of the first VS I ever saw and still one of the most memorable."
"Top quality transfer that lets the visuals shine in this grindhouse gem,"
"Lynn Lowery is such a gem. This is the best I’ve ever seen Mary Woronov too. The visuals in this are immaculate because people used to make movies with real sets and people."
"This is a great title to own. Perhaps the satisfaction levels here will vary, but for me, I expected more. I always hear people say good things about this. So perhaps Iry it before you buy it."
"Decent viewing and performances. Nice artwork."
