Details

This special limited edition spot gloss slipcover (designed by Adam Maida) is limited to 5,000 units and is only available on our website and at select indie retailers. Absolutely no major retailers will be stocking them.

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.
