A group of medical students have decided to spend the weekend helping their friend, Jerry, fix up the old foster home he's bought and is planning to reopen. Little do they know that, ten years ago, a terrible massacre occurred there which saw a number of young children brutally slaughtered. Things get off to an ominous start; when the group arrives, Jerry is nowhere to be found and a strange, raspy voice, coming from somewhere inside the house, warns the youngsters to leave. Not letting any of this spoil their plans, the friends set about cleaning (and pairing off for sex). But their fun is short lived when a track jacket wearing killer with ties to the property's gruesome past starts bumping them off one by one.
A low budget, high energy slasher/murder mystery which cheerfully embraces its low budget and trashy sensibilities, Dominick Brascia's (Hard Rock Nightmare) directorial debut EVIL LAUGH stars Ashlyn Gere (Lunchmeat, Dreamaniac), Johnny Venokur (Savage Streets), and Steven Baio (TV's Happy Days), who also produced and co-wrote. Made by a cast and crew who adored the horror genre and rendered all the more effective by a series of wild and horrific murders, Vinegar Syndrome is proud to present the world Blu-ray debut of EVIL LAUGH, featuring a new 2K restoration from extremely rare 16mm film elements along with a brand new, feature-length making-of documentary which tells the fascinating story of its production.

"Fun little slasher. Not the greatest or most memorable slasher ever, but definitely worth a watch and worth adding to your collection. . esp if you’re a true horror/slasher fan. Looks really good and the slipcover artwork is just awesome."
"A bad but still fun 80s slasher with a beautiful slipcover."
"Excellent packaging can’t wait to watch"
"Fun little horror comedy, not great but I can still recommend for those into low-budget 80s horror."
"Blind spot I’m glad I picked up"
"An excellent little regional slasher that makes up for its shortcomings with its charm and atmosphere."
"This is a little seen slasher whose gimmick is the killer laughs hysterically when he/she commits a murder. I was let down by this one, because inexplicably the killer quits laughing midway through the film thus nullifying its gimmick. The killer's get up is also absurd and generic as hell. Worth a watch, but I wouldn't expect a lot while viewing."
"An average entry in the slasher-comedy B genre. The acting and screenplay are lacking, yet still passable. I'm doubtful I will rewatch it in the future."
"Very enjoyable 80s slasher with great atmosphere and good kills. (But how did the killer get a microwave to work with its door open??!!). Grest slipcover and artwork."
"If you love slashers from this era, this is a must own. Dumb characters, great kills, fun twists."
