Igor and the Lunatics

A group of cultists led by the maniacal Paul spend their days in a haze of psychedelic-fueled free love whilst their vicious leader dishes out bloody and brutal vengeance on anyone who attempts to leave the fold - aided by his crazed and thoroughly sadistic right-hand man, Igor, who has a particular fondness for carving up nubile young women with his trusty collection of sharp implements. After being incarcerated for several years for a spate of grim slayings, Paul is released back into society and, reunited with his murderous devotees, immediately sets about continuing his gruesome cult activities.

Financed by the legendary Troma Entertainment, who ended up requiring extensive reshoots in order to up the movie’s gore quotient (with these additional sequences being helmed by Spookies directors Thomas Doran and Brendan Faulkner), IGOR AND THE LUNATICS is a demented, depraved, and thoroughly distasteful Manson Family-esque shocker from the studio that Toxie built. Now newly restored in 4K from its original 16mm camera negative, Vinegar Syndrome Archive is delighted to present IGOR AND THE LUNATICS in both its original release version, alongside the home video debut of its longer Bloodshed cut, as well as a brand new making-of documentary digging into the behind-the-scenes of this sickening cult favorite.
