When he was a young boy, Chris’s entire family was slaughtered during one of his father’s archaeology digs at a remote monastery, nestled deep in the mountains of Yugoslavia. His father’s assistant was arrested for the murders and consigned to a psychiatric hospital. Still plagued by nightmares about the incident as a man, Chris resolves to tackle his demons headfirst by returning to the monastery, where he hopes to complete his father’s quest of unearthing the tomb of Ilok - a torture-obsessed child prince who, legend has it, made a pact with an ancient Slavic demon for eternal life. But no sooner has the excavation gotten underway than Chris starts behaving erratically, becoming obsessed with locating the tomb and teetering ever closer to the brink of bloody madness… 

From Smart Egg Pictures, one of the key financiers behind the original A Nightmare On Elm Street (not to mention the production company responsible for 1985’s hair metal horror Blood Tracks), 1989’s PLAYROOM - released in some territories as Schizo - marks the directorial debut of Manny Coto (Dr. Giggles). Featuring a gloriously demented lead performance from Christopher McDonald (The Black Room, Happy Gilmore), alongside noted character actor Vincent Schiavelli (One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest), and culminating in some unexpected and hugely entertaining creature effects, Vinegar Syndrome is delighted to dust off PLAYROOM for its world disc debut, in a brand new 4K restoration from 35mm negative elements and accompanied by a host of newly-produced bonus features.
