Details

This deluxe package features a beautiful mirror foil hardbox designed by artist Derek Gabryszak that holds a slipcover with a special feature loaded Blu-ray and a full color booklet. Limited to 5,000 units.

Noelle and Addie have just moved into a beautiful, though impossibly cheap, apartment on Manhattan’s prestigious Upper East Side. Not long after their arrival, Addie’s behavior drastically changes, as she begins to sleepwalk and speak in a strange child’s voice, much to the horror of her boyfriend Greg. Noelle, meanwhile, becomes intrigued by a mysterious young woman who inexplicably shows up at their apartment, who reveals that she believes the apartment was previously owned by infamous sex criminal and friend of government elites, Jeffrey Epstein. Determined to uncover the truth, Noelle joins the woman in her search; a journey which takes them deeper into the illicit and occult world of terrifying globalist conspiracies, where violence lurks at every turn.

With strong anti-establishment sensibilities, well executed social and political satire, plentiful sex and nudity, and a satisfyingly bleak and violent final act, writer/director/co-star Dasha Nekrasova’s THE SCARY OF SIXTY-FIRST is an unfiltered and wholly original, contemporary exploitation-horror film. Paying homage to 70s Euro-horror through its gel-heavy 16mm cinematography by Hunter Zimny and a throbbing score by Eli Keszler, Vinegar Syndrome Pictures is thrilled to present the worldwide home video debut of THE SCARY OF SIXTY-FIRST, in a special features loaded Blu-ray edition.

Reviews

This Doesn't Need To Exist

"I liked the look of the film. It uses a real person (I will not mention) to frame a horror story with some commentary. The picture feels dirty just like the person who hangs over this film. It uses his story and tells a movie about rabbit hole conspiracies and trauma. Probably a one time watch."

Nathan L. (3/5)

A Disturbing and Unpredictable Indie Horror Film

"The Scary of Sixty-First is a deliberately unsettling psychological horror film that feels chaotic in a very intentional way. The twist elements work best when you go in knowing as little as possible, because the film slowly shifts from awkward realism into something far more disturbing and paranoid. There’s a very personal touch to the filmmaking style. It feels raw, uncomfortable, and intentionally rough around the edges, which adds to the uneasy atmosphere rather than taking away from it. The performances and dialogue often feel naturalistic, making the stranger moments hit even harder. In my opinion, this is the kind of horror film that will really divide viewers. Some people will find it messy or abrasive, while others will appreciate how fearless and unconventional it is. Either way, it’s memorable and difficult to shake once it’s over. Overall, this is a bold indie horror film that stands out for its atmosphere, unpredictability, and willingness to take risks."

Bad filmmaker drags this down.

"Dasha can’t direct her way out of a paper bag."

The Scary of Sixty-First (Limited Edition Slipcase)

"Although I wasn't really a fan of the film & couldn't really decipher if it's an absurd joke or just stupid/deranged, I think it's still interesting as a sleazy piece of Jeffrey Epstein exploitation. But the main reason I picked it up is that the film is undeniably gorgeous with its 16mm cinematography, and I thought it was a shame that Shudder's streaming compression didn't do the image justice, so I couldn't pass up such a nice physical Blu-ray release!"

Time Capsule on a Conspiratorial Moment

"Movie: Wild to have this be literally about Jeffrey Epstein, explicitly mention Prince Andrew and "The Clinton Crime Family", but then *not* mention Trump even once. That aside, this movie is fascinating and really makes some _bold_ choices. Some of the spaghetti sticks while plenty of it doesn't, but there's definitely a lot to unpack about how some people processed a certain moment in time. It's also amusing how this movie has the fictitious persons disclaimer at the end, using it as basically a magic spell not that dissimilarly from some of the magic depicted in the movie. Extras: Multiple good little interviews, as well as an okay Q&A session (sometimes hard to hear the audience questions). Always nice to have the trailer. Packaging: A very fun box design, plus bonus points for having a reversible (innermost) cover."

Perplexing

"I thought the subject matter was fascinating. Theresa was a strong idea behind this movie. I found the special features very interesting. Dark subject matter."

Jeffrey L. (3/5)

As stupid as its title

"This is easily the worst movie I have seen in a past decade. Writing, acting, cinematography…it is all bad. And not good bad. To be clear, the 2 star is for the movie itself. The packaging is gorgeous and the film is given the VS physical media deluxe treatment. I just wish a better film would have gotten it…because this one does not deserve it."
