Jane Hardy, a recently divorced teacher from San Francisco, decides to spend the summer at the large old country home willed to her by her aunt. However, upon arriving in the sleepy town where her aunt lived, she's met with hostility from the locals and slowly begins to discover her aunt's dark connections to witchcraft and the occult, all the while being menaced by a large black hearse that mysteriously drives near her house in the dead of night....
A chilling blend of supernatural horror and romantic mystery, THE HEARSE stars Trish Van Devere (THE CHANGELING), Joseph Cotten (SHADOW OF A DOUBT), and David Geautreaux (STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE) and was one of the few directorial efforts from prolific editor, George Bowers. Taking strong influence from European gothic horror films of the 1960s, THE HEARSE is a haunting and suspenseful, classically minded horror film and is proudly presented by Vinegar Syndrome on Blu-ray, newly restored in 2k from its original 35mm negative.

"Awesome slipcover. Interesting movie"
"The Hearse has a made for TV feel about it and never really picks up speed. That said, it's somewhat atmospheric and looks good on blu-ray."
"I love the way this film looks and I overall Enjoyed it. Gets a little slow in some spots but it’s worth watching for sure. One of VS’s early gems. Beautiful slipcover even if you get the repo like I did."
"Okay film"
"Underrated movie from 1980 with some awesome atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out if you haven’t seen it. Awesome slip art!"
"The labour day sale of OOP let me fill this gap in my collection… been wanting this one for a while."
"Looks great nice bonus features"
"Great release with nice slipcover."
"Fun gothic film featuring everybody's favorite car. You probably would not suspect it to deal with witchcraft based on the cover but it delivers."
