Presented in partnership with Something Weird Video...
The American Genre Film Archive (AGFA) represents the world's largest theatrical catalog of exploitation cinema. Their home video line presents a diverse selection of movies, ranging from new preservations of classics from the vast library of Something Weird to the wildest in shot-on-video (SOV) titles. Vinegar Syndrome’s sister company, OCN Distribution, is thrilled to be representing this diverse and unique home video line!
A double dose of psychotropic anti-time capsules from producer David F. Friedman (Blood Feast) and director Byron Mabe (She Freak)! Billed as "the first Hollywood underground film," The Acid Eaters tells the mind-expanding story of a group of working class swingers (including Pat Barrington, Orgy of the Dead) who drop acid and melt into sex, knife fights, and a literal trip to hell. Then it's time to blast-off with Space Thing, a warped homage to 1960s sci-fi and pulp fiction that follows Col. James Granilla as he hops a flying saucer and enjoys close encounters of every kind with a crew of "space dolls." AGFA and Something Weird are overjoyed to bring these campy Friedman gems to Blu-ray for the first time—"in psychedelic color" and newly restored from their original 35mm camera negatives.
