JAMES HONG'S HORROR ODDITY MAKES ITS WAY TO BLU-RAY WITH A NEW 4K RESTORATION AND SPECIAL FEATURES!

James Hong is probably one of the most prolific actors of all time, so imagine my surprise when I discovered that he co-directed THE VINEYARD, which he also wrote and starred in! To be quite honest, I've never seen this film (though at one point I did own it on VHS), but I am damned curious enough to pick up a copy of Vinegar Syndrome's Blu-ray/DVD combo to check it out!

Synopsis: The wines created by Dr. Elson Po have been known for decades as among the finest in the world, but unknown to the public, Po has been using his vintning and chemistry skills as a front for a much more sinister purpose; harvesting fresh blood from his youthful victims to produce an elixir designed to keep him young forever. Unfortunately, his special potion seems to be weakening in its strength and Po finds himself in need of fresh bodies.

Deciding to use his connections to the film industry, he presents himself as a potential film investor and invites a group of attractive young actors and models to his secluded island mansion, with the intent of harvesting their life sustaining properties. When they arrive, Po becomes convinced that statuesque beauty, Jezebel, might be the ideal candidate from which more elixir can be created and sends his henchmen out with the task of violently killing off her friends.
