The Bride's Initiation
"Nice to see Carol Conners in an early role in this wacky comedy-porn film. I'm glad I was able to order this Vinegar Syndrome release before it went OOP. Decent transfer"
Details
Sold Out / OOP
On the way to their honeymoon, a lusty young couple find themselves kidnapped by their chauffeur and taken to Dracula's secret layer, to be used in diabolical rites to keep the Count young and virile. When the abducted bride's parents turn to a local detective for help, the disbelieving cop realizes that he may indeed be facing a real life vampire in sunny Miami. Meanwhile Dracula has set his sights on an attractive young woman who he's determined to make into his bride.
A completely bonkers erotic horror-comedy, THE BRIDE'S INITIATION (which was shot as THE VAMPIRE but first released as DEMON'S BREW) was produced and directed by the mysterious Emilio Portici as 'Duncan Stewart.' Co-starring Carol Connors (EROTIC ADVENTURES OF CANDY) and her husband Jack Birch (father of Thora Birch) as Dracula's diabolical right hand man, Vinegar Syndrome brings this unclassifiable regional oddity to DVD, newly restored from 35mm vault elements.

Strange Regional Weirdness
"Classic early Vinegar Syndrome. It's difficult to say what the purpose of this is, as it's not really all that erotic (at least for the most part). It's pretty funny though and some of the acting is hilarious! If you enjoy weird stuff then you'll probably love this, but I believe it's now OOP."
Something weird
"This odd horror porn really seems like something you'd find on an AGFA release. The makeup and sets are pretty cheap, as is the talent on screen. The bride is very pretty, but unfortunately is sporting an obvious set of implants. Not something you expect in a 1973 low budget sleaze film. I did like the look of the other female performers, such as Dracula's minions. Ends with a weird punchline. This one is good if you're in the mood for something off kilter."
