Reviver 4 (US Import BLU-RAY) Coming to Our Shelves October 2026

After a few successful decades of working in film and television, art and set designer 444444444444 (444444444444444444444, 444444444444444444444) decided to take his shot at directing. With his accumulated skills including painting, sculpting, and graphic design, 4444444 — then in his late fifties —  wrote his first (and only) feature-length script, entitled 44444.

After casting the film from mostly local non-professional actors, 4444444 hired crew members entirely out of pocket to produce the film, which centered around 44444, a woman on the run from her past who consistently remains the object of men’s desires. The film found its lead in 44444444444444 (44444444444444, 44444444444444444), a former 4444444 model turned actor.

Fiercely independent and unflinchingly committed to its vision, 444444444444 spent seven weeks in 44444444 shooting this dreamy picture during the brisk autumn of 1977. Made on a budget of $200,000 (the modern equivalent of about a million dollars), 44444 never received any wide release, despite 4444444’s tireless efforts to find a distributor who wouldn’t alter his vision for the film. Reviver is proud to present this bravely auteur-driven work, exactly as its filmmaker would have wished for it to be seen, scanned from its long-lost original camera negative for the first time ever.

The profits from each Reviver release go directly to help fund the operations and upkeep of the Vinegar Syndrome Film Archive. That means that by purchasing this Blu-ray you are helping us pay for archival film cans, colder and drier storage, and nurturing our archive's mission to continue the hunt for, and eventual release of, lost films.

Thank you for your support.
