Frankie and Crash run the most popular high school radio show in town, keeping the students buzzing with rock 'n' roll music and rebellious influences. But when Principal Borden decides the good times are rolling too freely, he brings in the mysterious Dr. Gunbow to implement a new Behavioral Modification Program. Almost immediately, the school's radio station is commandeered by agents of the program, and shortly thereafter, the students start displaying increasingly disturbing and zombie-like behavior while developing a newfound taste for violence against anyone who won't conform. Realizing that whatever is going on is forcibly changing their friends, Frankie and Crash take it upon themselves to find out what Dr. Gunbow is up to and the ultimate goal of his mind-bending conspiracy.

An over-the-top and zany sci-fi comedy oozing with mid-80s aesthetics, actress-turned-director Eugenie Joseph's (finishing director of Spookies) crackpot Canadian cult classic, MIND BENDERS stars Skip Lackey (Once Bitten), Lee Tergesen (TV's Oz, Weird Science) in his first on-screen role, along with veteran character actor Roy Thinnes (Airport, Rush Week). Produced by notorious New York exploitation filmmaker Jack Bravman (Snuff), Vinegar Syndrome Archive presents the worldwide Blu-ray debut of MIND BENDERS, newly scanned and restored from its 35mm original camera negative and featuring the first-ever on-camera interview with director Eugenie Joseph!
