THE WORLDWIDE UHD PREMIERE

The award-winning 2011 breakthrough film from writer/director Ben Wheatley (A FIELD IN ENGLAND, IN THE EARTH) has been called “dark and disturbing” (Empire), “creepy and very funny” (Austin Chronicle) and “furious, shockingly violent and sensational” (Time Out London). It will now blow you away like never before in UHD for the first time ever: When an on-edge family man and unemployed contract killer (Neil Maskell of Hijack and BULL) accepts a new assignment of 3 separate targets, the list will drag him to the edge of madness and plunge him into the depths of Hell.

Very nice. I actually saw this for the first time a couple of months ago. Great film.

[MovieBuff647]

Has Severin's encoding drastically improved? If not, any chance of a UK label (possibly Second Sight?) releasing this?

[TheNickSweat]

I'm stupid excited for this. Hell of an ending!

So a filmout, yes?

[mattaaron2112]

Very, very exciting. This movie absolutely rips.

One of my all time favorites. Used to own the shoddy MPI blu-ray then it bronzed over on me when I wanted to rewatch it some time ago. I wanted to get the Studio Canal UK steelbook a number of times but I just never did. So I’ll be getting this and thoroughly enjoying it all over again. Makes me grin from ear to ear knowing I’ll have it in my collection once again.

[OnlyJapantown]

Love watching this one with the family at Christmas time, really raises the spirits.

[HundredYearLurker]

Great flick, I have the Studio Canal BD/DVD combo and have watched it multiple times. If you can, go in cold. Even if you should come to learn the specific horror sub-genre this inhabits, it would kinda be a spoiler.

Tempted to get this on release and seems doubtful that the likes of Second Sight, BFI or Arrow have rights, but does anyone think we'll see a better option down the road?

[Losey]

This and Sightseers remain my favorite of his. D1.

Wondering if a US Blu-Ray release of the latter is finally on the way too, likely from Severin or Vinegar Syndrome.

[sanjuro78]

This movie is really good! It is very dark and grim but not in an annoying "try hard" way. Am I the only one that thinks Season 1 of "True Detective" was more than a little influenced by this?

[Gacivory]

Like the artwork and excited for this release!would be more excited if I didn’t just get the Blu.

[bergman864]

This is a solid flick. Great announcement.

I always thought there were similar motifs and vibe, for sure.

[Rusty100]

let's ****ing go. this movie rocks, it has such an effective sense of dread

[graftyjack1]

Amazing movie. Still my favorite Wheatley by far (though Free Fire rules too, and I thought In the Earth was fantastic.)

Edit: I completely forgot about Sightseers, I still need to see that one. I'd love a US Blu of it too.

[roscoe88]

What, no Meg 2 fans?

This film is definitely an experience. Haven’t seen it in awhile. It will be what I get from the Severin summer sale, very happy with this announcement. I love it when they include archival commentary.

[TheNickSweat]

I've never actually bought a Severin release now that I'm thinking about it. It says their Summer sale starts July 25th. Should I expect this to go up for preorder then? Do their releases tend to sell out quickly?

[dallywhitty]

To think we almost got a Ben Wheatley Tomb Raider sequel.
