Genius Products and The Weinstein Company will be releasing the Viking/sci-fi/actioner Outlander on DVD on May 19th, reports IGN. The disc will include bonus features such as deleted scenes, commentary, visual effects tests, and more.
“In a story described by reviewers as Beowulf meets Predator,” the release for the DVD reads, “a spacecraft crash-lands in ancient Norway, bringing with it a bloodthirsty alien beast. As the creature ravages the Viking world, one soldier, the only surviving member of his clan, attempts to form an alliance with two warring Viking tribes, combining advanced technology with Iron Age weaponry to hunt the beast before it can destroy them all.”
The film stars Jim Caviezel (The Passion of the Christ), Sophia Myles (Underworld), Ron Perlman (Hellboy), and John Hurt (Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull). The Outlander DVD will retail for $19.97 and include the following bonus features:
-Deleted Scenes

Are you ready to go back?
After a record-breaking box office run and an extended cut re-release, A24 and director Kane Parsons’ Backrooms is heading home to Digital.
Backrooms will be available to rent or buy this Tuesday, July 14.
In the film, Chiwetel Ejiofor stars in Backrooms as the owner of Cap’n Clark’s Ottoman Empire, who discovers a strange doorway in the basement of the furniture showroom. He sets out to explore the mysterious, liminal space, walking headfirst into a creepypasta nightmare.
Renate Reinsve (A Different Man) also stars in Backrooms.
Will Soodik wrote the screenplay.
I wrote in my review, “Backrooms is at once complex and sparse, but never repetitive. It might be set in 1990, but it effectively captures modern anxieties and isolation in a way that frequently makes your skin crawl. While the journey ultimately loses steam by its cryptic end, Parsons’ visual representation of the human psyche disturbs like no other.”
YouTube prodigy Kane Parsons makes his feature directorial debut based on his creepypasta-inspired video series, which debuted in 2022 and has amassed over 190 million views to date.
