Stehen King’s ‘Thinner’ Shrinking To Blu-ray
Blu-ray will lose more than a few pounds this August.
In an early announcement to retailers, Olive Films has revealed Stephen King’s Thinner will be available on Blu-ray on August 21, says High Def Digest,
Based on the best-seller, ‘Stephen King’s Thinner’ stars Robert John Burke (‘Robocop 3’) and Joe Mantegna (‘House of Games’) in a story of supernatural terror and countdown to the ultimate payback. “A 109-year old gypsy (Michael Constantine, ‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding’), hell-bent on revenge, exacts a curse so shocking it compels its victim to gorge himself in an effort to avoid shrinking away to nothingness. With time running out and a torture so bizarre and powerful, even death seems a more likely option. Directed by Tom Holland (‘The Langoliers’).”
Specs and supplements have yet to be revealed, but suggested list price for the Blu-ray will be $29.95.
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.
