’47 Meters Down’ Dives onto Blu-ray
Discover the terrifying dangers lurking under the surface when 47 Meters Down (here’s my positive review of the film) swims its way onto Digital HD on September 12 and Blu-ray Combo Pack (plus DVD and Digital HD), DVD and On Demand September 26.
Stuck 47 meters below the ocean surface, Claire Holt (“The Originals”) stars alongside Mandy Moore (“This is Us”) in this must-see underwater thriller. Holt and Moore are joined by star Matthew Modine (The Dark Knight Rises) in this gripping race against time.
“Sisters Lisa (Mandy Moore) and Kate (Claire Holt) become trapped at the bottom of the ocean when a diving expedition to observe sharks goes horribly wrong. When the cable attaching the cage sinks to the bottom of the ocean, the sisters must figure out a way to get back to safety battling injuries, lack of oxygen, and worst of all, bloodthirsty, great white sharks.”
The film was directed by Johannes Roberts, who also helmed the forthcoming Strangers.
“47 Meters Down is full of bite, and is vicious enough for the hardcore horror audience, while also providing an immense amount of thrills for everyone else,” I wrote in my review.
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.
