Aneesh Chaganty’s Searching, which has quietly become one of 2018’s hottest genre films, has been playing in relatively limited release since August, and we’ve learned this week that it’s headed home before the end of the year.
Sony will release the DVD & Blu-ray on November 27.
The latest thriller that plays out across computer screens, like Unfriended, Searching stars John Cho as a father investigating the mysterious disappearance of his young daughter.
Critically, Searching is Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with an incredible 93% rating from the collected reviews of 176 critics. The audience score on Rotten Tomatoes is also incredibly high, currently at 89%. Many have been raving that it’s one of this year’s best and certainly one of the top “internet horror films,” with Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Baby Driver) even tweeting his praise last week. “I loved Searching. Fans of mysteries & thrillers should check it out. An ingenious use of the net, video, facetimes & texts combine to hypnotic effect on the big screen. And John Cho is brilliant in the lead,” Wright tweeted.
