Amazon Lists the Director’s Cut of ‘Midsommar’ for UK Blu-ray Release in October
While Ari Aster‘s extended Director’s Cut of Midsommar was recently released in select theaters, the bummer is that it’s not actually scheduled to receive a psychical release here in the States. Aster’s follow-up to Hereditary is arriving on Digital and On Demand on September 24, and on Blu-ray Combo Pack (plus DVD and Digital) and DVD on October 8.
The Director’s Cut, however, will be exclusive to Apple TV here in the U.S.
But over in the UK, Amazon’s listing suggests, the Director’s Cut of Midsommar will be hitting Blu-ray! According to Amazon.co.uk, the UK Blu-ray is releasing on October 28.
In the States, of course, you’ll need a Region Free player in order to watch the disc.
Julieann Stipidis reviewed the 171-minute Director’s Cut for us, writing:
“After witnessing the more comprehensive version of Aster’s vision in this (nearly) three-hour film, I’m happy to say I prefer this cut in spades.”

Get ready for double the fun, protagonists, and body count when Ready or Not 2: Here I Come explodes on streaming next week.
Just in time for the fireworks, the sequel makes its streaming debut on Hulu and Disney+ on July 2.
Directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett are back, along with Samara Weaving, for more hide and slay mayhem.
Picking up moments after the all-out attack from the Le Domas family in the first Ready or Not movie, Grace (Weaving) discovers she’s reached the next level of the nightmarish game — and this time with her estranged sister Faith (Kathryn Newton) at her side. Grace has one chance to survive, keep her sister alive, and claim the High Seat of the Council that controls the world. Four rival families are hunting her for the throne, and whoever wins rules it all.
That means a higher body count and even more explosive carnage. Just how much? A whopping 325 gallons worth, the directors previously told BD.
Sarah Michelle Gellar, Shawn Hatosy, Néstor Carbonell, David Cronenberg, Elijah Wood, Kevin Durand, Olivia Cheng, Varun Saranga, and Daniel Beirne also star.
I wrote in my review for Bloody Disgusting, “More is more in Ready or Not 2. Bigger stakes, larger playing field, a higher (and more gruesome) body count, and even double the protagonists. It’s all designed to deliver maximum crowd-pleasing fun.”
The horror-comedy sequel is written by Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy.
