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.”

After scaring up a strong theatrical run, Oddity director Damian McCarthy’s Hokum heads home to Digital this week.
Settle in for a spooky supernatural chiller as Hokum arrives on all Digital platforms to rent or own beginning June 2, followed by a Blu-ray/4K Ultra HD Combo and DVD release on August 11, 2026.
Adam Scott (“Severance”) stars in Hokum as reclusive novelist Ohm Bauman. When he retreats to a remote Irish inn to scatter his parents’ ashes, the staff’s tales of an ancient witch haunting the honeymoon suite take hold of his mind. Disturbing visions and a shocking disappearance draw Ohm into a nightmarish confrontation with the darkest corners of his past.
Peter Coonan (“The Alienist: Angel of Darkness”), David Wilmot (“Station Eleven”), Florence Ordesh (“Departure”), Michael Patric (“Frontier”), Will O’Connell (“Game of Thrones”), Brendan Conroy (“Bodkin”), and Austin Amelio (“The Walking Dead”) also star.
Get a peek at the upcoming physical media release below, including a few special features.
Spooky Pictures’ Roy Lee (Weapons) & Steven Schneider (Insidious) produce alongside Image Nation’s Derek Dauchy (Late Night with the Devil), Tailored Film’s Ruth Treacy, Julianne Forde, & Mairtín de Barra, and Cweature Features’ Ken Kao & Josh Rosenbaum.
I wrote in my review for Bloody Disgusting, “A quaint Irish hotel with a deeply haunted history awaits an American writer in McCarthy’s third outing, continuing his streak for folkloric tales of supernatural karma and spine-tingling terror with a dark sense of humor.”
What’s next from Damian McCarthy? He’s currently writing a haunted house movie, but recent comments suggest he may be moving into other genres beyond that upcoming project.
