After making waves last year, Lars von Trier‘s The House That Jack Built is headed to Blu-ray here in the US courtesy of Scream Factory, and yes, we’re talking about the Director’s Cut!

The film will be hitting Blu-ray and DVD on February 4th.

“In five audacious episodes, failed architect and arch-sociopath Jack (Matt Dillon) recounts the elaborately orchestrated murders — each, as he views them, as a towering work of art — that define his “career” as a serial killer.”

“Mixing pitch-black humor, transcendent surrealism, and renegade musings on everything from history to architecture to cinema itself, von Trier fashions a radical, blazingly personal inquiry into violence, art, and the twin acts of creation and destruction.”

Uma Thurman, Bruno Ganz, and Riley Keough also star.

Rafael reviewed the film out of Sitges last October and explained that, “The nihilism of Lars von Trier’s darkly comedic The House That Jack Built rivals American Psycho.”

When best friends Glen (Stephen Dorff) and Terry (Louis Tripp) stumble across a mysterious crystalline rock in Glen’s backyard, they quickly dig up the newly sodden lawn searching for more precious stones.
