After arriving on VOD platforms last week, Vivarium, a new sci-fi thriller that imprisons Jesse Eisenberg (Zombieland) and Imogen Poots (Green Room, Black Christmas) in suburbia with a baby, is moving into DVD and Blu-ray on May 12th via Lionsgate Home Entertainment.
In Lorcan Finnegan’s feature that feels all too real right now, “A young couple, played by Poots and Eisenberg, are in search of a starter home. They follow a mysterious estate agent and find themselves trapped in a strange housing development with a baby and an accompanying note: “Raise the child and be released.”
Our very own Joe Lipsett reviewed the film out of this past summer’s Fantasia Fest in Montreal, writing that Vivarium “explores the darker side of the suburbs,” further adding that it’s “built on some pretty deep ideas about life goals, capitalism, gender roles and parenting.”
Extras include audio commentary with Finnegan and Executive Producer Brunella Cocchiglia, as well as a “Creating the Suburban Nightmare of Vivarium” featurette.
