David Cronenberg‘s new body horror movie Crimes of the Future is now available at home via Digital, but what about a physical media release? It’s coming to Blu-ray this summer!

Distribution Solutions, a division of Alliance Entertainment, announces the release of NEON and DECAL’s Crimes of the Future, coming to Blu-ray™ and DVD August 9, 2022.

You can pre-order your copy from Amazon today.

In Crimes of the Future, “A performance artist – who turns the removal of organs into real time theatre – is forced to consider the most shocking performance of all as the government and a strange subculture take note of his act.”

Written and directed by David Cronenberg (The Fly, A History of Violence), the film is his directorial return to the science fiction and horror genres for the first time since the 1990s. Cronenberg pioneered the “body horror” genre involving mutation, parasites, and medical conditions.

The film was recently in 500+ theaters and stars Best Actor Academy Award nominated Viggo Mortensen (The Lord of the Rings, A History of Violence), Best Actress Academy Award nominated Kristen Stewart (Spencer, The Twilight Saga), Léa Seydoux (No Time to Die, The French Dispatch), and Scott Speedman (Grey’s Anatomy, Felicity).

Writer in the horror community since 2008. Editor in Chief of Bloody Disgusting. Owns Eli Roth's prop corpse from Piranha 3D. Has four awesome cats. Still plays with toys.

Dev Patel’s ‘Monkey Man’ Is Now Available to Watch at Home!

After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.

You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!

Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.

Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”

“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.

She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”

Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.

Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
