Twisted Thriller ‘Lady Macbeth’ Comes to Digital HD and DVD this October
Lionsgate has announced that Lady Macbeth will be coming to home video this October. The film will first be available via Digital HD on October 3rd with a DVD release to follow two weeks later on October 17th. Sadly, the film doesn’t appear to be getting a Blu-ray release, at least not as of yet.
I was fortunate enough to catch Lady Macbeth at the Overlook Film Festival in Oregon earlier this year and it was one of the coldest and unsettling thrillers I had seen in some time. The film takes place in rural England in 1865 and it follows Katherine (Florence Pugh) who was recently forced into a marriage with a man nearly twice her age. The marriage is loveless and Katherine is basically his property. When her husband leaves for few weeks for work, however, Katherine does have an entire estate at her control. During this time she starts a passionate affair with a young worker and then that’s when things get a little crazy. Picture Brian De Palma directing a movie that takes place in 19th century England.
It’s a bummer and quite frankly surprising that the film isn’t getting a Blu-ray release. It’s one of the year’s best so far and an absolutely stunning debut from director William Oldroyd. Hopefully, a Blu-ray release will come further down the road because this is one movie that is definitely deserving.
DVD and Digital HD bonus features include a photo gallery and a behind-the-scene featurette.
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.
