THE WORLDWIDE UHD PREMIERE
2 DISC COLLECTION
The award-winning debut feature by writer/director Brandon Cronenberg has been called “wild and creepy” (JoBlo), “smart and subversive” (Empire) and “hallucinatory body horror from the same plasma pool as VIDEODROME” (ScreenCrush). Now it can be experienced in UHD for the first time ever: Syd March (Caleb Landry Jones of Twin Peaks: The Return and GET OUT) is a top sales representative for The Lucas Clinic, which harvests exclusive infections from celebrities for injection into obsessed fans. But in a near future consumed by the possibilities of biological communion, will Syd himself pay a horrific price for the toxicity of fame? Sarah Gadon (COSMOPOLIS) and Malcolm McDowell co-star in this “new perversity from a new Cronenberg” (Salon), scanned in 4K from the 35mm protection internegative supervised by Brandon Cronenberg and cinematographer Karim Hussain (INFINITY POOL) with 3 hours of new and archival Special Features.
