Antlers - Blu-ray 
 

Sadly it doesn't look like this one will be getting a 4K UltraHD release on disc - or at least not here in the states. We'll keep an eye out if the import market gives us that option. The disc is expected to have a DTS-HD MA 5.1 audio mix and a nice collection of bonus features to go along with it. Check out our Theatrical Review if you haven't heard about this one yet. 

Pre-orders are not yet live, but when they are we'll update our listings pronto. 

And once again, thanks again for all of your pre-orders. They really do go a long way towards keeping our little operation alive and well.

The myth of the dreaded “wendigo” comes to shocking life in this terrifying horror thriller.
