5.20 Blu-ray Release Date For 'It Follows':




Press Release: The critically acclaimed breakout movie of the year It Follows arrives on Blu-ray and DVD July 14th from Anchor Bay Entertainment, RADiUS, and DIMENSION. Dubbed “the best horror film in over a decade,” It Follows is directed by David Robert Mitchell (The Myth of the American Sleepover) and stars Maika Monroe (upcoming Independence Day 2, The Guest), Keir Gilchrist (It’s Kind of a Funny Story, “United States of Tara”), Daniel Zovatto (Beneath, Innocence, Laggies), and Jake Weary (Altitude, Fred).

One of the highest grossing independent films of the year so far, It Follows is credited with ushering in a new era of indie film success, appealing to horror genre fans, art house cinema aficionados, and the general movie-going audience. With spectacular cinematography and a powerful score, the film is destined to become a cult classic.

For 19-year-old Jay, fall should be about school, boys, and weekends out at the lake. But after a seemingly innocent sexual encounter, she finds herself plagued by strange visions and the inescapable sense that someone, or something, is following her. Jay and her teenage friends must now find a way to escape the horrors that seem to be only a few steps behind in this chiller that Bloody Disgusting calls “the scariest movie of 2015.”

The many special features on the Blu-ray and DVD include a critics’ commentary hosted by Nerdist’s Scott Weinberg and featuring Eric D. Snider (MovieBS), Britt Hayes (Screencrush), Samuel D. Zimmerman (Shock Till You Drop), Alison Nastasi (Flavorwire), and Eric Vespe (Ain’t It Cool News); the featurette “A Conversation with Film Composer Disasterpeace”; and a Poster Art Gallery.

It Follows is available on Blu-ray and DVD from Anchor Bay Entertainment on July 14, 2015, for the suggested retail price of $29.99 and $26.98, respectively, and also available On Demand. The title will be available early in Digital HD on July 3rd from Starz Digital...
