THE BLOCK ISLAND SOUND (2020) Comes to UHD + Blu This December!

THE BLOCK ISLAND SOUND (2020) 

The McManus Brothers’ Netflix Ecological horror stunner THE BLOCK ISLAND SOUND makes its worldwide Blu-ray and 4K UHD debut this December from Synapse Films with exciting special features!

"The Block Island Sound is a modern horror masterpiece." - Elena Conforti, CBR.COM

"A terrifying story of grief and madness." - Michelle Swope, Dread Central

Official Selection - 2020 Fantasia Film Festival

Something terrifying is happening off the coast of Block Island. A strange force is thriving, influencing residents and wildlife alike. Birds are dropping out of the sky and fish are mysteriously washing up on shore. As some residents are suffering from inexplicable emotional collapse, Harry Lynch (Chris Sheffield, The Stanford Prison Experiment) watches with dread as his father grows increasingly forgetful, confused and angry. Very, very angry! His sister Audry (Michaela McManus, Into the Grizzly Maze, TV's The Orville), whose work in marine biology will soon prove invaluable, returns to town with her daughter and leads them all towards chilling revelations that will affect her family in unimaginable ways.

The Block Island Sound is a hair-raising new horror creation from Kevin and Matthew McManus, Emmy-nominated writers and producers of American Vandal and Cobra Kai. Delivering thrills while touching on a range of the signature worries of our times, from conspiracy theories and climate change to unpreventable familial breakdowns, this film is “a well-constructed puzzle box of a movie” (Josh Hurtado, Screen Anarchy) that “will haunt you long after it’s over." (Molly Henery, Blogging Banshee).

You saw it on NETFLIX in 1080p high-definition, but Synapse Films is proud to present the world-premiere 4K UHD release of The Block Island Sound in a stunning presentation with high-dynamic range (HDR10) and eerie 5.1 surround sound!
