The film, written & directed by Damien Leone, stars Lauren LaVera, David Howard Thornton, Elliott Fullam, Felissa Rose, and Chris Jericho.

The tech specs for the 4K and Blu-ray both include a presentation in the 1.78:1 aspect ratio and DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 lossless surround sound.

You can find the 4K UHD Blu-ray (pictured above) as an exclusive and now available for preorder over at retailer Best Buy. Also, both a Blu-ray Disc “Collector’s Edition” and an exclusive Blu-ray Disc SteelBook are now available for preorder, as well, over at retailer Walmart (pictured below).
