‘Death and Cremation’ Burns home Video This April
Some relationships can really burn you up in Death and Cremation (review), on DVD April 24 from Green Apple Entertainment.
Crest Point is stereotypical Anywhere, U.S.A., where people go about their business, attend Friday night football games and the local cops’ biggest worry is youthful pranksters.
Stan (Brad Dourif; the Halloween films, HBO’s “Deadwood,” the voice of Chucky) is a 59-year-old recluse who offers cremation services from the basement of his funeral home … though he doesn’t seem much interested in promoting his business. In fact, he’s a deranged sociopath who eliminates anyone he perceives to be a bully.
Jarod (Jeremy Sumpter; TV’s “Friday Night Lights”) is a fatherless, 17-year-old high school outcast who no longer even attempts to fit in at school. Things aren’t much better at home with mom’s abusive boyfriend (Daniel Baldwin; Vampires, Born on the Fourth of July).
When Stan takes the beleaguered teen under his wing, they soon develop a demented friendship. But the neophyte makes mistakes and – as detective Fairchild (Scott Elrod) struggles to pull together clues from local disappearances – Stan must decide if protecting his newfound protégé is worth killing for …
Death and Cremation is presented in full frame with an aspect ratio of 4×3 (1.33:1) and 2.0 Dolby Digital Stereo. 
After releasing in theaters last month, NEON announced today that horror romance Leviticus will arrive on digital platforms to rent or own beginning July 28, followed by a Blu-ray/4K Ultra HD Combo and DVD release on September 8, 2026.
Leviticus marks the feature debut by writer/director Adrian Chiarella.
Joe Bird (Talk to Me) and Stacy Clausen play star-crossed teenage boys who must escape a violent entity that takes the form of the person they desire most — each other.
Mia Wasikowska (Crimson Peak), Jeremy Blewitt, Ewen Leslie (The Nightingale), and Davida McKenzie (Silent Night) round out the cast of horror movie Leviticus.
“Leviticus is a strong debut with an incisive voice at the helm,” I wrote in my review out of Sundance. “We care deeply about Naim and Ryan’s survival, making Leviticus a tense, atmospheric, and claustrophobic vision of young love in a hateful world.”
“Leviticus is the perfect title for writer-director Adrian Chiarella‘s powerful feature debut,” Meagan’s review explains, “a searing anthem against the corrosive nature of fear and bigotry.”
The physical media release comes packed with exclusive bonus features, the home entertainment release includes a feature commentary with Adrian Chiarella, interviews with Chiarella, Stacy Clausen, and Joe Bird, an exclusive behind-the-scenes featurette, and the official trailer.
Look for Leviticus on Digital next week, and check out the box art for September’s Blu-ray release this September.
