We’ve just received the following info on a movie titled Swallow, which is all set to get a limited edition Blu-ray release at the end of this month. Swallow was a film we gave the full five stars to at FrightFest Halloween a couple of years ago, and we urge you to try and check this one out.
Haley Bennett (Hillbilly Elegy) gives an outstanding performance as Hunter a young woman who on the surface appears to have it all, the handsome, successful husband, the idyllic house, and a baby on the way. But is her life as perfect as it seems?
As domineering husband Richie (Austin Stowell – Whiplash), and his overbearing family put pressure on Hunter to play the dutiful wife, she becomes overwhelmed and powerless. Desperate to reclaim control of her life and her identity, Hunter starts to swallow things… and as the compulsion increases the more dangerous the objects she ingests become… When a shocking revelation is exposed, it sets off an unstoppable chain of events that will shock to the very core. Also stars Denis O’Hare (Dallas Buyers Club), Elizabeth Marvel (Unbelievable), David Rasche (Succession) and Luna Lauren Velez (Dexter).
Gaining a lot of buzz on its early lockdown premiere, Swallow now gets an awe-inspiring Limited Edition Blu-ray on 22 November 2021 featuring an amazing array of bonus material including brand new interviews, audio commentaries and a short film from director Carlo Mirabella-Davis. The set is presented in a stunning, rigid slipcase featuring new artwork by Haley Turnbull, alongside a soft cover book with an exclusive introduction by the director and new essays. Please see full list of features on attached press release.
In our original review, we said:
With Swallow, Mirabella-Davis bursts onto the scene as an accomplished director whom you need to keep a close eye on. Haley Bennett shines brighter than we’ve seen before, and with such a beautifully crafted and thoughtfully acted film now on her resume, we can only hope it leads to more greatness.
