From the auteur of body horror himself – visionary director David Cronenberg – comes the critically acclaimed Crimes Of The Future in a brand-new Limited Edition Dual 4K /Blu-ray Box Set.

The 2022 sci-fi epic has been lauded as 'provocatively feverish stuff from the dearly missed vintage annals of Cronenberg' (Rogerbert.com), and bears the Canadian maestro's hallmarks, delving into the depths of dystopia to bring audiences fresh iterations of horror and now Crimes of The Future is set for a must-have, release from the masters in the field Second Sight Films this August.

The box set comes as a dual format edition, including both UHD and Blu-ray versions, with the main feature and bonus features on both discs and is presented in a stunning rigid slipcase box with new artwork by Marko Manev. It comes complete with a 120-page book featuring new essays and includes a host of fantastic special features, please see full list below. It will be released on 28 August 2023 and will also be available in Standard Edition 4K UHD and Standard Edition Blu-ray.

In the not-too-distant future, humanity has been forced to adapt to a synthetic environment and the human body has undergone new transformations and mutations. In a world where diseases and physical pain no longer exist, one man, Saul Tenser (Viggo Mortensen – Lord Of The Rings, Green Book, The Road, A History of Violence), has the strange and fascinating ability to grow new organs inside of his body. Joined by his partner Caprice (Léa Seydoux – The French Dispatch, No Time To Die, Blue Is the Warmest Colour) the celebrity performing couple capitalise on his metamorphosis, showcasing the spectacle for a live audience.

Witnessing the marvel first-hand, Timlin (Kristen Stewart – Spencer, Twilight, Still Alice) is immediately stirred by her discovery and shares news with her boss Wippet (Don McKeller – Last Night, Blindness) – the leader of a mysterious group, the National Organ Registry – who want to use Saul's notoriety to shed light on the next stage of human evolution...

Crimes Of The Future is an imaginatively intense and visually explicit masterpiece from a legendary director whose films consistently deliver shocking twists and unexpected thrills and this highly anticipated collector's edition will immerse you in a freakish futuristic world like never before.

In our cinema review, we poraised it for its "relentlessly dark mood, its cast of quirkily fascinating characters, its fractured view of a technologically skewed future, its tactile blending of squishy practical effects and surgical CG, Howard Shore's unsettling minimalist score, and potentially enthralling story threads that are left tantalisingly dangling as potent food for thought."

Crimes of the Future will be released as a 4K UHD Limited Edition, a 4K UHD Standard Edition, and a Blu-ray Standard Edition by Second Sight on 28 August 2023. Available for pre-order at the Second Sight Store, the Limited Edition UHD is priced at £39.99, the Standard Edition UHD is £24.99, and the Blu-ray will sell for £17.99.
