About Coming Home In The Dark - Monster Pictures Slipcase Edition

For the Monster Pictures completist in all of us, this very special blu-ray edition of COMING HOME IN THE DARK comes with an exclusive ‘Monster variant’ slipcase limited to 100 copies and available only through the Monster Pictures webstore.

A family trip through the New Zealand wilderness turns into a nightmare when they’re suddenly confronted by a pair of drifters in this Sundance thriller starring Daniel Gillies (The Originals) and Miriama McDowell (Waru). Winding down a desolate road through an endless valley, Alan and Jill stop their car to take their teenage boys on a hike through the New Zealand wilderness. As they rest for a picnic at a clearing overlooking the water, two ominous-looking drifters appear out of nowhere, silently surrounding the peaceful clan and radiating a threat of imminent danger. With a swift act of violence, these men take the family by force, a seemingly random decision that sets them all on a maddening collision course with the ghosts of their pasts—from which there is no escape.
