After that daffy global shipping snafu (because of reasons beyond comprehension), Germany’s premier boutique label Turbine returns to the scene with four new Mediabook covers of John Watts’ horror creeper Clown. Before he delivered three of the best Spider-Man films, John Watts added more terrifying fuel to the fear of our favorite make-uped circus performers. And now we get to relive the terror in glorious 2160 with Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos audio! 

Sweetening this deal are the return of archival extras and a brand-new hour-long documentary! So all you have to do is decide which cover you want—or if you don’t like Mediabooks taking up shelf space, Turbine is also issuing a standard packaging release with Slipcover!

Synopsis:

Unique, clever, and ballsy (Bloody Disgusting)

Kent finds an old clown costume in the attic and saves his son's party with it. But as soon as the children leave, Kent has a problem: the costume won't come off anymore. What begins as a joke quickly develops into a hellish nightmare. Kent feels himself changing, and his desperate attempts to free himself end in terrible pain. As the suit takes possession of his body, Kent slowly undergoes a brutal and painful transformation. The evil has also nested itself in his head and develops an insatiable hunger... for children! Director Jon Watts (Story & Production FINAL DESTINATION: BLOODLINES) and his co-writer Christopher Ford form the creative team behind the SPIDER-MAN trilogy with Tom Holland and STAR WARS - Skeleton Crew. In their horror debut, they rely on handmade gore without digital effects.

World exclusive on Ultra HD Blu-ray disc thanks to a new 4K master with HDR & Dolby Vision - Approved by Jon Watts.
