Livid Coming To DVD And Blu-Ray
Studiocanal have announced that French horror Livid will be available to own on DVD and Blu-ray from 13th August 2012.
Written and directed by Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo, Livid is the duo’s long awaited second feature after their depraved 2007 debut, Inside. The story this time around concerns Lucie (Chloé Coullaud), who is on her first day as an in-home caregiver in a gloomy seaside town in Brittany, assigned to the estate of a Mrs Jessel. Mrs. Jessel lies in a cerebral coma, by herself, in her large desolate house. Lucie learns from her trainer that Mrs. Jessel, once a dance instructor who lost her only daughter years, has hidden a treasure in her home that she’s holding onto as part of her final will.
Upon retelling this story to her boyfriend, William (Félix Moati), the two along with William’s brother, Ben (Jérémy Kapone), decide to go to the woman’s home late on Halloween night and find the treasure for themselves. As the house reveals itself to be increasingly peculiar, their hunt for the Jessel treasure leads them into a horrifying supernatural series of events that will change Lucie’s life forever.
Livid premiered at last year’s Toronto International Film Festival and has been screened to great praise elsewhere, including Film 4′s 2011 Frightfest Halloween all-nighter. The film will also be available to purchase via EST (Electronic Sell-Through) platforms online.
