Scream Factory has announced that it will release on Blu-ray dierctor Gus Krieger's horror thriller The Binding (2015), starring Max Adler, Larry Cedar, and Kate Fuglei. The release will be available for purchase on August 2.
An unsettling spiritual shocker, THE BINDING shows the darker side of devotion when a religious family's patriarch begins receiving visions of bloodshed. Written and directed by Gus Krieger, produced by Michael Glassman and Scott Hyman, The Binding presents divine psychological horror through a modern reimagining of the Biblical tale of Abraham, who was commanded by God to bind and kill his infant son. A young minister's wife (Arrow's Amy Gumenick) attempts to reconcile her foreboding maternal instincts with her deeply religious husband (Josh Heisler) and his increasingly disturbing intentions. Is he receiving visions from God or unraveling within his own delusions of grandeur? How far will a family's faith extend when their blind devotion means their violent destruction? Praised for its intelligent design, The Binding became a critical favorite through its celebrated performances and cerebral nuance.
A tale of unthinkable horror in the tradition of Rosemary's Baby, writer/director Gus Krieger's journey into the darkest corners of one family's faith features supporting performances by Leon Russom (True Grit, Prison Break) and Larry Cedar (The Crazies, Deadwood), with special guest appearances by Max Adler (Glee), Catherine Parker (Absentia) and Stuart Pankin (The Artist).
