Synapse films has provided final details for its upcoming 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray releases of Kevin and Matthew McManus' The Block Island Sound (2020), starring Chris Sheffield, Michaela McManus, Neville Archambault, Robyn Payne, and Ryan O'Flanagan. The two releases are scheduled to arrive on the market on December 10.
Description: Strange things are happening on the remote Block Island Sound. Harry (Chris Sheffield, The Maze Runner) notices that his father Tom (Neville Archambault, Solomon Grundy) is starting to act very differently, becoming forgetful and angry, and taking his fishing boat out in the middle of the night. It's also alarming that birds and fish have been dying around the island. Harry's marine biologist sister Audry (Michaela McManus, Into the Grizzly Maze, TV's The Orville) arrives on the island to investigate the wildlife deaths for the Environmental Protection Agency. She brings along her daughter to enjoy island life with her family. Audry's research exposes chilling truths about the strange occurrences in the area and her family. Are the unimaginable calamities being caused by man's interference, nature running amok, or something beyond?
Emmy nominated writer/producers Kevin and Matthew McManus (American Vandal, Cobra Kai) created a potent blend of ecological and cosmic horror in The Block Island Sound.
