Humanoids from the Deep Figure from Amok Time

Monolith Blu-ray from Well Go USA
Monolith will invade Blu-ray on April 23 from Well Go USA. Starring Evil Dead Rise’s Lily Sullivan, the Australian sci-fi horror thriller marks the feature directorial debut of Matt Vesely.
In her review, Jenn Adams calls Monolith “a low-fi thriller that needles its way under the skin and will likely have viewers interrogating the dark secrets in their own lives.”
Special features include: a commentary by Vesely, writer Lucy Campbell, and producer Bettina Hamilton; a behind-the-scenes featurette; and the trailer.
