This December, Synapse Films will release the McManus Brothers’ ecological horror film, The Block Island Sound, on Blu-ray and 4K UHD. Previously available on Netflix, this film has garnered attention for its intriguing blend of horror with contemporary environmental and societal themes.
The story unfolds on Block Island, where unsettling events start impacting both residents and wildlife. Central to the narrative are Harry Lynch (Chris Sheffield), witnessing his father’s unsettling decline, and his sister Audry (Michaela McManus), a marine biologist whose expertise becomes crucial as the plot deepens.
