James Gunn’s masterful mashup of the superhero and horror genres, Brightburn, is coming home this August on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD and Digital.

Brightburn is releasing on Digital on August 6, with a physical release on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD on August 20.

Sony Home Entertainment posted a short video on the official Brightburn Facebook page to announce the release.

The 4K, Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital versions of the film will all include bonus content, including three vignettes, two featurettes, and an audio commentary.

Brightburn poses a terrifying scenario: What if a child from another world crash-landed on Earth, but instead of becoming a hero to mankind, he proved to be something far more sinister? With Brightburn, the visionary filmmaker of Guardians of the Galaxy and Slither presents a startling, subversive take on a radical new genre: superhero horror.

3 “Quick Burns” Vignettes hosted by Actor Elizabeth Banks, Producer James Gunn & Director David Yarovesky
“Hero-Horror!” featurette: It’s not often filmmakers successfully and seamlessly combine both Horror and Superhero into a genre-bending “Hero-Horror” category. Hear from Producer James Gunn and Screenwriters Brian and Mark Gunn as we will learn the methods of their filmmaking style and their dotting of the “i”’s and slashing of the “t”’s storytelling process.
“Nature vs. Nurture” featurette: Hear from Actor Jackson A. Dunn, Producer James Gunn, Screenwriters Brian and Mark Gunn and understand the creative process involved in flipping the script of the traditional “Superhero” and diving into what motivates and moves our new Anti-hero, Brandon Breyer.
