06/06/2016

OVERVIEW: Based on the
best-selling novel by John Niven, KILL YOUR FRIENDS debuts June
7 on Blu-ray™ and DVD from Well Go USA Entertainment. Set in
1990s London at the height of the Britpop music scene, KILL YOUR
FRIENDS stars Nicholas Hoult (About a Boy, Mad Max: Fury Road)
as a 27-year-old misanthropic A&R executive burning his way
through London’s music industry. Fueled by greed and drugs, he’s
searching the globe for the next megahit as he freely indulges
in an unending orgy of self-gratification. But as the hits dry
up and the industry begins to change, the only way he’s going to
salvage his sagging career is by taking the concept of
“cutthroat” to murderous new levels. Bonus materials include
interviews with Nicholas Hoult, James Corden, writer John Niven
and more.
SYNOPSIS: As the twentieth century breathes its very last, with Britpop at its zenith, twenty-seven-year-old A&R man Steven Stelfox (Hoult) is slashing and burning his way through London’s music industry. Blithely crisscrossing the globe in search of the next megahit—fueled by greed and inhuman quantities of drugs and alcohol—Stelfox freely indulges in an unending orgy of self-gratification. But the industry is changing fast, the hits are drying up, and the only way he’s going to salvage his sagging career is by taking the idea of “cutthroat” to murderous new levels.
BLU-RAY:
The film is
presented in widescreen in a 2.40:1 aspect ration preserving its
theatrical format. The picture is just flawless. Not only the
picture looks great in this release, also the sound it is good,
a 5.1 Dolby Digital in English that provides a good complement
to the picture. It also includes English
subtitles.
