The Roost [Blu-ray]

The Roost Blu-ray presents the debut feature from horror filmmaker Ti West, a tense and atmospheric creature feature produced by Larry Fessenden’s Glass Eye Pix. Blending classic drive-in horror sensibilities with indie filmmaking energy, The Roost helped establish West as one of the most distinctive voices in modern horror.

After a near-fatal car accident on their way to a Halloween wedding, four friends seek refuge at an isolated farmhouse. What begins as a search for help quickly turns into a nightmare when they awaken a colony of bloodthirsty bats and an ancient evil lurking within the property. Trapped in the darkness and hunted by something far more sinister than they expected, the group must fight to survive the night.

Featuring appearances from horror icon Tom Noonan and Glass Eye Pix founder Larry Fessenden, The Roost is a gritty, low-budget horror gem that laid the groundwork for Ti West’s later cult hits.
