The Birthday Limited Edition

£17.99

Released: 16th March 2026. Unreleased for nearly twenty years, The Birthday has achieved near-mythic status among cult film enthusiasts. Shot on a single, meticulously designed location, Eugenio Mira’s deliriously offbeat dark comedy offers a career-best turn from Corey Feldman (The Lost Boys), playing wildly against type. Painfully awkward Norman Forrester (Feldman) chooses the opulent birthday party of his girlfriend Alison’s (Erica Prior) wealthy father (Jack Taylor, Conan the Barbarian) as the perfect moment to propose. But between bizarre encounters with guests and unnervingly polite hotel staff, Norman stumbles into a nightmarish occult conspiracy that threatens not just his relationship but the fate of the world itself.  Rediscovered at last, The Birthday blends screwball comedy, cosmic horror and feverish style into an unforgettable cinematic experience. Restored from the original negative, Arrow Video is proud to present this one-of-a-kind descent into madness in the release it’s always deserved. LIMITED EDITION CONTENTS 4K restoration from the original negative  High Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentation  Original DTS-HD MA 5.1 surround audio  Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing  Audio commentary by actor Corey Feldman and co-writer/director Eugenio Mira  The Shape of a Miracle, a brand new interview with Mira, shot exclusively for this release  Pathology, an in-depth breakdown of a scene from the film by Mira, featuring archival behind-the-scenes footage, storyboards and rushes 2024 Q&A with Feldman and Mira from the film’s 20th anniversary screening at Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas  Original trailer 20th anniversary trailer  Image gallery  Reversible sleeve featuring two original artwork options Collectors’ booklet featuring new writing on the film by Bryan Reesman
