The Day

The Day is making its way to DVD and Blu-ray on November 27th and we have an exclusive clip to share via the video player inside.

The snippet is culled from the disc's audio commentary featuring director Doug Aarniokoski, producer Guy A. Danella and writer Luke Passmore.

Released in August, the film stars Shawn Ashmore, Ashley Bell, Cory Hardrict, Dominic Monaghan, Shannyn Sossamon and Andrew Coutts.  A group of five survivors, armed with shotguns, axes and machetes, wander the back roads of a ravaged landscape looking for refuge in The Day, a terrifying look into a post-apocalyptic future. As war ravages humanity, destroying civilization and most of life on earth, the survivors realize they must do whatever it takes to stay alive. Lost, starving, and exhausted, they seek shelter in a seemingly safe abandoned farmhouse. However, while searching for food and resources, they unwittingly set off a trap signaling to their ruthless predators lying in wait to begin their deadly attack. With food and ammunition dwindling, the group must make a desperate final stand - over a 24 hour period - battling for their ultimate survival.
