He’s big, bald and out for blood: JACOB is coming on DVD and Blu-ray in April, and we’ve got exclusive complete details on the jam-packed special editions, plus an exclusive excerpt.

Written and directed by Larry Wade Carrell and produced in Texas by Odyssee Pictures (creators of SWEATSHOP), JACOB stars Dylan Horne in the title role, a mute, mentally disabled man devoted to his little sister Sissy (Grace Powell). When she becomes a victim of violence, Jacob snaps and embarks on a brutally vengeful rampage. The cast also includes Carrell (in a dual role), Krystn Caldwell and Leo D. Wheeler; Michael Biehn and Jennifer Blanc appear in flashback scenes. Kino Lorber releases the unrated director’s cut on DVD and Blu-ray April 16, with anamorphic widescreen transfers and Dolby Digital 5.1/DTS 5.1 soundtracks. Carrell gave Fango the scoop that the special features will be:

• Audio commentary by Carrell, Horne and Powell
