Prophecy Roars in 4K Blu-ray by Kino Lorber out May 20

John Frankenheimer's 1979 eco-thriller, Prophecy, starring Talia Shire, Robert Foxworth, Armand Assante, Richard Dysart, and Victoria Racimo, is set to return with stunning clarity. Kino Lorber has prepared a comprehensive 4K Blu-ray package that will hit the market on May 20, 2025.

The narrative immerses viewers in a clash between a logging enterprise and a nearby Native American tribe. Amid escalating tensions, Dr. Robert Verne (played by Robert Foxworth) and his wife, Maggie (Talia Shire), arrive to mediate. The tribal chief, John Hawks (Armand Assante), accuses the logging company of environmental poisoning. As disturbing wildlife mutations reveal the truth, the Vernes are embroiled in a survivalistic battle with mutated creatures.

The release includes two discs laden with features meant to enrich the viewing experience. The first disc promises a NEW 4K restoration from the original camera negative, presented with Dolby Vision/HDR alongside audio options including 5.1 Surround and Lossless 2.0. Supplementing this cinematic refreshment is an insightful audio commentary by entertainment journalists/authors Bryan Reesman and Max Evry.

The second Blu-ray disc is an immersive dive into the film's making and legacy, featuring interviews with key actors and crew members involved in Prophecy. Among them are discussions with Talia Shire, Robert Foxworth, and accomplished make-up effects artists like Tom Burman and Allan Apone. The enticing array of content also includes radio spots and a theatrical trailer.
