Directed by John Hyams and penned by Kevin Williamson and Katelyn Crabb, this nail-biting thriller tells the story of a group of friends trying to survive a pandemic that unleashes more than just a virus—it brings a terrifying nightmare they never saw coming.

Williamson mentioned that the feelings of loneliness and fear in the film were inspired by what happened during the COVID-19 pandemic. He also shared his enthusiasm for the release in 4K UHD, saying that the film’s thrilling vibe and beautiful visuals will be presented in a whole new way.
The Ultra HD transfer of the film is exceptionally impressive. The cinematography, crafted by the highly skilled Samy Inayeh, captivates viewers with its meticulous attention to detail. This new transfer reveals every aspect of the film, allowing audiences to appreciate the textures and nuances in a manner reminiscent of an initial viewing experience.

This edition encompasses a variety of special features, including behind-the-scenes footage, deleted scenes, and interviews with the cast and crew. Such an array of supplementary content offers viewers an enriched understanding of the film’s production process.
From the perspective of a filmmaker, witnessing the connection between one’s work and its audience is immensely gratifying. This release of “Sick” serves as a notable acknowledgment of this relationship.
