In Open Grave, Sharlto Copley's character experiences one of the worst rude awakenings possible: waking up in a pit on a bed of corpses. And that's only the beginning of a very bad day for the poor guy, as he also faces memory loss and a group of gun-toting strangers. If you didn't catch it in theaters, you'll soon have the chance to see Copley and company fight for their lives in Open Grave's upcoming Blu-ray and DVD release.

Directed by Gonzalo López-Gallego (Apollo 18), Open Grave will hit home media on July 15th for $24.95 on Blu-ray and $16.99 on DVD:

"Featuring genre favorites Sharlto Copley (District 9, Elysium) and Joseph Morgan (“The Originals,” “The Vampire Diaries”), the zombie apocalypse film that takes psycho thrillers in a new direction, Open Grave, awakens on Blu-ray and DVD July 15 from Cinedigm (NASDAQ: CIDM) and Tribeca Film. Directed by Gonzalo López-Gallego (Apollo 18), the dark and twisted thrill ride also stars Thomas Kretschmann (Wanted, Resident Evil: Apocalypse), Josie Ho (Contagion), Erin Richards (The Quiet Ones) and Max Wrottesley (“24: Live Another Day”).

A complicated story that pits characters against each other, Open Grave examines how important memory is to a person’s identity by forcing six strangers—stripped of all recollection—to confront their inner demons. While these strangers seek to identify their past, evil demons lurk beneath them, forcing them to fight for survival, even if it means betraying their allies.

SYNOPSIS
A man wakes up in a pit of dead bodies with no memory of who he is or how he got there. Fleeing the scene, he breaks into a nearby house and is met at gunpoint by a group of terrified strangers, all suffering from memory loss. Suspicion gives away to violence as the group starts to piece together clues about their identities, but when they uncover a threat that’s more vicious and hungry than each other, they are forced to figure out what brought them all together—before it’s too late."
