On February 25, two highly anticipated Blu-ray and DVD titles are set to hit theaters and home screens, each offering a unique glimpse into the world of horror and dark comedy. Get ready for the dark comedy “Daddy” and the revelatory documentary “Dinner With Leatherface”—both available on Blu-ray and DVD.
Daddy
Directors, producers, and stars Jono Sherman and Neal Kelley deliver a dark comedy that explores what a man must do before he is allowed to father a child—in an alternate universe where fatherhood is a licensed privilege. In this twisted tale, four men eager to have children attend a mysterious workshop designed to test their worthiness for procreation. With no clear instructions or government oversight at a secluded house in the woods, tensions rise as Jeremy (Jono Sherman), Sebastian (Yuriy Sardarov, Chicago Fire), Andrew (Neal Kelley), and Mo (Pomme Koch, Wecrashed) desperately try to prove their eligibility. The question remains: Will they make it to fatherhood?
Special Features
The Blu-ray and DVD release of “Daddy” comes packed with engaging bonus content, including:
- Commentary with directors/stars Neal Kelley and Jono Sherman
- Bonus Web Series: C.U.P.S. Episodes 1 & 5

Also releasing on February 25, “Dinner With Leatherface” exposes the man behind the horrific mask in this compelling documentary.

From his breakthrough as a chainsaw-wielding terror to his subsequent departure from showbiz and return to the world of horror, this film offers an intimate look at the legacy of a true icon.
