‘Dead Man’s Shoes’ Shane Meadows’s tour-de-force starring Paddy Considine gets Limited Edition Blu-ray Release on 10 August 2026
‘A cult classic, thanks in large part to Paddy Considine’s terrifying, brooding central performance’ The Guardian
‘Disturbing, uncompromising and completely gripping’ ★★★★ Empire
‘Death Wish comes to the streets of Derbyshire… Shane Meadows’ pared-down tale of vigilante vengeance… the violence – nasty and unglamourised – delivers a short, sharp shock to the moral nether regions, as it demands: what would you do?’ ★★★★ BBC.com
‘Shane Meadows’s best film… a short sharp shock of revenge horror, film noir, social realism and black comedy with a classic twist… earns his “Scorsese of the Midlands” tag with eruptions of striking brutality. And the supremely unnerving Considine is his De Niro’ ★★★★★ The Times
Shane Meadows’s tour-de-force Dead Man’s Shoes is one of the best British films ever made and features one of the most powerful and fearsome performances ever seen on screen from Paddy Considine. Now, the film finally gets the release it deserves as Second Sight Films announces the highly anticipated Dead Man’s Shoes Limited Edition Blu-ray Box Set, set for release this Summer.
Lauded as one of the grittiest and most visceral British revenge dramas ever made, this tense and uncompromising psychological thriller stars Considine – who also co-wrote the film – as Richard, a former soldier who returns to his hometown in Derbyshire. But why has he come back?
Filled with violence, vengeance and simmering menace, Richard embarks on a chilling campaign of revenge against those responsible for devastating past atrocities.
What begins as psychological intimidation gradually escalates into a brutal reckoning as he hunts down the gang members one by one.
Featuring an exceptional cast including Toby Kebbell (RocknRolla, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes) and boxing champion turned actor Gary Stretch (Alexander), who both give outstanding performances, the acclaimed film is set to arrive in this must-own collector’s edition on 10 August 2026.
The set is presented in a stunning rigid slipcase with new artwork by Krishna Shenoi, a 120-page book with new essays, a Graphic Novel and features a slew of fantastic additional content including new audio commentaries and new interviews.
