A scientific formula equating altruism and the primal nature of human survival becomes the motive behind a horrific murderous plot when the twisted intellectual thriller 'THE KILLING GENE' arrives on unrated DVD August 12th from Genius Products and The Weinstein Company under the company’s Dimension Extreme label.

Starring Stellan Skarsgård (Pirates of the Carribean), Melissa George (30 Days of Night), Selma Blair (Hellboy) and Ashley Walters (Get Rich or Die Tryin’), the sadistic tale follows two detectives as they investigate a string of double murder crime scenes left with the mathematical equation “w delta z” carved into each victim’s body.

As the detectives begin to unearth the meaning of the equation, they realize that each victim is being offered a gruesome choice – kill their loved one or be killed themselves.

Two-time BAFTA Award nominee* Director Tom Shankland’s feature film debut “distastefully delivers” (Variety) as an “intelligent, thought-provoking and brutal horror-thriller” (Evildread.com). Behind the intense violence, sexy plot twists and “uncomfortable debate about human nature” (Empire), the film ultimately examines the true disposition of love and survival.

With bonus features including three deleted scenes and a making of featurette, 'THE KILLING GENE' DVD will be available for the suggested retail price of $19.97
