Neon Bows Horror Movie 'Alpha' on Digital Retail Platforms, on Disc June 23 - Media Play News

Neon began offering the indie horror film Alpha on digital retail platforms for rental and sale on April 14, 2026. The physical disc release is scheduled for June 23 and will be distributed by Alliance Home Entertainment. The Blu-ray edition includes an interview with director Julia Ducournau. The narrative centers on Alpha, a rebellious 13-year-old living with her single mother, a doctor treating patients with a blood-borne disease that transforms the infected into marble. Tension rises when Alpha returns home with an infected tattoo, prompting fears of contraction and triggering a chain of unfortunate events involving family trauma and memory. The film stars Tahar Rahim as Alpha, alongside Golshifteh Farahani, Mélissa Boros, Emma Mackey, Finnegan Oldfield, and Louai El Amrousy. It premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2025 and received a nomination for the Palme d’Or. While it earned approximately $1 million at the box office, Ducournau brings acclaim from her previous titles including 2016’s Raw and the 2021 Palme d’Or winning Titane.
