Make room for The Coffee Table (aka La mesita del comedor), a wickedly original horror from Spain, helmed by Caye Casas (Killing God) who also co-wrote with Cristina Borobia (RIP). The film certainly made a big noise and had stomachs churning on its original release and is now set for pride of place in your home, as Second Sight Films announce a fantastic new Limited Edition Blu-ray release this Spring. The pre-order link is up now and you can order your bluray set HERE at the Second Sight Films website.

The Coffee Table has been described as ‘Horror film of the year… one of the most distressing nightmares of recent horror cinema’ (El Mundo, Spain) and ‘A genre-leaping marvel… a farce… a melodrama, now a tragedy… uproariously funny until it is not at all’ (Projected Figures) and is now set for a collector’s edition makeover. The set will come complete with a new audio commentary, new interviews with the director, actors and many more as well as two of Caye Casas’ short films. The stunning set is presented in a rigid slipcase with new artwork by Luke Headland and a 120-page book with new essays. It will be released on 28 April 2025 alongside a Standard Edition Blu-ray version.

David Pareja (Amigo) and Estefanía de los Santos (Jaulas) give gobsmackingly brilliant performances as Jesus and María, a couple going through a tough time in their relationship, following the recent arrival of their newborn son. The fiery pair are struggling with the pressures that a new baby brings and their bickering only amplifies on a shopping trip to buy furniture that’s about to change their lives forever.

What begins as a simple disagreement over which coffee table to buy quickly descends into a shocking and tragic event that will rip their lives apart.

The film, co-starring Josep Maria Riera, Claudia Riera and Eduardo Antuña promises an excruciatingly uncomfortable and harrowing experience, with a darker-than-dark sense of humour.

Sit down with The Coffee Table for a fantastically horrifying feature that you’ll never forget and will certainly want to make the centre piece of your collection. For those who adore special features (that’s me!) Second Sight Films have once again made sure that their releases are packed.
