COMPETITION: Win The Coffee Table on Blu-ray


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.

And to celebrate we have a copy on standard Blu-ray to give away!

Synopsis:
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.

PREVIEW: The Coffee Table (2024 Film) - Starring David Pareja and Estefanía de los Santos

The Coffee Table, La Mesita

By Jon Donnis
Step into the twisted world of "The Coffee Table" (aka La Mesita), a spine-chilling horror experience from Spain that's ready to send shivers down your spine. Directed by Caye Casas (known for "Killing God") and co-written with Cristina Borobia, this film has already made waves on the festival circuit and is gearing up for its UK debut, courtesy of Second Sight Films.


Described as "An unsettling descent into absolute madness and misery" by Guy at the Movies, and hailed as "A genre-leaping marvel" by Projected Figures, "The Coffee Table" promises to be a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Set for digital release on 20 May 2024, this film is not for the faint of heart.

David Pareja ("Amigo") and Estefanía de los Santos ("Jaulas") deliver jaw-dropping performances as Jesus and María, a couple grappling with the strains of a newborn baby on their relationship. Their journey takes a dark turn during a seemingly innocuous shopping trip for furniture, where a simple disagreement over a coffee table spirals into a tragic event that will haunt them forever.


Joined by Josep Maria Riera, Claudia Riera, and Eduardo Antuña, "The Coffee Table" promises an excruciatingly uncomfortable experience with a pitch-black sense of humor. Critics have hailed it as "an unrelenting, bleak domestic drama" (Screen Zealots) and "an exercise in dread and empathy" (Scully Vision).

Prepare yourself for a harrowing ride into the depths of human darkness with "The Coffee Table." But be warned: once you sit down with this film, you may never look at your furniture the same way again.
