Home Video Art Prescribes Painkillers
Set for DVD and digital release on January 12, 2016, RLJ Entertainment’s Painkillers promises to have the cure for mankind, and while we wait for a trailer, the home video art has arrived this week. Judging by the art and plot rundown, this one looks to be an action/sci-fi/horror hybrid.

Written by Jason Groce, Kirk Roos, and Peter Winther and directed by Winther, Painkillers stars Colm Feore, Tahmoh Penikett, Lesley Anne Brant, Erica Durance, and Julia Both.
Synopsis:
A squad of Marines sent on a classified mission deep in the war-torn mountains of Afghanistan finds the mysterious item they were sent for… but it’s not what they were expecting. The next thing they know, Major Cafferty (Tahmoh Penikett, “Battlestar Galactica”) and the surviving squad members wake up in a military medical facility with no memory of what happened or even who they are. Using an experimental drug, doctors try to “reboot” the soldiers’ memories, but one by one they fall prey to bizarre hallucinations and homicidal fits of rage. Only through snatches of resurfacing memories does Cafferty begin to question the true motives of the hospital staff and discover the shocking, deadly reality behind the otherworldly artifact they found.
