Anchor Bay Entertainment has officially announced that it will release on Blu-ray directors Levan Bakhia and Beqa Jguburia's claustrophobic horror thriller 247° F (2011), starring Scout Taylor-Compton, Travis Van Winkle and Michael Copon. The release will hit retail shelves on October 23rd.
Jenna (Taylor-Compton) is traumatized when she is trapped in a small vehicle after a car accident, forced to observe the mangled corpse of her fiancée in the driver's seat until help arrives. Fast forward three years, Jenna and her three friends travel to a lakeside cabin for a carefree weekend. The fun quickly becomes a nightmare when three of them end up locked in a compact, hot sauna. As fear sets in and Jenna reconnects with the horror of "the incident," every minute counts and every degree matters as they fight for their lives in heat that is quickly approaching 247°F – the temperature when the human body expires. See Scout Taylor-Compton and Tyler Mane reunited for the first time since the Rob Zombie's Halloween films in a thriller that will satisfy just about everything -- but your thirst.

Hmmm...good to know that 246F is apparently perfectly tolerable. Watch out for that 247th degree (the next time you're in the middle of a fire [or pre-heating oven], I mean)!
p.s. is this film as scientifically accurate as The Human Centipede claimed to be? Just curious...
