Hailed as “non-stop fun” (Jonathan Sim, Coming Soon), “an absolute blast” (Perri Nemiroff, Collider), and “a genuine riot” (Jeff Ewing, Collider), NOVOCAINE is Certified Fresh™ on Rotten Tomatoes® and has earned a stellar 86% Popcornmeter score*.  Jack Quaid “absolutely kills it” (Rachel LaBonte, ScreenRant) as an unlikely hero whose only superpower is that he can’t feel pain.

Fans who purchase NOVOCAINE on Digital** or 4K Ultra HD will have access to over 35 minutes of action-packed bonus content.  Find out how this genre-busting concept went from page to screen, go behind the scenes of the eye-popping stunts, and see how special effects makeup dialed up the carnage.

Bonus content is detailed below:

• A World of Hurt: Production—Co-directors Robert Olsen and Dan Berk discuss the film's unique stunts, production design, cinematography, and special effects.
• Maximum Physical Damage: Makeup Effects—Blood, bones, and bodies…find out the secrets behind the guts and gore that made the action really pack a punch.

Synopsis

Nathan Caine (Jack Quaid) was born with a rare genetic disorder, where he can't feel any pain. When the girl of his dreams (Amber Midthunder) is taken hostage in a bank heist, he turns his inability to feel physical pain into an unexpected strength in the fight to get her back.

NOVOCAINE is rated R for strong bloody violence, grisly images, and language throughout.

*As of 3/26/25
**Availability of bonus content varies by digital retailer
This one looks like it could be a lot of fun.  Jack Quaid was good in Companion, and I can see him working well in this film.

I’ve heard good things

I didn't realize it until after I posted this, but it doesn't mention a standalone Blu-ray release.  I wonder if this is a new strategy, to only release the BD/4K combo and a DVD version.

I thought they should have been doing this from the start of the format. It would have sped up adoption of the format by years IMO.
