UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif., Feb. 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- A visually spectacular and stunningly emotional drama bursts forth when a boy meets a monster who helps him face the future in A Monster Calls.

The thrilling and magical tale comes to Digital HD on March 14, 2017 and Blu-ray™, DVD and On Demand on March 28, 2017 from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment.

12-year-old Conor O'Malley (played by MacDougall) yearns for guidance after his beloved mother (Jones) becomes ill and he moves in with his less-than-sympathetic grandmother (Weaver). He unexpectedly summons a 40-foot-high colossus of a creature, the Monster (voiced and performed by Neeson), who becomes a most unlikely ally by guiding him on a journey of courage, faith, and truth that powerfully fuses imagination and reality.
