FEBRUARY HIGHLIGHTS

EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE:
A GHOST WAITS

An ingeniously unique and unpredictable combo of horror, humor and heart, A GHOST WAITS is a DIY labor of love years in the making from first-time writer/director Adam Stovall and producer/star MacLeod Andrews. From its opening spectral assault to its achingly poignant
conclusion – as well as a witty depiction of afterlife bureaucracy in the vein of Beetlejuice and A Matter of Life and Death – A Ghost Waits has shocked and surprised audiences around the world, and now makes its home video debut stacked with insightful bonus features that take
you inside the process of creating this phantasmagorical monochrome marvel.

LARS VON TRIER SEASON

ARROW showcase some of most remarkable works of the controversial, iconic and ground breaking filmmaker Lars Von Trier, including BREAKING THE WAVES, which stormed the Cannes festival, launched Emily Watson's and Von Trier's careers; the extraordinary, utterly unique examination of depression in MELANCHOLIA; the prude baiting epic NYMPHOMANIAC PARTS 1 AND 2, featuring bold performances from Willem Dafoe and Uma Thurman; and, THE HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT, where Von Trier elicited a career best performance from Matt Dillon as an architect / serial killer with OCD, in an intense and personal, and blackly hilarious film that seems to dovetail all of Von Trier's themes and obsessions up to this point, into an epic masterwork of modern cinema.

[REC]

28 Days Later meets The Blair Witch Project as a mysterious virus turns the inhabitants of an apartment building into a horde of frenzied, bloodthirsty ghouls in [REC] – the original 2007 “found footage” phenomenon that spawned a hit franchise and US remake. Fusing the zombie
genre with the “found footage” format to throw the audience right into the midst of the action, [REC] is a terrifying, relentless rollercoaster ride which builds to one of the horror genre's all time bone-chilling climaxes.

Beyond Re-Animator

BEYOND RE-ANIMATOR
Jeffrey Combs (The Frighteners), everyone's favourite mad doctor, returns for the second sequel to Stuart Gordon's undisputed 1985 splatter classic Re-Animator. Once again helmed by gore guru Brian Yuzna (Bride of Re-Animator, Society) with memorably imaginative make-up
effects by Screaming Mad George (Society, The Guyver), BEYOND RE-ANIMATOR breathes new life into the hit horror franchise.

JODOROWSKY SEASON

Alejandro Jodorowsky is one of world cinema's most fabled iconoclasts. Often venerated as the ultimate cult film director, the Chilean artist shot to prominence as a 1970s counter-cultural icon thanks to the masterful movies presented on this collection: FANDO Y LIS, EL TOPO and
THE HOLY MOUNTAIN. These extraordinary films, presented here alongside his stunning new film PSYCHOMAGIC, bedazzled audiences with their unique aesthetic, contrasting violence and beauty; the sublime and the sacrilegious; the mystical and the macabre.

WILD TALES

If you have ever been frustrated by bureaucracy, aggravated by bad drivers or wished you could take revenge on those that have wronged you, Damián Szifron's dazzling film is for you. Across six stories of apocalyptic revenge, WILD TALES depicts how modern life and human relationships can drive us mad, behave out of character or seek retribution. By turns shocking, hilarious, violent and preposterous, the Oscar-nominated WILD TALES is one hell of a thrill ride produced by Pedro Almodóvar.

13 Assassins

13 ASSASSINS

Takashi Miike's 13 ASSASSINS is a masterpiece of Japanese samurai cinema that pays homage to the classics of the genre, while being a wild and bloody assault on the senses in a way that only Miike could achieve. A remake of the 1963 film, this is a breathless, carnage-packed two
hours of pure adrenalised cinema, featuring a splendid central performance from Koji Yakusho as the swordsman on a suicide mission.

DEMONS 1 & 2 in 4K UHD

On February 22nd, the classic Italian horror DEMONS (1985), and the sequel DEMONS 2 (1986), arrive on ARROW in stunning 4K UHD. The gruesome fan favourite frighteners, directed by Lamberto Bava and produced by Dario Argento, have never looked better in these brand new
restorations, with bloodthirsty creatures running amok in a cinema in the first film, and inside a luxury apartment block in the second.

About the author

Rouven Linnarz

Ever since I watched Takeshi Kitano's "Hana-Bi" for the first time (and many times after that) I have been a cinephile. While much can be said about the technical aspects of film, coming from a small town in Germany, I cherish the notion of art showing its audience something which one does normally avoid, neglect or is unable to see for many different reasons. Often the stories told in films have helped me understand, discover and connect to something new which is a concept I would like to convey in the way I talk and write about films. Thus, I try to include some info on the background of each film as well as a short analysis (without spoilers, of course), an approach which should reflect the context of a work of art no matter what genre, director or cast. In the end, I hope to pass on my joy of watching film and talking about it.
