Strangely enough, September is just around the corner. We’re rapidly approaching spooky season and we all are ready to get into the Halloween spirit. Arrow Video is on the same page. That’s why they have a stacked season of releases on their ARROW platform.
September 2 starts the month with a Season of films featuring foul abominations. “MUTANTS!” is a curated collection of films featuring the abnormal and deformed.
Titles include: Head of the Family, Hideous, Mutant War, Trapped Alive, Creepozoids.
Also available September 2 on ARROW: Shocking Dark, a bravura rip-off of both Aliens and Terminator. A team of badass marines, a tough female civilian and an orphaned girl battle monsters beneath the Venice canals while being chased by an indestructible killer cyborg. Absurd: A priest-doctor chasing a man with supernatural regenerative abilities, who has recently escaped from a medical lab, reaches a small town where the mutant goes on a killing spree.
September 9 brings North American audiences a pair of bloodthirsty nightmares. Even by the sleaziest standards of ‘80s EuroTrash, Cannibal Terror remains a film that must be seen to be believed. When a pair of criminal knuckleheads and their busty moll kidnap the young daughter of a wealthy tycoon, they foolishly choose to hide in a local jungle infested with ferocious cannibals. What follows is a mind-roasting exercise in atrocious acting, gratuitous nudity and gut-munching mayhem by a ravenous tribe of flesh eaters who inexplicably sport comb-overs and Elvis sideburns.
On September 16, ARROW’s curation team crosses the Channel and heads to Germany to put together a Season of Teutonic cult classics. Deutsche Horrorfilme is here to help you celebrate Oktoberfest this September.
Titles include: Sleep, The Cabinet of Dr Caligari, The Golem, Hagazussa.
Also available on September 16 is a quartet of cult titles featuring depravity, incest, graphic violence, period piece torture, and gory set pieces. Tourist Trap, The Pit and the Pendulum, Bloody Moon, and Beyond the Darkness.
On September 26, head up to The House On Straw Hill. Banned in Britain for 30 years, The House On Straw Hill is a shockingly violent and erotic tale of seduction, brutality and revenge. Cult movie icon Udo Kier stars as a successful novelist suffering from writer’s block, who rents a country cottage in the hope of finding inspiration. But the arrival of a sensual secretary, played by Linda Hayden sets in motion of chain of events that culminate in an unrestrained explosion of sex and savagery.
Also available on September 26, A Fugitive From the Past. Considered the magnum opus of the five decades-long career of Tomu Uchida, this adaptation of Tsutomu Minakami’s 1700-page novel is a landmark in master director Uchida’s oeuvre. Its gritty monochrome photography has the immediacy of newsreel as Uchida uses the landscapes of postwar Japan to explore the massive social upheaval and unspoken legacies of the war, and create an unsettling karmic allegory of a man’s struggle to escape his past sins.
September 30 caps off the month with the true ending for all mankind: Judgement Day. The church of ARROW is now in session and their Good Book is a digital catalogue of thrills and horrors with a religious bent that will have subscribers praising all the crazy cult filmmakers who have blessed us with a bounty of bizarre and brilliant takes on faith on film that will leave audiences praying for more.
Titles include: The Righteous, Children of the Corn, The Day of the Beast, Dream No Evil, Hell On Earth: The Desecration and Resurrection of Ken Russell’s The Devils.
Also available on September 30: A Day of Judgement. In a 1930s small town rife with lust, corruption and sin, a mysterious figure wielding a scythe arrives to cut an unholy swath of murder, madness, and moralizing that may lead to Armageddon.
Last but certainly not least: Laserblast, streaming September 30. Billy, an ostracized teenager, finds a laser gun in the California desert and with each use, he begins to mutate into a grotesque being. Becoming more malevolent with each blast, he sets his weapon on terrorizing the locals in his small desert town. Now it’s a race against time to save Billy’s life before he becomes completely possessed by the weapon. But the aliens that accidentally left the Laser Gun behind are on their way to claim the powerful weapon…and Billy’s life along with it.
