to live and die in l.a.

format: 4k uhd

 

In the seventies, one of America’s finest ever maestros behind the camera, William Friedkin, made The French Connection, The Exorcist and Sorcerer. In the eighties, he equalled them with the formidable To Live and Die in L.A., one of the most stylish thrillers the decade had to offer.
When his partner is murdered just days before retirement, Secret Service Agent Richard Chance (William Petersen, Manhunter) begins an obsessive hunt for his killer — counterfeiter and all-round psychopath Eric Masters, played by Willem Dafoe at his villainous prime. Beautifully shot by Robby Müller (Repo Man, Paris, Texas) and with a driving score by British new wave act Wang Chung, To Live and Die in L.A. looks and sounds exceptional in this breathtaking 4K restoration from the original camera negative.

nightbreed

format: 4k uhd

 

From the mind of writer/director Clive Barker – the macabre visionary responsible for Hellraiser and Candyman – comes Nightbreed, a nightmare-induced fantasy set in a world like nothing you’ve ever experienced before… one which will leave you questioning who the real monsters are. The victim of studio interference and an unrepresentative marketing campaign, Nightbreed was poorly received by critics on its initial release and failed to ignite the box office, but has since undergone a radical reappraisal. Arrow Films is proud to present two versions of this depraved cult classic: the studio-approved theatrical cut and the reconstructed, reinvigorated director’s cut, for the ultimate nightmarish viewing experience.

Snakes on a plane

Format: 4k uhd & blu-ray

 

A viral sensation before it even finished shooting, Snakes on a Plane was one of the first major Hollywood films shaped as much by internet buzz as by studio edict. Stuntman-turned-director David R. Ellis (Final Destination 2) delivers a delirious high-concept thriller that gleefully melds the disaster movie with creature-feature excess.
Samuel L. Jackson (Deep Blue Sea) is FBI agent Neville Flynn, escorting a key witness in the case against a ruthless crime lord on a commercial jet from Hawaii to Los Angeles. But at 30,000 feet, justice takes a backseat when the mobsters unleash a writhing cargo of venomous snakes into the cabin. With passengers dropping like flies and the cockpit compromised, Flynn and a ragtag band of terrified travellers are forced to enter a fight for survival against nature’s deadliest stowaways.
Outrageous, shamelessly entertaining, and featuring one of the most quotable lines in cinema history, Snakes on a Plane is an instant cult classic that more than earns its reputation as one of Hollywood’s craziest action-disaster movies.

Westworld

Format: 4k uhd & blu-ray

 

Welcome to Delos, the futuristic resort where, for $1,000 a day, wealthy vacationers can live out their wildest fantasies in hyper-realistic theme parks. In the Old West zone, friends Peter (Richard Benjamin) and John (James Brolin) saddle up for adventure, unaware that their dream holiday is about to turn into a nightmare. When a malfunction sends the park’s android hosts off script, the Gunslinger (Yul Brynner, in his iconic black-clad role) begins a relentless pursuit, obliterating the line between simulation and survival. 
Slick, suspenseful, and eerily prescient, Westworld combines a gripping man-versus-machine chase with thought-provoking questions about technology, control, and the price of playing God. Packed with atmosphere and memorable performances, this cult classic remains a landmark in genre cinema – a high-tech nightmare that never loses its bite.

falling down

Format: 4k uhd & blu-ray

 

In 1993, director Joel Schumacher (Flatliners) delivered one of the most provocative studio thrillers of the decade with Falling Down, a darkly comic, razor-sharp portrait of modern urban frustration starring Michael Douglas and Robert Duvall at their very best.
On a sweltering Los Angeles morning, a man known only as “D-Fens” (Douglas) abandons his car in a gridlocked traffic jam and sets off across the city on foot. He just wants to go home, but his path is marred by increasing everyday irritations that escalate into explosive confrontations, leaving a trail of violence in his wake. Trying to piece together these events is veteran cop Prendergast (Duvall), whose quiet final day before retirement becomes a chaotic hunt for a dangerous man on the edge. As the paths of these two very different men converge, the question of whether D-Fens is a victim of an oppressive society, or a man showing his true colors becomes unavoidable.
Now restored in stunning 4K, this controversial cult classic looks sharper and hits harder than ever before.

troy

Format: 4k uhd & blu-ray

 

From director-producer Wolfgang Petersen (Poseidon, Das Boot) comes Troy, an epic tale of love, war and devastation. Adapted from Homer’s classic poem The Iliad, Troy demonstrates the undeniable gravitas and inevitability of Homer’s narrative even after millennia.
When Helen of Sparta (Diane Kruger), though married, elopes with the Trojan prince Paris (Orlando Bloom) and flees to Troy, they’re followed by war of unimaginable proportions. Helen’s husband Menelaus (Brendan Gleeson) summons a united army of Greece led by the arrogant Agamemnon (Brian Cox) and driven forward by the bold and courageous Achilles (Brad Pitt). As the armies of Greece and Troy clash, so too do their greatest champions – Achilles and Hector (Eric Bana) in a conflict that brings devastation to both kingdoms. In this colossal epic, witness huge battlescapes, one-on-one duels worthy of a Colosseum and the fall of a once-great nation.

a fistful of dollars

Format: 4k uhd & blu-ray

 

It wasn’t really the first film of its kind, but the western all’Italiana – or “spaghetti Western” – was never the same again after Sergio Leone’s groundbreaking A Fistful of Dollars, starring Clint Eastwood in the classic role that made him an international icon. A nameless stranger (Eastwood) rides into the Mexican border town of San Miguel and quickly finds himself in the middle of a bloody battle for power between two rival families, the Baxters and the Rojos. Cannily realising there’s money to be made from playing each side against the other, the Man with No Name soon finds himself caught in the crossfire as the body count escalates, his only chance of escape a standoff against the Rojos’ mercilessly cruel leader, Ramón (Gian Maria Volonté). Leone’s clever and contemporary inversion of Western archetypes was not only the first entry in a much-beloved trilogy, but the director’s first collaboration with the brilliant composer Ennio Morricone.

hard boiled

available on 4k uhd & Blu-ray

 

In the 80s and 90s, director John Woo would cement his reputation as a master of action films with classics like A Better Tomorrow, The Killer and Bullet in the Head. This would culminate in 1992 with the release of his masterpiece Hard Boiled, the hyperkinetic, hyperviolent exemplar of the Heroic Bloodshed genre.
Iconic actor Chow Yun-Fat (City on Fire) stars as Tequila, a gung-ho cop working to bring down Johnny Wong (Anthony Wong, Infernal Affairs), the villainous triad boss who maintains a stranglehold on Hong Kong’s illegal gun trade. Johnny attempts to recruit Ah-Long (Tony Leung, Bullet in the Head), an assassin from a rival syndicate, just as the insubordinate Tequila gets taken off the case. Taking justice into his own hands, Tequila tracks Ah-Long down and uncovers an intricate web of deception that threatens to boil over into all-out war.
A fiery coalescence of electrifying performances, elaborate narrative and operatic gunfights, Hard Boiled has rightly been exalted as the undisputed champion of Hong Kong action films, ready to unleash a hail of bullets anew in this stunning restoration exploding with extras.

for a few dollars more

Format: 4k uhd & blu-ray

 

In 1964, Sergio Leone’s A Fistful of Dollars introduced audiences to a new, edgier breed of Western. The following year, he demonstrated that the first film was no fluke with For a Few Dollars More, cementing Clint Eastwood’s “Man with No Name” as a genre icon and spawning a legion of imitators. In the Old West, two rival bounty killers (Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef) hunt the same target: the psychopathic bandit known as “El Indio” (Gian Maria Volonté). The price on his head is high – but one of the hunters harbours a secret personal vendetta. Forming an uneasy alliance, the pair succeed in infiltrating El Indio’s gang… but as greed begets violence, the hunters become the hunted, leading to a final showdown in a circle of death. Made with a much higher budget than its predecessor, For a Few Dollars More expanded the canvas of Leone’s mythic, feverish vision of the western and further developed his unmistakable authorial signature.

road house

Format: 4k uhd

 

Patrick Swayze stars in one of the defining films of the 1980s: Road House, a neon-lit action extravaganza with riveting fight scenes and possibly the coolest protagonist in American cinema. In Jasper, Missouri, the Double Deuce might be the roughest bar around, where fights break out every night, drugs are dealt under tables and the staff skim off the top. But there’s a new sheriff in town: professional cooler and martial artist James Dalton has just been recruited as head of security and begins to class up the joint by roundhouse kicking ruffians and firing bartenders with sticky fingers. Soon the Double Deuce is turned around into the hottest club in Jasper – but Dalton’s exploits provoke the ire of Brad Wesley, the local crime-lord who maintains a vice-like grip on the town. Featuring a star-studded supporting cast including Sam Elliott, Kelly Lynch and Ben Gazzara as the nefarious Wesley, Road House remains the undisputed champion of 80s ass-kicking action!

the birthday

format: 4k uhd and blu-ray

 

Unreleased for nearly twenty years, The Birthday has achieved near-mythic status among cult film enthusiasts. Shot on a single, meticulously designed location, Eugenio Mira’s deliriously offbeat dark comedy offers a career-best turn from Corey Feldman (The Lost Boys), playing wildly against type.
Painfully awkward Norman Forrester (Feldman) chooses the opulent birthday party of his girlfriend Alison’s (Erica Prior) wealthy father (Jack Taylor, Conan the Barbarian) as the perfect moment to propose. But between bizarre encounters with guests and unnervingly polite hotel staff, Norman stumbles into a nightmarish occult conspiracy that threatens not just his relationship but the fate of the world itself. 
Rediscovered at last, The Birthday blends screwball comedy, cosmic horror and feverish style into an unforgettable cinematic experience. Restored from the original negative, Arrow Video is proud to present this one-of-a-kind descent into madness in the release it’s always deserved.

swordfish

Format: 4k uhd

 

The 90s saw an ever-growing number of action-thrillers based around computers and the internet as more and more people connected to the information superhighway. Fresh from the success of The Matrix, legendary producer Joel Silver (Road House, The Invasion) would ride the wave of this global phenomenon into the next millennium with high concept hit Swordfish. Former master hacker Stanley Jobson (Hugh Jackman) is on parole after getting caught infiltrating an FBI program. Even so much as glancing at a computer could send him straight back to prison, but Stanley’s new offline life is interrupted when he’s approached by the mysterious Gabriel Shear (John Travolta), who offers him $10 million for one last hacking job. Unable to resist the lure of the computer screen, Stanley accepts and finds himself caught in the middle of a complex web of intrigue involving several covert agencies and a nine billion-dollar government slush fund. Slick, stylish and action-packed, Swordfish is a nail-biting high-tech thriller from its explosive opening to its thrilling climax, with a great supporting cast including Halle Berry, Don Cheadle and Vinnie Jones.

the texas chainsaw massacre 2

Format: 4k uhd & blu-ray

 

In 1974, Tobe Hooper changed the face of horror with his landmark film The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Though the hulking Leatherface left an indelible mark upon the cinematic landscape, it wouldn’t be until 1986 that the buzz came back… in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2!
Relocating the cannibalistic Sawyers to a cavernous labyrinth beneath an amusement park, Hooper’s deliciously demented sequel sees local DJ Stretch running afoul of them when she gets mixed up in the brutal slaying of two youngsters. Meanwhile, Lieutenant “Lefty” Enright is hell-bent on avenging the murder of his nephew Franklin, who perished in the original massacre. Whichever way you skin it, Leatherface’s second cinematic outing is an uncompromisingly delirious vision from one of the masters of horror.

The Wolf of Wall Street

Format: 4k uhd & blu-ray

 

The Wolf of Wall Street is a movie that’s both exhilarating and exhausting, a wild ride through the world of high finance that never lets up. Directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio in one of his most dynamic performances to date, this film tells the true story of Jordan Belfort, a stockbroker who rises to the top of Wall Street with a combination of charm, audacity, and sheer greed.
a non-stop barrage of sex, drugs, and excess, with Belfort and his cohorts living a life of unimaginable luxury and indulgence. But as the story unfolds, we see the darker side of Belfort’s success, as he becomes increasingly reckless and corrupt, putting his own life and the lives of others in danger. Scorsese’s direction is as frenetic and kinetic as ever, with the camera swooping and soaring through Belfort’s world, capturing the dizzying highs and crushing lows of his life. DiCaprio’s performance is a tour de force, with the actor fully embodying Belfort’s manic energy and larger-than-life personality. “The Wolf of Wall Street” is a movie that’s not for the faint of heart, but for those willing to take the ride, it’s a cinematic experience like no other.

Directed by David Cronenberg and starring James Woods in a career-defining role, this film tells the story of Max Renn, a cable television executive who becomes obsessed with a mysterious television show called “Videodrome.” As Renn delves deeper into the world of “Videodrome,” he begins to experience strange and terrifying hallucinations, blurring the lines between reality and fiction.
The film is a tour de force of Cronenberg’s signature body horror, with grotesque and unsettling imagery that’s not for the faint of heart. Videodrome is a deeply philosophical film, exploring themes of identity, desire, and the nature of reality itself. Woods’ performance is a masterclass in acting, as he navigates Renn’s descent into madness with nuance and complexity. It’s a film that’s both ahead of its time and timeless, a testament to the power of cinema to provoke, challenge, and inspire.

silent running

Format: 4k uhd & blu-ray

 

Both a classic of science fiction and a poignant meditation on the state of the planet. Directed by Douglas Trumbull and starring Bruce Dern in a tour-de-force performance, this film tells the story of Freeman Lowell, a botanist who’s tasked with caring for the last remaining forests of Earth, which have been preserved on a spaceship after the planet has become uninhabitable. But when the orders come down to destroy the forests and return the ship to commercial use, Lowell takes matters into his own hands, risking everything to save the trees he’s grown to love.
Trumbull’s groundbreaking use of miniatures and practical effects creates a sense of scale and wonder that’s still impressive today. But beyond its technical achievements, it speaks to the environmental concerns of its time and still resonates today. Dern’s performance is a marvel, imbuing Lowell with a sense of passion and conviction that’s both inspiring and heartbreaking. As relevant now as it was when it was released, it’s a powerful reminder of the importance of protecting our planet and the beauty that we stand to lose if we don’t.

As her research leads her into the bowels of Chicago’s deprived housing projects and deeper into the Candyman’s world, Helen learns that some legends are best left well alone. Expertly directed by British filmmaker Bernard Rose (Paperhouse) and boasting an astounding score by composer Philip Glass, Candyman ingeniously reworks Clive Barker’s original short story “The Forbidden” (originally published as part of his groundbreaking Books of Blood series) into a modern horror parable that remains as timely today as ever.

the usual suspects

format: 4k uhd & blu-ray

 

Amidst the wave of neo-noir thrillers that swept American cinema in the 1990s, few films made as much impact as The Usual Suspects, which revolutionised the genre, won two Academy Awards® and is still regarded as one of the greatest crime films ever made. 
After a brutal massacre on a cargo ship off the coast of Los Angeles leaves 27 men dead, Special Agent Dave Kujan (Chazz Palminteri) interrogates one of the only two survivors, small-time con artist Verbal Kint (Kevin Spacey). During the interview, Kint tells Kujan of how he was recruited by the fearsome crime lord Keyser Söze to commit a series of daring heists with four other crooked misfits: Dean Keaton (Gabriel Byrne), Mike McManus (Stephen Baldwin), Fred Fenster (Benicio del Toro) and Todd Hockey (Kevin Pollak). But as Kint’s account of the events leading up to the massacre becomes more convoluted, Kujan becomes increasingly sceptical and determined to discover the identity of the elusive Keyser Söze.
With an unforgettably twisty and tightly written Oscar®-winning script by Christopher McQuarrie, The Usual Suspects is an unmissable entry in the canon of American indie cinema.

As enemies close in on all sides, including the ruthless Lord Marshal (Colm Feore, Thor) and his scheming lieutenant Vaako (Karl Urban, The Boys), Riddick finds himself a reluctant saviour of the cosmos, with only his razor-sharp wits and cunning killer instinct standing in the way of total annihilation.

time bandits

Format: 4k uhd & blu-ray

 

The film that established Terry Gilliam as more than just Monty Python’s resident animator, this delightfully inventive children’s fantasy is about young Kevin (Craig Warnock) who finds himself travelling through holes in the space-time continuum in the company of half a dozen fractious dwarfs.
Along the way, he encounters Agamemnon (Sean Connery), Robin Hood (John Cleese), Napoleon (Ian Holm) and winds up as a passenger on the Titanic, although not necessarily in that order. But is this just random entertainment laid on for history fan Kevin’s benefit, or part of a wider struggle between the forces of Good (Ralph Richardson) and Evil (David Warner)?
This is a rare example of an independent British film taking on American blockbusters. Now, it’s a much-loved fantasy classic bursting with inspired images and ideas: Gilliam and co-writer Michael Palin (who also appears) are clearly enjoying themselves as much as their audience.

Five years after the release of Enter the Dragon and the death of its star Bruce Lee, director Robert Clouse was recruited by Golden Harvest to complete Lee’s last, unfinished masterwork, only a third of which was filmed before he died: Game of Death. The result is an exciting rollercoaster ride that blends Lee’s martial arts mastery with Clouse’s eye for nail-biting suspense. Billy Lo (Lee) is a kung fu superstar in the Hong Kong film industry whose happy life with his girlfriend Ann (Colleen Camp) is being intruded upon by a threatening group of American gangsters led by Dr Land (Dean Jagger) and henchman Steiner (Hugh O’Brian), intent on bringing Billy under their control. When Billy refuses, their lethal response sets about a chain of events where a disguised Billy turns the tables on the syndicate, fighting his way through the city for his and Ann’s freedom. With fantastic fight choreography by Sammo Hung, the leading inheritor to Lee’s throne at that time, and a much-beloved music score by John Barry, Game of Death was an international smash hit that helped to keep Lee’s star burning bright long after he was gone.

The Terminal Man

Format: Blu-ray

 

From the director of Get Carter and the writer of Jurassic Park comes a chilling techno-thriller. George Segal is… The Terminal Man.
Harry Benson (Segal) is a brilliant computer scientist who suffers from seizures that induce blackouts and violent behaviour. Undergoing experimental surgery, electrodes are implanted in his brain to detect oncoming seizures and stop them with an electrical impulse. But the pleasure centre of his brain becomes addicted to the stimulus, triggering seizures at shorter and shorter intervals. If they become continuous the blackouts will be permanent, and Benson a homicidal killer.
Much admired by Terrence Malick and Stanley Kubrick, Mike Hodges’ film of Michael Crichton’s novel is an unnerving slow-burn masterpiece long overdue for re-evaluation.

In 1998, director Hideo Nakata (Dark Water) unleashed a chilling tale of technological terror on unsuspecting audiences, which redefined the horror genre, launched the J-horror boom in the West and introduced a generation of moviegoers to a creepy, dark-haired girl called Sadako. The film’s success spawned a slew of remakes, reimaginations and imitators, but none could quite boast the power of Nakata’s original masterpiece, which melded traditional Japanese folklore with contemporary anxieties about the spread of technology. A group of teenage friends are found dead, their bodies grotesquely contorted, their faces twisted in terror. Reiko (Nanako Matsushima, When Marnie Was There), a journalist and the aunt of one of the victims, sets out to investigate the shocking phenomenon, and in the process uncovers a creepy urban legend about a supposedly cursed videotape, the contents of which causes anyone who views it to die within a week – unless they can persuade someone else to watch it, and, in so doing, pass on the curse…

 

  • Additional Features: Bonus footage, Sadako’s video, Reversible sleeve featuring two original artwork options, Trailers
  • Commentary: David Kalat (film historian)
  • Documentaries: The ‘Ringu’ Legacy; A Vicious Circle; Circumnavigating ‘Ringu’; Spooks, Sighs and Videotape

Rampo Noir

Format: Blu-ray 

 

Four filmmakers from completely different backgrounds bring their radically personal takes to the stories of Japan’s celebrated master of the macabre, Edogawa Rampo (Horrors of Malformed Men, Blind Beast).
In “Mars’s Canal”, by music video director and visual artist Suguru Takeuchi, a lone man encounters the other side of his psyche beyond the reflective surface of a circular pond set in a desolate landscape. Japanese New Wave auteur and longtime director of the Ultraman series Akio Jissoji (This Transient Life, Mandala) harnesses his distinctive stylistic sheen in his story of a mad mirror maker, “Mirror Hell”. “Caterpillar” sees the singular vision of cult director Hisayasu Sato (The Bedroom, Naked Blood) at its most grotesque, in his portrait of a wounded war veteran who returns from the frontline as little more than a bloody torso, helpless to defend himself against the increasingly perverted caprices of an embittered wife. Finally, a famous actor is subjected to the obsessive attentions of her limo driver in “Crawling Bugs”, the directorial debut of internationally acclaimed manga artist Atsushi Kaneko (Bambi and Her Pink Gun).
