ARROW - April Line Up

Out on:VOD 1st April 2022

ARROW LOOKS TO THE SKIES IN APRIL, ARROW PREMIERES A STUNNING DEBUT, CLAUDE CHABROL, ITALIAN COP ACTION, AND GRINDHOUSE GALORE!

ARROW is now available on Xbox

Key highlights this APRIL on the essential, alternative streaming service ARROW include the exclusive premiere of the out-of this-world THE SACRED SPIRIT, the legendary Lance Henriksen in an exploitation action classic, the cream of crime thrillers from Italy, some seriously deranged celluloid from the AGFA COLLECTION, and much much more...

In April, ARROW premieres THE SACRED SPIRIT, an astounding, one-of-a-kind masterwork from Spanish writer/director Chema Garcia Ibarra. What starts out as a kooky comedy about a seemingly-harmless group of eccentric UFO spotters then takes a truly unexpected turn into much darker material. Ibarra, making his feature debut here, manages to balance this uneasy mix of the quirky and downright disturbing. Composing scenes with a Wes Anderson-esque attention to detail, and shooting in luminous 16mm, he draws marvellous performances from a non-professional cast in the city of Elche (Ibarra’s hometown). It’s a truly unique, powerful and eventually extraordinarily moving film that you can see first on ARROW.

Also in April, ARROW presents the third collection of the weirdest and wildest and just downright out there titles rescued from celluloid obscurity by a bunch of brilliant boutique cult film preservers: VINEGAR SYNDROME COLLECTION: VOL. III. The Passing is a sci-fi body-swapping examination of love, loneliness and the fear of dying; and The Battle for the Lost Planet and Mutant War are to be taken together, and feature a thief out of time facing down alien mutants. Iif it’s Rambo vs. bikers you’re after then you really do not want to miss Savage Dawn.

Seasons in April include Twisting The Knife: Four Films by Claude Chabrol - sardonic, provocative, unsettling, Chabrol’s films cut to the quick with a clarity and honesty honed to razor sharpness; Poliziotteschi "High-speed Italian crime!", featuring hard-hitting, white hot lead-filled, pedal-to-the-metal movies straight out of a 70s Italy, offering a fascinating insight into a highly specific time and place where corruption and class informed the filmmakers choices in often morally dubious action-packed thrillers; and dive into 110% ADRENALINE, an action-packed collection of Euro-Crime films featuring half a dozen utterly exhilarating features from Italy’s Fernando di Leo.

ALSO SHOWING: an unnerving chiller starring the marvellous TOD SLAUGHTER; serial killers on film; creepy-crawlies unleashed; paranoia in the movies, and more.

New Seasons this April

From April 1:

Poliziotteschi "High-speed Italian crime!" (UK/US/CA/IRE)
Featuring hard-hitting, white hot lead-filled, pedal-to-the-metal movies straight out of a 70s Italy that was bitterly and dangerously divided along political and social lines, all of the films in the Poliziotteschi collection offer a fascinating insight into a highly specific time and place where corruption and class informed the filmmakers choices in these often morally dubious action-packed thrillers.

Brutal criminals and super-cool cops collide in knuckle-breaking car chases featuring gorgeous retro automobiles flung through traffic at insanely dangerous speeds, and gritty violence doled out by anything from a Colt .38 to a fork lift truck! Featuring the work of extremely brave stunt men literally risking it all for some truly death-defying moments, in these Italian crime thrillers, or crimi, you hold on tight and you take justice any way you can get it.

Titles include: The Heroin Busters, Savage Three, Colt 38, The Kidnap Syndicate


110% Adrenaline: The Di Leo Collection:

You really should stop for a minute and take a few calming deep breaths before diving into 110% ADRENALINE, an action-packed collection of Euro-Crime films featuring half a dozen utterly exhilarating features from Italy’s Fernando di Leo.

Kidnap Syndicate is described by its own writer as “a nasty film about nasty times”, while critics called it “immoral and asocial”. We say “that sounds brilliant”; 1969’s Naked Violence sees a police inspector trying to crack the case of a group of young punks who savagely attack and murder their teacher; in Rulers of the City two hoods hatch a scheme to con a mob boss (legendary tough guy Jack Palance) out of enough money to live the good life, but, unfortunately for them he isn’t one to be messed with; featuring two iconic car chases that allegedly cost half the film’s budget, Shoot First Die Later is the tale of a young crooked cop sucked into the vortex of a violent vendetta; ice cold and ultra-violent, The Boss details a take-no-prisoners gang war between the Sicilian and Calabrian mafias; in The Italian Connection, a pair of New York hitmen are dispatched to Milan to perform a hit for the mob. Culminating in an unforgettable wrecking yard confrontation, this roaring rampage of revenge brings down hell on the underworld!

Titles include: Shoot First Die Later, Kidnap Syndicate, Naked Violence

April 4

Vinegar Syndrome Collection Vol. III (UK/US/CA/IRE)
We know that when it comes to Vinegar Syndrome movies, just like us, you cannot get enough - so, hot on the heels of Vol. I and II, comes a third collection of the weirdest, wildest and just plain raddest titles rescued from celluloid obscurity by a bunch of brilliant boutique cult film preservers: VINEGAR SYNDROME COLLECTION: VOL. III.

The Passing is a sci-fi body-swapping examination of love, loneliness and the fear of dying; and The Battle for the Lost Planet and Mutant War are to be taken together and feature a thief out of time facing down alien mutants. If it’s Rambo vs. bikers you’re after then get a load of Savage Dawn.

Collection includes: The Passing, Savage Dawn, The Battle for the Lost Planet

Third Window Films Collection (UK/US/CA/IRE)
The Third Window Films brand was born in 2005 when its film-loving founders grew bored of the stream of worn-out shock horror vehicles from the Far East.

Third Window Films works hard to bring you the wonderful world beyond long-haired ghost films and mindless Hollywood action copies, sourcing the finest works in new Far Eastern cinema. We strive to represent a rich variety of film genres, be they dramas, comedies, political satires, action or anything else in between.

Let Third Window Films be your window to the East!

Titles include: Funky Forest, The Warped Forest, The Legend of the Stardust Brothers, Casting Blossoms to the Sky, Seven Weeks

April 11

Entomophobia (UK/IRE)
If you didn't have it already, you certainly will after watching this season: Entomophobia - the irrational (we'd say actually pretty darn rational!) of insects. Creepies, crawlies, if it's got way too many legs and is keen on getting in your hair and up your shirt, you'll find it in this under-your-skin selection of skittering arthropod focussed flicks.

Titles include: Phenomena, Casket Climber Insect God, Slugs, Naked Lunch

April 15

Trust No One (UK/US/CA/IRE)
In Chema García Ibarra's The Sacred Spirit a group of Spanish ufologists must adapt following the death of their founder and one of their members takes things too far in the quest for contact. Full of conspiracy theories, symbology, hidden messages and a fresh and frightening take on those who want to believe and the lengths that they will go to, The Sacred Spirit inspired our latest season: Trust No One.

A collection of films, shorts and stand-alone television episodes that feature enough aliens, cults, conspiracies, paranoia and tin foil hats to have you constantly checking over your shoulder while muttering "The truth is out there, the truth is out there, the truth is out there" - if it would get the attention of Mulder and Scully, it’s in here. And remember, Trust No One.

Titles include: The Sacred Spirit, Insecticide, Something Weird

April 18

Portraits of Serial Killers (UK/US/CA/IRE)
We have more than our fair share of sadistic serial killers lurking within the labyrinth of titles on ARROW, and to celebrate the arrival of one of the greatest, grittiest and grimmest portrayals of a homicidal maniac ever committed to celluloid - Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer - we thought it would be a good idea to gather them all together to celebrate. Reading that back now, it actually doesn't sound very wise, but we're sure everything will be OK...

So, check all your doors and windows are securely bolted and that nobody is behind your sofa and settle in with a season of serial killer thrillers that run the gamut from the darkly comic, to the brilliantly bonkers, from gorefests to slow-burning skeeze sessions, from modern smashes to obscure gems, and from films that will have you checking over your shoulder to features that will have you laughing so much that you choke on your popcorn.

Titles include: A Serial Killer's Guide to Life, The Stylist, Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer


Rogue Cops and Racketeers: Two Crime Thrillers from Enzo G. Castellari

Over a long and wide-ranging career, director Enzo G. Castellari (Keoma, The Inglorious Bastards) helmed some of the most infamous of all the poliziotteschi – the gritty, action-packed crime films that proliferated in Italy throughout the 70s. Buckle up for a heart-stopping thrill ride through the seedy underbelly of Italian society in two of his most celebrated thrillers!

In 1976’s The Big Racket, Inspector Nico Palmieri (Fabio Testi, What Have You Done to Solange?) is hot on the heels of a gang of ruthless racketeers. Realizing he’s not going to get anywhere within the confines of the law, Nico recruits a crack squad of civilians to dole out their own brand of justice. Then, in 1977’s The Heroin Busters, rule-flouting cop Fabio (Testi) goes deep undercover, chasing a globe-trotting ring of drug-smugglers suspected to be operating out of Rome. But can he and Mike Hamilton (David Hemmings, Deep Red), an Interpol agent with a hair-trigger temper, stay one step ahead of the criminals long enough to bring them down from the inside?

Featuring death-defying stunts, explosive shoot-outs and a pair of addictive, toe-tapping soundtracks courtesy of the De Angelis brothers (Torso) and legendary prog rock group Goblin (Suspiria), these two films represent the crème de la crème of the Italian crime thriller.

Titles include: The Big Racket, The Heroin Busters

FROM APRIL 25th:

AGFA Collection Vol III
We love Austin, Texas' American Genre Film Archive. Working their socks off to preserve, conserve and distribute the coolest and craziest in seldom-seen underground cult cinema, we are extremely happy to now bring you a third AGFA Collection of fantastic flipping mad exploitation films the likes of which you've never seen!

The trippy Texploitation Things To Come is a dreamy and dystopian film full of robots, computers and bloody violence; The Dirty Dolls is a sleazy and psychotic summery Californian crime spree movie high on the fumes of the Manson murders; She Mob is a sweaty, dusty, Dallas-set Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! from an alternate universe; the more absurdist and surreal take on the girl gang-sploitation picture, The Girl From Pussycat, is a perfect companion piece to She Mob; the marvellously monikered Sometimes Aunt Martha Does Dreadful Things is the histrionic Floridian psychodrama you'd get from mixing Pink Flamingoes, Blood Feast and The Brady Bunch into an acid-spiked smoothie; the collection is rounded out by The Curious Dr. Humpp - a film that AGFA themselves don't describe as a movie, but as a rite of passage - this sex-horror classic is one is a real head-messer-upper!

Titles include: The Dirty Dolls The Curious Dr Humpp, She Mob


Twisting The Knife: Four Films by Claude Chabrol
Claude Chabrol left in his wake more than fifty feature films that remain among the most quietly devastating genre movies ever made. Sardonic, provocative, unsettling, Chabrol’s films cut to the quick with a clarity and honesty honed to razor sharpness.

The Swindle (Rien Ne Va Plus) sees Chabrol at perhaps his most playful as a pair of scam artists, Isabelle Huppert and Michel Serrault, get in over their heads; the murder of a 10 year old girl sparks rumours and gossip in The Color of Lies (Au Coeur Du Mensonge), as suspicion falls on René (Jacques Gamblin) the dour once-famous painter who was the last person to see her alive; enigmatic, perverse, seductive, Isabelle Huppert encapsulates everything that makes Nightcap (Merci Pour Le Chocolat) a film John Waters calls “cinematic perfection”; finally, in The Flower of Evil (La Fleur Du Mal), incest, old money and intergenerational guilt come under the scalpel as an outwardly perfect bourgeois family begins to unravel.

Though influenced by Fritz Lang, Alfred Hitchcock and Jean Renoir, Chabrol’s voice was entirely and assuredly his own, influencing in turn filmmakers like Bong Joon-ho, James Gray and Dominik Moll. His amused, unblinkered view of life and refusal to judge his characters makes his films timelessly relevant and accessible to all.

Titles include: The Swindle, Nightcap, The Color of Lies

APRIL 1: THE HEROIN BUSTERS

The Heroin Busters (UK/US/CA/IRE)
Over a long and wide-ranging career, director Enzo G.

APRIL 1: THE BIG RACKET

The residents of a small border town find themselves under siege by a vicious biker gang who get their kicks from unfettered brutality. When Stryker, a hardened Vietnam veteran who's in the area visiting an old friend, learns of the goings-on, he becomes determined to put an end to the violence by any means necessary, and begins to assemble a ragtag militia... A rough n' tumble biker themed action film which evokes the feeling of AIP's 60s classics, though filtered through a nudity, violence, and crazy stunt fueled Cannon-era sensibility, Simon Nuchtern's SAVAGE DAWN stars Lance Henriksen (The Terminator, Aliens), George Kennedy (Death Ship), Karen Black (Easy Rider), and Richard Lynch (Invasion USA). Featuring heavily gelled cinematography by Gerald Fiel and a score by Pino Donaggio (Dressed to Kill).

An outrageous collection of surreal, short attention span non-sequiturs largely revolving around Guitar Brother, his randy older sibling, and the pair's portly Caucasian brother.

APRIL 4: THE WARPED FOREST

Settle into your chair and be transported to a place both familiar and alien; where a giant shop-girl can barely fit in her store, there's a weird green pod in every bedroom, and terrifying wood nymphs provide a heartbroken woman with the anatomically correct fruit everyone seems to covet. In the end we are left, like Alice, with the Red King's conundrum: are we dreaming them or are they dreaming us?
APRIL 4: THE PASSING

Ernie and Rose are two widower WWII veterans with no one but each other, living in a crumbling old house outside of Baltimore. Wade is a youthful, blue collar laborer with a wife and young child. Their lives seem predetermined to never intersect, until Wade's wife is savagely assaulted and, in a fit of anger, Wade accidentally kills her attacker, subsequently finding himself convicted of murder and sentenced to death. Fears of morbidity are also affecting Ernie who, on the advice of his doctor, agrees to enroll in a mysterious program in which the minds and souls of the elderly can be implanted into the bodies of the young. Eager to experience youth once again, Ernie agrees, with Wade forcibly assigned to be Ernie's new physical self. But neither of the two men, one willing, one victim, are prepared for the true results of the horrifying procedure... A seven-year passion project for director, writer, producer, and co-star John Huckert, THE PASSING is a dazzling micro-budget examination of love, loneliness, and the fear of death, set against an increasingly surreal science-fiction and horror background, as it builds to its unforgettable and unsettling body transfusion filled climax.

APRIL 4: BATTLE FOR THE LOST PLANET

Can Esteban rescue his love from this madhouse before the inquisitor discovers what is going on and has everyone executed?

APRIL 18: HENRY PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER

Widely heralded as one of the greatest serial killer movies of all time, Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer presents a bleak and unflinching dive into the mind of a mass murderer. Recently released from prison, the nomadic Henry (Michael Rooker, Guardians of the Galaxy, The Walking Dead) finds temporary abode in the rundown Chicago lodgings of a former jail acquaintance and small-time drug dealer, Otis (Tom Towles). Hiding behind his unremarkable employment as a pest exterminator, Henry leads a double life, prowling the streets by night on a brutal and apparently motiveless killing spree. As the bodies mount up, Otis finds himself inducted into Henry’s dark secret world, but when Otis’ sister Becky (Tracy Arnold) moves in, herself fleeing from an uncomfortable domestic situation, it quickly becomes apparent that two’s company, but three’s a crowd. Based on the horrific true-life crimes of Henry Lee Lucas, the harrowing controversial debut feature from John McNaughton (Mad Dog and Glory, Wild Things) returns to the UK in its best-looking release ever, in a new 4K restoration supervised by the director himself.

APRIL 25: THE DIRTY DOLLS

Johnny, a psychopath, puts together a gang made up of young teenage girls to commit crimes for him. Everything is going well until one day, during a diamond robbery, the girls are forced to take two hostages and bring them back to the hideout along with the loot. Furious, Johnny wants to kill the hostages so there will be no witnesses, but one of his gang, who happens to be his sister, starts to think that maybe Johnny is going too far.

APRIL 25: SHE MOB

Shot on the sweaty backroads of Dallas and Waco, SHE MOB is an underground miracle that feels like an alt-Earth FASTER PUSSYCAT! KILL! KILL! as realized by a young John Waters. Big Shim is the cone-bra-wearing butch leader of a wild girl gang that’s running from the law. After kidnapping a gigolo named Tony, Shim and the girls demand a ransom from Tony’s wealthy lady keeper . . . OR ELSE!! Produced and directed by NBC News veteran Maurice Levy, written by Diana Paschal, and featuring actresses culled from Jack Ruby’s infamous Dallas nightclub, SHE MOB is an essential jewel in the other-dimensional vortex known as Texploitation.

APRIL 25: SOMETIMES AUNT MARTHA DOES DREADFUL THINGS

Dropping somewhere between PINK FLAMINGOS, BLOOD FEAST, and an episode of THE BRADY BUNCH on acid, SOMETIMES AUNT MARTHA DOES DREADFUL THINGS is a histrionic psychodrama that could only have originated in the alternate dimension known as Florida. After robbing a bank in Baltimore, cross-dressing Paul (aka Aunt Martha) and his partner Stanley hide out in a Florida town. But it’s only a matter of time beforePaul’s paranoia forces him to embark on a demented killing spree. AGFA is thrilled to present one of the most unforgettable exploitation movies of all time -- and an overlooked chapter of early queer cinema -- preserved from the only 35mm theatrical print in existence.

APRIL 25: THE CURIOUS DR HUMPP

THE CURIOUS DR. HUMPP isn’t a movie -- it’s a rite of passage. Easily one of the most brainbreaking sensory overloads in exploitation history, the story follows Dr. Humpp and his army of grotesque monsters as they kidnap couples and drain their “blood forces of sex” to keep the doctor eternally young. Directed by the prolific Emilio Vieyra in Argentina, this movie combines artful gothic horror with unhinged sex, comic book pulp, and a talking brain in a jar. Plus a monster who plays the guitar. Basically, this is what might have happened if Mario Bava collaborated with Doris Wishman after an acid binge.

APRIL 25: THE GIRL FROM PUSSYCAT

Shot in New York with the crude experimentation of an early Andy Warhol film, THE GIRL FROM PUSSYCAT is a fascinating outlier in the world of underground exploitation. The movie follows a girl gang of social and sexual anarchists as they have orgies, get stoned, rob banks, and torture men by jamming their fingers in toasters. Absurd and surreal, this feels like the dreamy collaboration between Jean-Luc Godard and Doris Wishman that never happened. Newly preserved in 2K from the only known 35mm theatrical print in existence!

APRIL 25: THINGS TO COME

A future dystopia dream-epic shot in San Antonio, THINGS TO COME finds Julie leaving her marriage to investigate a mysterious sci-fi cult on behalf of frustrated women everywhere. With a soundtrack that feels like it was cribbed from A CLOCKWORK ORANGE, ambitious sets that look like leftovers from STAR TREK, and no lack of robots, computers, and bloody violence, THINGS TO COME is a truly unique Texploitation headtrip.

APRIL 25: THE SWINDLE

Betty and Victor are a pair of scam artists. One day Betty brings in Maurice, a treasurer of a multinational company. Maurice is due to transfer 5 millions francs out of Switzerland, and Betty is convinced he plans to steal that money.

APRIL 25: THE COLOR OF LIES

In a small Breton town, a 10-year-old girl is found murdered. René, her art teacher, a professional painter, is the last person to have seen her alive. The inspector in charge of the investigation immediately questions him.

APRIL 25: NIGHTCAP

After the death of his second wife, concert pianist André Polonski remarries his first wife, Swiss chocolate-company heiress Mika Muller. Soon a young piano student, Jeanne Polet, gets the idea that she may be André's daughter. She visits his house in Lausanne, gets to know André's son Guillaume who was born on the same day as she, and starts taking piano lessons from André. Mika Muller keeps serving them her famous hot chocolate, but with some help from a boyfriend conveniently working in a lab owned by Jeanne's mother, it soon becomes obvious to Jeanne that the chocolate doesn't come straight from the family company's production line.
