From selected seasons, witches, slashers, and home invaders, there’s plenty to get scared about this June from Arrow, the art of cult.
From selected seasons, witches, slashers, and home invaders, there’s plenty to get scared about this June from Arrow, the art of cult. With films such as Re-Animator, Elvira: Mistress Of The Dark, Momma, Straw Dogs: The Final Cut, and The Mutilator, there’s plenty to keep gorehounds entertained throughout the month. Arrow Video is excited to announce the June 2024 lineup of their subscription-based ARROW platform. Available to subscribers in the US, Canada, the UK and Ireland. Enjoy a selection of new titles. From carefully cultivated curations to shorts by new talent to deep dives into the tastes of filmmakers that changed the way we see the genre.
QUARXX SELECTS
The Seasons kick off June 3 with Quarxx Selects (UK/US/CA/IRE), a selection of titles from Quarxx, the creative mind of May’s key title, Pandemonium.
“As a filmmaker, I am constantly drawn to films that defy convention and take audiences on unexpected journeys. My favourite titles reflect my passion for unique genre cinema that pushes boundaries and explores the uncharted territories of storytelling. Each film on this list holds a special place in my heart for its distinctiveness, originality, and the way it challenges conventional norms.
Each film on this list represents a distinct facet of my cinematic sensibility, reflecting my love for bold, daring storytelling and my fascination with the limitless possibilities of the medium. These films have left an indelible mark on me as a filmmaker, inspiring me to push boundaries and explore new creative horizons in my own work.”

INDIE SHORTS
The June 14 celebration of indie film continues with the release of a quartet of thought-provoking shorts (all UK/US/CA/IRE).

On June 21, go back to the 1980s with a pair of films from Nico Mastorakis.
The Time Traveller (1984, UK/IRE/US/CA): Mastorakis shows a more thoughtful side in The Time Traveller. Where the widow (Adrienne Barbeau, The Fog) of an astronaut and her young son come across a mysterious man (Kier Dullea, 2001: A Space Odyssey) with uncanny powers on a beach in Greece.
Sky High (1985, UK/IRE/US/CA): The wacky Sky High sees three American jocks on holiday in Greece being handed a tape by a mysterious figure. Who begs them to not let it fall into the wrong hands before being shot by an unseen assassin.

MORE MASTORAKIS

Glitch! (1988, UK/IRE/US/CA): Glitch! sees two bumbling burglars whose attempt to throw the house party of the century in the luxury home of a Hollywood producer is foiled by a group of mobsters determined to collect what the producer owes them. No matter what.
