Arrow Video has announced the March 2025 lineup of its subscription-based ARROW platform. The March 2025 lineup leads with “I Will Never Leave You Alone,” a spine-tingling exploration of trauma from DW Medoff. The cult streamer also brings a Fulci classic in 4K, a collection of haunted house films, a collection of films curated by Kevin Kรถlsch and Dennis Widmyer, and more premiering in March.
ARROW’s March lineup kicks off on March 3 with “Play It Cool.” This little-seen film comes from one of Japan’s most highly regarded directors of the 1960s, Yasuzล Masumura (“Giants and Toys”), a filmmaker known for his social satires and powerful portrayals of women. “Play It Cool” is a chic and erotically charged drama starring popular Japanese singer of the day Mari Atsumi as a college girl negotiating her way through the male-dominated hierarchies of Tokyo’s seductive but treacherous nightclub culture.
March 7 debuts a trio of works all about the seedy underworld and the fight to maintain law and order, exclusively for subscribers in the United States.
- Violent Panic: The Big Crash: Takashi, an expert bank-robber, plans to pull off the biggest heist of his career, stealing 300 million yen before fleeing to Brazil. However, Takashi finds himself alone, and his getaway is foiled when the robbery goes awry. Trailed by the police, his lover, his partner-in-crime’s brother, and countless others, Takashi becomes the target of a manhunt filled with twists, double-crosses and explosive action.
- Heroes Shed No Tears: Eddy Ko stars as Chan Chung, the leader of an elite Chinese commando force enlisted by the Thai government to capture General Samton, a powerful drug lord from the Golden Triangle. After a successful raid on the general’s headquarters, the mercenaries cross into Vietnam and encounter a barbaric colonel (Lam Ching Ying), who is determined to stop them at any cost. Now pursued by both Samton’s henchmen and the colonel’s troops, the heroes flee for the border of Thailand, outmanned and outgunned by their enemies.
- Robocop (TV Series, 1994): Alex Murphy is RoboCop, a cybernetic policeman. A creation of a vast corporation, he fights crime and occasional corporate conspiracy in the near-future of Old Detroit.
March 10 marks the arrival of DW Medoff’s “I Will Never Leave You Alone.” As writer and director, Medoff crafts an innovative and chilling take on the haunted house formula where the psychological and the supernatural collide to terrifying effect. After being released from prison, Richard is allowed to restart his life by a mysterious company offering him five thousand dollars to spend six days in a dilapidated house to cleanse it of evil spirits. His handler assures him this is only to put any potential buyers’ superstitions to rest, and that he has nothing to fear. But Richard’s sojourn is haunted by an inscrutable figure hiding in the dark corners of the house that seems to have a connection with his dark past. As his sinister neighbor’s appearances become more frequent, Richard must confront the terrifying reason that sent him to prison and risk slipping into madness.
ARROW’s Seasons will begin on March 14 with “Most Haunted.” Piggybacking off of the haunted house horror of “I Will Never Leave You Alone,” this collection of cult films features some of ARROW’s most ghost-infested homes. In addition to “I Will Never Leave You Alone,” the collection features titles like “A Ghost Waits” and “Double Face.”
On March 14, ARROW will also debut a trio of films with the themes of murder, mayhem and magic:
- Body Count: New Orleans cops try to capture two ruthless assassins who are trying to avenge themselves against cops who had previously set them up.
- Mirror Mirror: A teenage girl begins receiving black magic power through an antique mirror that drips blood, not realizing the mirror is controlled by demonic forces.
- Mirror Mirror 2: Raven Dance: The discovery of a demon mirror sets off a bizarre series of “deadly accidents” when a young girl and her brother are caught in an intricate web of evil and deceit.
On March 21, as winter melts away, death blooms on ARROW with the arrival of three horror titles:
- Blood Theatre: An old movie house plagued with a history of unexplained tragedies is reopened with bloody history repeating itself.
- Mausoleum: A 10 year-old girl, mourning the death of her mother, becomes possessed by a demon, who has been preying on her female ancestors for centuries. Years later, the demon starts to take over her, mentally and physically.
- Slaughterhouse: The owner of a slaughterhouse facing foreclosure instructs his obese and mentally disabled son to go on a killing spree against the people who want to buy his property.
March 21 also marks the arrival of Kevin Kรถlsch and Dennis Widmyer Selects, a collection of films curated by the co-writers and directors of “Starry Eyes” and the co-directors of the 2019 adaptation of Stephen King’s “Pet Sematary.” Titles in the collection include “The Gore Gore Girls,” “My Sweet Satan,” and “Deadbeat at Dawn.”
On March 24, Lucio Fulci’s 1972 giallo thriller, “Don’t Torture a Duckling,” will make its 4K premiere on ARROW. When the sleepy rural village of Accendura is rocked by a series of murders of young boys, the superstitious locals are quick to apportion blame, with the suspects including the local “witch”, Maciara (Florinda Bolkan; “A Lizard in a Woman’s Skin”). With the bodies piling up and the community gripped by panic and a thirst for bloody vengeance, two outsiders – city journalist Andrea (Tomas Milian; “The Four of the Apocalypse”) and spoilt rich girl Patrizia (Barbara Bouchet; “The Red Queen Kills Seven Times”) – team up to crack the case. But before the mystery is solved, more blood will have been spilled, and not all of it belonging to innocentsโฆ Deemed shocking at the time for its brutal violence, depiction of the Catholic Church and themes of child murder and paedophilia, “Don’t Torture a Duckling” is widely regarded today as Fulci’s greatest film, rivalling the best of his close rival Dario Argento.
The March lineup comes to a close with new treats strictly for subscribers west of the Atlantic Ocean.
On March 28, cross blades with “Samurai Wolf” and “Samurai Wolf II.”
In “Samurai Wolf,” Isao Natsuyagi stars as Kiba, a charismatic ronin who wanders into a small town and ends up ensnared in a local conflict that becomes increasingly treacherous. After dispatching a pair of highway criminals seen robbing a courier wagon, Kiba agrees to assist a beautiful blind woman who runs the local shipping company. Double- and triple-crosses ensue, illustrated with savage but economical violence courtesy of famed director Hideo Gosha (Three Outlaw Samurai, Violent Streets). The result is a lean and mean triumph of samurai cinema, cementing Gosha’s status as a master of the genre.
In “Samurai Wolf II,” Natsuyagi reprises his role as the charismatic ronin Kiba, once again entangled in a complex web of intrigue, involving a crooked goldmine owner, a cynical swordsman, and an arrogant dojo master. Master filmmaker Hideo Gosha brings his trademark tight pacing and stylish action to this brisk morality play, inevitably punctuated by the explosions of violent swordplay beloved by fans of the genre.
On March 31, close out your month on ARROW with an icon of the genre and its recent legacy sequel:
- I Spit On Your Grave: An aspiring writer is repeatedly assaulted, humiliated, and left for dead by four men she systematically hunts down to seek revenge.
