Arrow Video has announced its January 2021 lineup for its subscription-based ARROW platform.
The lineup begins with the exclusive ARROW launch of the inaugural ARROW Shorts Collection: a selection of entries from Arrow Video’s Horror Lockdown Shorts contest, judged by genre film veterans Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead. A testament to resourcefulness and creativity amidst the uncertainty of the global pandemic, the ARROW exclusive collection features burning passion in UnTooned, the disturbing aftermath of The Wedding Ritual, bad bears in Toys, a break-in gone terribly wrong in Stagnant, a neon Giallo homage in A Date with Death, the paranoid and claustrophobic Insecticide, chills in The Drawing, obsessions in The Garden, the sleepless nightmare of first-time parenthood in Night Feed, and the unseen dangers of online shopping in Silent & Deadly.
ARROW has also announced Loved to Death, an assortment of titles that show the price of passion: murder, enchantments, mayhem, and gore. Featured titles include Anna Biller’s mesmerizing The Love Witch, punches for love in Tokyo Fist, dark and depraved passion in We Are the Flesh and Orgies of Edo and the quirky heated drama Toys are Not for Children.
The streaming platform will also debut Short on Time, ARROW’s collection of compelling shorts and features that grip audiences fast and furiously, with every feature under 75 minutes. Featured titles include Patrick Picard’s hauntingly atmospheric The Bloodhound, Herschell Gordon Lewis’s groundbreaking splatter films Blood Feast and The Gruesome Twosome, and Shinya Tsukamoto’s cyberpunk Tetsuo: The Iron Man. The shorts include Roadkill: The Last Days of John Martin and A Hot Night at the Go Go Lounge.
January will also introduce Scottish director Lynne Ramsay’s We Need to Talk About Kevin, a riveting adaptation of Lionel Shriver’s bestseller about an ambivalent mother attempting to connect with her disturbing son, who has battled her since his birth. At 15, Kevin committed a heinous act, leaving his mother Eva to face her own guilt and grief, as well as scorn from their neighbors and former friends. Featuring a BAFTA-nominated performance from Oscar-winner Tilda Swinton, and a chilling breakthrough from Ezra Miller as Kevin, We Need to Talk About Kevin is a dark exploration of nature vs. nurture and a masterful blend of drama and horror.
As the new year gets into full swing, ARROW invites you to own up to your sins as January 11th sees the arrival of Ban this Sick Filth Presents: Pray for Forgiveness with a sinful selection of films for you blasphemous heretics including Beyond the Door, Killer Nun, Children of the Corn and Mark of the Devil.
On January 18th, ARROW let loose a rabble of pintsized ruffians who are badly behaved and baying for blood with Little Monsters, featuring We Need to Talk About Kevin, Bloody Birthday, Blood Rage and Madhouse.
School is in session on January 22nd with Make-Up Effects Masterclass – stare in awe at the best examples of hand-made artery-gushing, flesh-peeling practical effects with Re-Animator, Bride of Re-Animator, Creepshow 2 and Island of Death.
