ArrowDrone! Arrow Keeps On Releasing!!!

Arrow Video is growing! In September 2011 Arrow Video's kid brother, ARROWDROME launches with a slice of cult films in new editions. Following Arrow Video's stylish design, these bitesize editions feature reversible sleeve artwork and booklets about the film and filmmakers, ARROWDROME editions are an easy and affordable way to expand your cult film library. Forthcoming releases include films by Juan Fortuny, James Glickenhaus, Dario Argento and more!

The stylish artwork will feature different colours for different genres so you can arrange your collection accordingly.

To kick things off, ArrowDrome's first releases will be in the horror and action genres with:

The Man with the Severed Head





and McBain





Forthcoming releases will have a yellow logo for gialli and pink for erotic titles (and possibly a couple more), but those will be announced in the next few months, so there are exciting times ahead!


If you want to pre-order these, they are available  from arrowfilms.co.uk.

McBain

The Man With the Severed Head

ALMOST HUMAN

      


Maestro of mayhem Umberto Lenzi (Cannibal Ferox, Oasis of Fear) takes you on a tour of Italy's mean streets with this hyper-violent, ultra-sleazy, 1970s crime classic. Shameless Screen Entertainment proudly presents Almost Human restored and uncut.

Tomas Milian (Designated Victim) stars as Giulio Sacchi, an unhinged petty crook who aspires to criminal greatness. With his gang of assorted weirdos, Sacchi shanghais the pretty young daughter of a wealthy businessman, but hardboiled cop Grandi (Henry Silva - Escape From the Bronx) is in hot pursuit. The dogged detective is all that stands between the gang and the ransom but he'll need to be quick because his dastardly foe may not be able to resist the nubile body of his teenage hostage!

Almost Human is a fast-paced Lenzi crime thriller that features music from Ennio Morricone and a level of sleaziness that's atypical for the genre. If you like your cops badass and your villains badder, this is a high octane, edge-of-the-seat experience you will not want to miss!
