Crime Doesn’t Pay In August At ARROW
QUEER BODY HORROR, A KOREAN GANGSTER CLASSIC, AN EERIE FOLK-TALE, JOHN TURTURRO & MORE
It would be criminal to not catch these must-see movies streaming on ARROW this August. A month that includes an outrageous LGBTQ road-trip shocker, a brutal crime thriller from Kim Jee-Woon, a disturbing feral kids chiller. Not forgetting the John Turturro’s wild The Big Lebowski spin-off.
First in August, exclusively on the channel is Swallowed. This is a no- holds-barred body horror about a pair of pals on a drug-smuggling run that goes seriously awry. From writer/director Carter Smith (The Ruins), and starring Neon Demon’s Jena Malone, Cooper Kock (Erik Menendez in Monsters), and Mark Patton from A Nightmare on Elm Street 2.
Next in August is A Bittersweet Life, a magnificent revenge classic from Kim Jee-woon (I Saw The Devil), starring Lee Byung-hun (The Good, The Bad, the Weird, The Squid Game) as the gangster who learns the hard way not to disobey his boss. Bold, brutal, and brilliantly directed, this is Korean crime cinema at its finest.
Do not miss The Seeding, a nerve-shredding folk-horror debut from Barnaby Clay, featuring a fantastic lead performance from Scott Haze (Jurassic World: Dominion) as a man trapped in the desert at the mercy of feral kids and a mysterious woman (Kate Lyn Sheil, You’re Next). The Seeding is superbly shot by Robert Leitzell (Black Bear), and has an eerie, atmospheric score from Tristan Bechet.
And there’s even more horror in store with She Came From the Woods, an Eighties-set summer camp slasher that delivers laughs, scares and some good old fashioned blood-drenched practical effects.
Also streaming at ARROW in August is The Jesus Rolls, written, directed, and starring, the great John Turturro. The actor reprises his role from The Big Lebowski in a riotous road movie with Bobby Cannavale (Boardwalk Empire) and Amelie’s Audrey Tautou.
