It will be a ‘Gialloween’ At ARROW In October

Hallow’s Eve is creeping closer and ARROW in October will have something  truly terrifying lined up for us. Promising  a month that will be a ‘Gialloween‘ ,a season of shocking Giallos, the return of a J-horror master. There will also be two electrifying anthologies, shot-on-video madness, a David Friedman drive-in gem, two Argento classics, Rue Morgue Selects…

Giallo sub genre may not always be the first choice for the most chilling month of the year.  Gialloween is a curated collection showcasing the very best of Italian horror already lying in wait for you on the service. Featuring Dario Argento classics like the notorious video nasty Tenebrae, his genre-defining The Bird with the Crystal Plumage and Deep Red, alongside a host of other classic Giallo titles, don’t miss this chance to learn more about this iconic era of horror.

Also in October, new and exclusive on  the streaming channel will be Sana and its sequel Sana: Let Me Hear, superbly suspenseful new J-horror from legendary director Takashi Shimizu. Over two decades since he terrified the world with Ju-On: The Grudge, Shimizu delivers a genuinely chilling reminder of why he’s one of the defining voices of J-Horror. Sana, starring J-Pop supergroup ‘Generations from Exile Tribe‘ playing fictionalised versions of themselves, and Sana: Let Me Hear, starring former NMB48 member Nagisa Shibuya in her feature film debut. Together, the films remix the genre’s celebrated hallmarks in a way that wouldn’t feel out of place in a playlist of the classics, while also exciting new viewers. You won’t get them out of your head!

October continues with the seriously spooky – dive into the ultimate omnibus of horror with Three and the sequel Three… Extremes. A trio of ghostly tales of terror, each from a different country, forms the anthology Three, directed by South Korean filmmaker Kim Jee-woon (A Tale of Two Sisters), Thai filmmaker Nonzee Nimibutr (Nang Nak), and Hong Kong filmmaker Peter Ho-Sun Chan. Initiated by acclaimed Hong Kong producer and director Peter Ho-Sun Chan, the film would prove highly influential in its innovative approach to pan-Asian horror, and lead to the shockingly compelling sequel, Three… Extremes, directed by Fruit Chan (Made in Hong Kong), Park Chan-wook (Oldboy), and Takashi Miike (Audition).

There’s not much that can prepare you for the 80s shot-on-video favourite, Boardinghouse. John Wintergate’s crazy trash classic was one of the first full length SOV films – and for that alone deserves its place in film history. Bleeding Skull declares “this is an entertaining and important film”. Book into this boardinghouse early and remember to leave a review on TripAdvisor!

There’s another offbeat classic in October. Featuring a new restoration is She Freak, a reworking of Tod Browning’s Freaks from exploitation producer David F. Friedman (Blood Feast). A warped tale of life, love, and revenge on the grounds of a seedy carnival. Directed by Byron Mabe, and written by Friedman, it features a feisty performance from Claire Brennan and an ending you’ll never forget.

Also streaming in October: Gripping horror All You Need is Death, about a mysterious and dangerous folk ballad, Takeshi Miike’s ghostly J-horror Over Your Dead Body, Larry Fessenden’s modern day retelling of Frankenstein in Departed, macabre psychological drama Family Dinner, and a hilarious and bloody comedy horror A Most Atrocious Thing.

Seasons in October include:
Rue Morgue Selects, where the editorial team at the leading horror film magazine make their ARROW Halloween picks, including Spider Baby, Pulse and Calvaire.

Gialloween, a chance to spend this Halloween with stylish black-gloved killers who leave a trail of dead bodies in order to cover up crimes of passion, including Tenebrae, Deep Red and The Killer Reserved Nine Seats.
