Autumn is here, and soon November will be here. At Arrow Video, it will be ‘SSSSSSMOKIN’! Jim Carrey mayhem in 4K, nasty shocker, Connery and Kilmer on other planets, and even Oscar Oscar-winning film from Billy Wilder starring Jack Lemmon.
Buckle up for hi-def comedy chaos – Jim Carrey is at his outrageous best in The Mask on Limited Edition 4K UHD and Limited Edition Blu-ray from 10th November. From the director of Eraser, The Blob and A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 3: Dream Warriors comes a wildly inventive live-action comic book adaptation with Looney Tunes flair, and one of the most iconic comedy films of the 1990s. With groundbreaking visual effects, off-the-wall humour and non-stop energy, The Mask, also starring Cameron Diaz, is now available in a new director-approved 4K restoration and packed with smokin’ bonus features.
Next in November, Outland on Limited Edition 4K UHD, where writer-director Peter Hyams (Capricorn One, 2010, The Relic) takes classic Western tropes off-world and into the future in sci-fi thriller Outland, starring Sean Connery as a federal marshall assigned to keep the peace on a distant moon. A chillingly prophetic depiction of corporate greed and exploitation, with muscular direction from Hyams and a stellar performance from Connery, and a brand new restoration that is out of this world.
Next up, prepare yourself for Speak No Evil, on Limited Edition Blu-ray, Debuting at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival, Christian Tafdrup’s Speak No Evil, co-written with his brother Mads, is a shocking psychological horror film which stunned audiences and critics alike. Last year we got a Hollywood remake starring James McAvoy. Driven by incredible performances and a menacing score , Tafdrup’s Danish original expertly blends a dark comedy of manners with an ominous sense of dread – escalating towards a truly terrifying climax that reveals the horrors that lie await in the face of complicity and silence.
Also this month, Deadly Friend on Limited Edition Blu-ray. Fresh from creating an all-time horror icon when he introduced the world to Freddy Krueger, director Wes Craven once again returned to the world of sinister suburban secrets with Deadly Friend, a tragic tale of teen love and technological terror. Nightmares don’t just happen on Elm Street! Deadly Friend stars Kristy Swanson (the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer) as the titular deadly friend and Matthew Labyorteaux as the twisted teenage Frankenstein who cannot let her go.
Val Kilmer (The Doors) and Carrie-Anne Moss (The Matrix) headline the sci-fi adventure Red Planet, on Limited Edition 4K UHD, an exciting glimpse into a future where humankind’s last hope for survival rests on escaping the bounds of Earth and colonising the cosmos. With a stellar supporting cast including Tom Sizemore and Terence Stamp.
Finally in November, The Apartment, on Limited Edition 4K UHD. In 1960, following the success of their collaboration on Some Like it Hot, director Billy Wilder (Ace in the Hole, Sunset Boulevard) reteamed with actor Jack Lemmon (Grumpy Old Men) for what many consider the pinnacle of their respective careers: The Apartment. Featuring a wealth of Hollywood’s finest talent on both sides of the camera at the top of their game (with Fred MacMurray and Shirley MacLaine in the cast) Wilder’s masterpiece now shines like never before in this stunning 4K UHD presentation.
