Valentine’s Day At Arrow Video Channel WIll Be A ‘Killer’

Will you remember to get your other half a Valentine’s card? Maybe treat them to ARROW Video Channel in February which promises to be a ‘Killer’ line-up.

Next month includes a high school slasher chiller, a pair of classic 1960s Japanese assassin actioners, a brilliantly crafted paranoid thriller about a reunion from hell, a season of vampiric Valentine’s, horror film director Jenn Wexler chooses her ARROW favourites, and much more.

First off is a UK channel exclusive, the premiere of the fantastic comedy horror thriller, a Scream for the 21st century, Killer Graduation. Starring Ignacio Diaz-Silverio (Primo) as a bullied highschooler pitched against a killer targeting his classmates. A cross between Happy Death Day and Heathers, with a dash of Stephen King-esque psychic powers at play, Killer Graduation is the feature debut of director Clare Cooney, and gives the teen slasher a fresh new coat of blood with its inventive plot and sassy LGBTQ+ vibe.

Everyone is invited to a dinner party and  Karyn Kusama’s outstanding thriller The Invitation. It stars Logan Marshall-Green (Upgrade) as a man attending a dinner party thrown by his ex-wife, where nothing is quite what it seems. Tense, taut, and steadily building to an unguessable and devastating climax.

Also in February, A Certain Killer and A Killer’s Key – directed by prolific Japanese director Kazuo Mori (Zatoichi at Large). Both made in 1967, and featuring Raizô Ichikawa (Conflagration) as a former soldier who becomes a hitman for a yakuza gang. Co-scripted by the director Yasuzō Masumura (Giants and Toys, Blind Beast), and featuring masterful scope cinematography with an expressionistic eye for colour by one of Japan’s most esteemed cinematographers, Kazuo Miyagawa (Rashomon, Ugetsu), these are two Japanese crime drama essentials you shouldn’t miss.

ARROW also presents Caverna, a fantastical film directed by Daniel Contaldo and Hannah Swayze, about two students being pushed to their limits at an Italian theatre workshop. Asked to explore their innermost thoughts, the film delves deep into the pair’s psyches, revelling in surreal, intense and astonishing visuals. Watch out for the rampaging cyclops!

Also streaming in February: Rick Sloane’s celebrated cult classic sci-fi comedy horror Hobgoblin and its riotous follow up; genre legend Clint Howard in in the gloriously gruesome Ice Cream Man; acclaimed breakdance documentary Shake the Dust; and the provocative, hilarious and uniquely wonderful 1960s satire Putney Swope, directed by Robert Downey Sr.

Seasons in February include: Love Sucks, a collection of vampiric Valentine’s delights including Vamp, A Taste of Blood, and Vampire Clay.

Jenn Wexler Selects, where the award-winning writer, director and producer picks the films from the ARROW catalogue that have changed the core of her being, including Noroi: The Curse, The Deeper You Dig, and The Addiction.
