I think for me, I am happiest seeing things turn up that I have a passing knowledge of. It's great to see a left field surprise, eg White Fire, but the best releases should have some sort of hook. Ideally of the nostalgic kind.
For me, Kingdom of The Spiders works because I saw it years ago and it messed me up. It has some sort of resonance. I must be the only person about who loves Eurekas Pulse for the same reason.
Equally, if I've heard of a film, a director, or I like the look of the story or it has a reputation then that's cool too. But a blind punt on obscure stuff is a big ask given recent releases. I did that with Black Car and its put me off.
Anyway, it'll be Arachnid.4k UHD box set.
