Arrow - The Guardian's Label of the Year

[Nosferatu@Cult Labs]

Best label
Arrow

It's often the smaller-funded labels that do the best work. Arrow has released marvellous discs of many of cinema's classics, such as Bicycle Thieves, Rififi and Les Diaboliques, but it's for their horror releases that they truly excel. The more respectable directors like George A Romero and Dario Argento get their due here, but Arrow also pull out all the stops for such (unfairly) lesser regarded Gore-teurs as Lucio Fulci and Frank Henenlotter. Blu-rays of Fulci classics The Beyond and City Of The Living Dead show that the films are far more atmospheric and better made than they ever appeared before, and for Henenlotter (with the imminent Frankenhooker disc) you get extensive extras that cover the rarely examined scene of low-budget New York film-makers and the lost grindhouses of Times Square and 42nd Street.

Does this mean we are becoming 'respectable'?

Now that deserves celebration! Well done to Arrow for all their hard work - very well deserved!

Congratulations to High Rising Productions, who make the Arrow Video horror releases so special and are a big reason for this award.
