The Arrow Films / Video Thread
 

That was me...... :)

Like Videodrome it's too good a set to pass up,but like you I'll buy the Amarays as well.
Hopefully be the below reverse covers.:nod:

That it for January Arrow?

They can keep that lot.

Yeah, they're getting enough brass out of me with the Hellraiser and Black Cats boxsets

Actually, I'd like this for Hellbound. Always preferred it for some reason (maybe as it has more than just Pinhead on it).

:lol:

Yeah the thumbheadraiser-forgot about him!

I think I'm most looking forward to finally seeing the mythical "surgeon scene"

Same here, even though, by all accounts, it's a bit crap.

Yeah, everything I've read about it for years led me to believe it wasn't even filmed, including Doug himself confirming this on numerous occasions, so it's probably a dodgy ultra low quality camcorder clip that someone on set filmed :lol:

Yeah, that's what everyone thought. Looking forward to it though.

Hellraiser 2 is abysmal in my opinion. Everything that made the original a very good film was non-existent, a overblown and poorly paced, confusing gory mess.

Get out.

Really surprised a fan if the first wouldn't like the second. Kenneth Cranham's Doctor brought new and welcome levels of darkness and sickness imo. Certainly the first half of the film is the best as we learn what the Doctor is up to etc. Hellraiser III onwards start to get a bit shit though admittedly.

Sorry guys but I didn't like part 3, reading about it I expected the film to be more apocalyptic, you know hell on earth. There's some good ideas but in the end they were trying to make a Freddy/Chucky type film when the previous films weren't like that.

Not interested in Arrow's current line-up.

To be honest my interest in these cult releasing companies is fading. I think it's because most of the films I wanted to see collector's editions of, have already been released, are with companies that don't license (lionsgate for starters) or have gone to companies that don't do special features (god I hate 101 films).

Anyone else feel this way?

No. I'm completely the opposite! Although Arrow are releasing a few things I'm not really in to, others are stepping up to the plate and hitting it out of the park. In just the last week or so I've bought shitloads and over the course of this year I have spent more on films than the last two years put together.

It comes down to what floats your boat. I might look at a release like Thundercrack! and get all excited while to others it's a pile of poo. I do like extra's but if I want a film and the only release is bare bones then that doesn't bother me much. Which is why I probably double/treble dip a lot!!

I think this year has been outstanding for genre fans but my missus would prefer it if they slowed down a bit. Me, I'm in my element ! :lol:

Tell me about it, i work with one lad he 100% puddled and living in a virtual world.
He one of these he never makes sense and you can never understand what he saying or rambling on about, but its never to do with what the conv going on.
He once come into work and he was quiet but in a angry mood and looked like he was ready to cry.
I tried on sev attempts to ask whats wrong to be met with some nonsense rambling, first one was about £800,
2nd nonsense was on about a dragon i said for **** sake what are you on about you are making no bloody sense what so ever.
Eventualy it turned out he was playing a game bought a dragon for £800 (virtual money) by accident, his dragon got killed in its first fight so he was angry and anoyyed at the dragon and thinks he should have his £800 back because he didnt want it in the first place.
He was virtual in tears and he was extremely angry and fuming.

Another time he come into work and complain him and gfriend had split.
Everyone was baffled he hasnt or had a girlfriend so i tried digging deeper.
He been speaking to some lass in france and had been seing each other for ages and now split.
I replied eh hang on you never met, i know he replied, i said if u never met her, you never seen her never kissed her how can that be classed as a relationship, he said ive seen her on webcam we sent each other kisses etc etc no matter what i said i just couldnt through to him.
So i replied well fook me im must be a bad boyfriend and cheat, he asked why i replied well ive been speaking to several women on net from all over the world and i fancy a few of them i feel dead guilty now.
He didnt realise i was being sarcastic.
This is what we have to put up with him everytime were at work.

Only seen the first Hellraiser film and snippets of the second. Im sure scorpio from Dirty Harry fame had a part in the first one.

He he...he sure did, he was pretty integral...provided the first drops of blood for brother Frank (who was played by the same guy that appears in that revolting potting shed scene in Scum)

looooooooooooooooong distance love
 

Met a fair few people staying celibate for "partners" online they'll probably never meet. Dont understand it myself. :confused:

Saddest story i ever read about long distance is a couple from dif countries decided to fall in love and i think the bloke saved up to visit her.

When they met they fell in love and where taking pics of their memories and she stood to close to the mountain edge slipped and fell to her death.

yeah read about that they had only spent one day together when it happened it's like a sick joke.

Donald pleasence film coming from arrow. My money's on prince of darkness or with any luck a Halloween boxset

I'd prefer it to be DEATH LINE or THE MUTATIONS :pop2:

would be nice for it to be something that's not out on blu elsewhere. to be honest i don't think i really want a Halloween boxset, got the shout factory one and if im honest most of the films aren't that good

Death Line is owned by Network.

I'm hoping for Alone in the Dark, although like trebor says anything not already released would be nice.

I'm guessing with Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls getting a single release we won't get a Russ Meyers boxset at any stage.

Apparently Meyers family have the rights and are refusing any offers.

That's disappointing

It would make my day if it's alone in the dark.

Alone in the Dark has been shot down due to it being owned by New Line who are a subsidary of Warner. Therefore, it's more likely for Satan to arrive to work wearing ice skates than for Arrow to release Alone in the Dark, sadly. :(

Might be a stand alone release of TERROR IN THE AISLES. 😁

Prince of Darkness was owned by StudioCanal but its possible they've lost the rights as the dvd has been oop for a while and you'd think they'd have put a blu out by now if they still owned it.

Could it be Monster Club not sure if that had a UK release on Blu Ray i have a US version. Im not a fan of the film so i hope its not. Maybe a Jaguar Lives Steelbook ;)

Id buy it :fear:

Network have Monster Club and they've got a blu out.

Cheers

Phantom of Death?

Shameless title... although anything's possible I suppose where HD rights are concerned! ;)

As for Prince of Darkness, it was last released by Momentum in the UK who seem less than enthusiastic about releasing their back catalogue on Blu-ray.
