It looks like Arrow are promoting FrightFest at the Glasgow film festival "The annual FrightFest trip to Scotland for FrightFest Glasgow as part of the Glasgow Film Festival has been confirmed. We look forward to returning in person for three days on the 10th, 11th and 12th of March 2022." Tickets  "Thursday night on March 10th kicks FrightFest off with a stand-alone ticket presentation of the blockbuster thriller currently cleaning up at the Russian box-office. The Execution is based on one of the Soviet Union's most contentious crimes concerning a miscarriage of justice and the gruesome exploits of a brutal serial killer. This UK premiere is a transfixing blend of vendetta horror and neo-noir which keeps the plot tangled until the blood-soaked finale. Want to explore your darkest nightmares? Then join us as FrightFest's two-day event kicks off on Friday with the Scottish premiere of supernatural horror The Cellar, from Brendan Muldowney, the critically acclaimed Irish writer/director of Pilgrimage fame. Then we have the World premiere of the extraordinary thriller A Cloud So High. The feature directing debut of Christoper Lee Parson is an astonishing high-wire act, a thriller stylised to maximum overload for a uniquely unsettling viewing experience. Next up is the UK premiere of Homebound, a creepy and atmospheric chiller in The Innocents tradition, marking the debut feature from director Sebastian Godwin, a 'Screen International Star of Tomorrow'. This is followed by the UK premiere of extraordinary contemporary fable, You Are Not My Mother. Rooted in eerie Irish folk horror, this quirky doppelganger mystery marks the arrival of the hugely talented writer/director Kate Dolan, who has been listed as one of Ireland's leading emerging creatives under 30. It's time to take a hellish, blood-soaked, breakneck-paced, thrill ride into joyous Ozploitation 1970s as the evening climaxes with the UK premiere of Wyrmwood: Apocalypse, the long-overdue sequel to the spectacular 2014 FrightFest Glasgow hit. Emerging genre talent continues to shine in Saturday's programme and the first film on show is the UK premiere of Mandrake, an impressive demonic crime thriller by Lynne Davison, making her impressive feature debut. Davison was mentored through the 'Women in Film and TV UK' initiative by Suffragette and Rocks director Sarah Gavron. Hold on tight for the next presentation - the UK premiere of Howard J Ford's mountain-top pulse-pounder The Ledge. The director of Never Let Go has conjured up another suspense-filled, deadly cat and mouse game thriller that will have you holding on to your seat for safety. This is followed by the UK premiere of Some Like It Rare, an outrageous gory, black comedy written and directed by French humourist Fabrice Eboue. The evening programme opens with the International premiere of Monstrous, directed by FrightFest veteran favourite Chris Sivertson (The Lost, I Know Who Killed Me and co-director of All Cheerleaders Die). This unique supernatural thriller stars the iconic Christina Ricci, who unleashes an emotionally powerful performance. If Fellini directed Schindler's List as a superhero adventure the result would be the next presentation, the Scottish premiere of Freaks Out. This astonishing epic fantasy extravaganza comes from Gabriele Mainetti, director of the Italian blockbuster They Call Me Jeeg Robot, who will be attending the festival. This year's feast of fearsome frights ends with the Scottish premiere of the blood-spattered vampire spoof, Let The Wrong One In. Starring Anthony Head, director Connor MacMahon has crafted a wonderfully silly and ridiculously rude horror comedy for Shaun of the Dead fans."

The Rogue Cops and Racketeer set looks great.   Over a long and wide-ranging career, director Enzo G. Castellari (Keoma, The Inglorious Bastards) helmed some of the most infamous of all the poliziotteschi – the gritty, action-packed crime films that proliferated in Italy throughout the 70s. Buckle up for a heart-stopping thrill ride through the seedy underbelly of Italian society in two of his most celebrated thrillers! In 1976’s The Big Racket, Inspector Nico Palmieri (Fabio Testi, What Have You Done to Solange?) is hot on the heels of a gang of ruthless racketeers. Realizing he’s not going to get anywhere within the confines of the law, Nico recruits a crack squad of civilians to dole out their own brand of justice. Then, in 1977’s The Heroin Busters, rule-flouting cop Fabio (Testi) goes deep undercover, chasing a globe-trotting ring of drug-smugglers suspected to be operating out of Rome. But can he and Mike Hamilton (David Hemmings, Deep Red), an Interpol agent with a hair-trigger temper, stay one step ahead of the criminals long enough to bring them down from the inside? Featuring death-defying stunts, explosive shoot-outs and a pair of addictive, toe-tapping soundtracks courtesy of the De Angelis brothers (Torso) and legendary prog rock group Goblin (Suspiria), these two films represent the crème de la crème of the Italian crime thriller, both making their high definition debuts with stunning new restorations in this feature-packed box set from Arrow! 2-DISC LIMITED EDITION CONTENTS - Brand new 2K restorations of both films from the original 35mm camera negatives by Arrow Films - High Definition Blu-ray™ (1080p) presentations - Original Italian and English front and end titles - Restored original lossless mono Italian and English soundtracks - Newly translated English subtitles for the Italian soundtracks - Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing for the English soundtracks - New audio commentaries on both films by critics Adrian J.

NEW US/CA TITLE: The 8 Diagram Pole Fighter (Blu-ray) Release date: April 5th Arrow RRP: $28:00 "After one of its lead actors (cherub-faced action icon Alexander Fu Sheng) unexpectedly died midway through production, master director Lau Kar-leung (The 36th Chamber of Shaolin) retooled his latest martial arts epic, The 8 Diagram Pole Fighter, as the ultimate action spectacular in tribute to the fallen star. Loosely based upon the legendary Yang dynasty chronicled in Chinese folklore, the film starts as the family patriarch and all but two of his sons are brutally wiped out in a bloody battle. One surviving son (Fu Sheng) returns to his mother and two sisters, deeply traumatized; the other (Gordon Liu) escapes and joins a nearby monastery while in hiding. Once he learns his sister (Kara Hui) has been captured by their enemies, however, the warrior-turned-monk realizes he must renounce his peaceful ideals in order to mount a rescue mission and avenge his family. Made during the legendary Shaw Brothers studio's twilight years as a filmmaking powerhouse, The 8 Diagram Pole Fighter is often regarded as director Lau’s masterpiece, as elegiac and suffused with anguish as it is thrillingly violent (not least in its bone-crunching, teeth-smashing climax)" Special Features:
First Pressing Only: Illustrated collectors' booklet featuring new writing on the film by Terrence J. Brady  Also available with the original cinema artwork
