That doesn't account for FFP on the list so I wonder what that could be? Perhaps it's been delayed?

The guy loves to spoil official announcements.
Once it's in the public domain (usually as a result of a retailer accidentally revealing it early) it's fair game, and a legitimate scoop. It's annoying for the label, but there's nothing they can do except tighten up procedures at their end.

There'd be more of an ethical issue if he'd got his info from hacking into Arrow's servers or being told something in strictest confidence, but that's not the case here.

Rob. Girls Nite Out is awful. Seriously. I have it on a Shriekshow triple dvd set along with Blood Sisters and One Dark Night.

It's not sleazy, it's not absurd (in any good way) and i certainly wouldn't waste a single penny on it.

This is one thrill less, anaemic, sorry excuse for a slasher film. The killer wears a dancing bear costume with huge doe eyes, which done with a bit of competence could have made for a weirdly creepy killer. Sure it's a daft costume but so is the big bunny suit in The Bunnyman Massacre films, yet that works, albeit in a grungy low budget sort of way.

The film lacks any real blood or shock value of any kind due to a script that's far too interested in the inane drunken ramblings of the students on show than it is in ramping up anything resembling tension.

The acting is just so-so with nobody coming across as any sort of hero or heroine, and the only star on offer is Hal Holbrook who sleepwalks through proceedings as he's on the phone behind a desk for 90% of his screen time.

This was the second time i've watched this and i still can't figure out the title and it's relevance to whats on show as a large portion of the film focuses on guys and there is no girls night out at all.

Aw, that's a shame. Was yours the full version Dem?

From imdb alternate versions

The UK version is known as The Scaremaker. Even though the film isn't full of gore, it is cut by 16 seconds. Some of the cuts are:
Benson's stabbing is cut, you see him stabbed once before dieing.
The murder of Jane, in the squash court. It shows the bear attack, then cuts to her all bloody, none seen coming out a wound.
Doesn't focus on Jane's body hung up in the shower's.
Trish's death in the Summer House is cut, not as much blood is seen. and
The ending where the killer stabs Teddy, who is trying to help Dawn, it is not seen, so it is left unclear what has happened.

Yeah, Shriek Show were an American company specialising in stuff like Nazisploitation, cannibals and general all round gruesomeness.

NEW US/CA TITLE: 'One-Armed Boxer' (Blu-ray) Limited Edition Blu-ray - $28:00

Release date: May 24th

"When former Shaw Brothers executive Raymond Chow founded rival studio Golden Harvest in 1970, he quickly teamed up with “Jimmy” Wang Yu – Hong Kong’s first kung fu superstar and formerly Shaw’s biggest box office draw. Bringing over his peerless talent for taking on all foes with one hand tied behind his back, Wang wrote, directed and played the title role in one of his most unmissable kickass classics. From the legendary star of One-Armed Swordsman and The Chinese Boxer comes… One-Armed Boxer!

Yu Tian Long (Wang) is the best fighter to come out of his local martial arts school, but when he crosses the ruthless leader of a local crime syndicate, the big boss’ brutal bevy of deadly killers make mincemeat out of the school and everyone inside. Now the only survivor of the massacre, and short of one appendage, Yu is gifted a powerful elixir that promises to give him the strength to take swift revenge on the army of assassins, each representing the most lethal forms of fighting from across the Eastern hemisphere.

Proving once and for all that you only need five fingers of death to get the job done, Wang would later reprise his role in the infamous sequel Master of the Flying Guillotine, but it’s the dementedly inventive original where he’s arguably at the height of his powers."


Special Features:

NEW UK: 'Candyman' (Limited Edition 4K UHD)

Arrow RRP: £30:00

Release date: May 23rd

"Dare you say his name five times? From the chilling imagination of horror master Clive Barker (Hellraiser, Nightbreed) comes Candyman – one of the greatest horror movies of the ‘90s, now newly restored on 4K UHD from Arrow Video.

When grad student Helen Lyle (Virginia Madsen) begins working on a thesis about urban legends, she comes across the terrifying tale of the Candyman – a vengeful, hook-handed spirit who can be summoned by saying his name five times in the mirror. As her research leads her into the bowels of Chicago’s deprived housing projects and deeper into the Candyman’s world, Helen learns that some legends are best left well alone.

Expertly directed by British filmmaker Bernard Rose (Paperhouse) and boasting an astounding score by composer Philip Glass, Candyman ingeniously reworks Clive Barker’s original short story “The Forbidden” (originally published as part of his groundbreaking Books of Blood series) into a modern horror parable that remains as timely today as ever."

NEW UK TITLE: Enter the Void (Limited Edition Blu-ray)

Arrow RRP: £25:00

Release date: May 30th

"Eight years after the controversial and shocking Irreversible, director Gaspar Noé cemented his reputation as the enfant terrible of New French Extremity with perhaps his most challenging film to date – a hallucinatory meditation on life, death and rebirth, shot entirely in the first person.

American siblings Oscar (Nathaniel Brown) and Linda (Paz de la Huerta, The Limits of Control) eke out a shared existence in Tokyo – he by dealing drugs, she by working as a stripper. However, tragedy strikes when a deal turns sour and Oscar is shot by the police. As his lifeless body lies on the floor of a public toilet, his soul floats high above the neon-drenched Tokyo streets, observing the effect of his death on his sister and reliving the events in his life that brought him to this juncture.

Described by Noé himself as a “psychedelic melodrama”, Enter the Void boasts mesmerising cinematography by the award-winning Benoît Debie (Climax, Spring Breakers) and a hypnotic soundtrack of experimental and electronic music. Powerful and transcendent, it offers viewers an immersive cinematic experience like no other."


Special Features:
  • High Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentations of both the 143-minute UK theatrical cut and the full-length 161-minute director’s cut
  • Original lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 and PCM 2.0 stereo soundtracks
  • Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing
  • Enter the Sensorium, a brand new visual essay on the film by author and critic Alexandra Heller-Nicolas
  • Brand new video interview with typography designer and long-term Noé collaborator Tom Kan
  • 8 deleted scenes
  • Archival Making of – Special Effects featurette
  • Archival Vortex featurette
  • Archival DMT Loop featurette
  • French and international theatrical trailers
  • 8 teaser trailers
  • 3 unused trailers
  • Image gallery
  • Limited edition packaging with reversible sleeve featuring two choices of artwork
  • Illustrated collector’s booklet featuring new writing on the film by Jon Towlson and Rich Johnson, and an oral history of the film by Steven Hanley
  • Fold-out double-sided poster featuring two choices of artwork
  • Six double-sided, postcard-sized artcards

NEW UK TITLE: 'Lux Æterna' (Limited Edition Blu-ray)

Arrow RRP: £18:00

Release date: May 30th

"Gaspar Noé, the arch provocateur of New French Extremity responsible for Irreversible and Enter the Void, blurs the boundaries between reality and fiction in Lux Æterna, his ode to the suffering and sacrifices involved in the creation of art.

French cinema icons Charlotte Gainsbourg (Ismael’s Ghosts, Antichrist) and Béatrice Dalle (Betty Blue, Inside), playing themselves, star as the lead actress and the director of an experimental film about witches. But as preparations for the shoot get underway, the increasingly chaotic production slowly unravels as egos and bitter resentments rise to the surface, threatening to derail the entire enterprise.

Shot over just five days and largely improvised by the superlative cast, Lux Æterna is a powerful, hypnotic assault on the senses like no other, cementing Noé’s position as one of the most incendiary voices in cinema today."


Special Features:
  • High Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentation
  • Original lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 and PCM 2.0 stereo soundtracks
  • Optional English subtitles (French dialogue)
  • Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing (all dialogue)
  • Brand new audio commentary by author and critic Kat Ellinger
  • Brand new visual essay on witchcraft in cinema by author and critic Miranda Corcoran
  • The Flicker, a 30-minute short film by Tony Conrad, whose strobing effect inspired Lux Æterna
  • Lux in Tenebris, a selection of photos from the set by camera operator, title designer and long-term Noé collaborator Tom Kan
  • Theatrical trailers
  • Image gallery
  • Reversible sleeve featuring two choices of artwork
  • FIRST PRESSING ONLY: Illustrated collector’s booklet featuring new writing on the film by Neil Mitchell
