Where are all the Superbitch, Island of Death, Midnight type of releases?

Any of the films you listed above could also have quite easily been released by the major companies you also listed.

I just think its a shame that's all.

I guess in this economic climate distributors can ill afford to take multiple risks with a quarterly release schedule and most look at the films which will likely shift multiple units and support their future so they can take a punt on 'risky' titles, such as those three you listed.

Yes, I had the postcard in one of their recent releases.

Perhaps had this place been called Mainstream Labs they would have stopped on board.

Not to be a curmudgeon but I feel this year and with some of next year's titles Arrow have gone from strength to strength with their releases and choices 90% of the time. Yes, I would be over the moon if they licensed more films for UK consumers along the lines of say what Raro and Kino tend to release Stateside, but so long as releases like Lifeforce and the De Palma films keep coming along I'm more than grateful for the fact that for the average consumer, they can now pick up films often treated immensely poorly on DVD.
