It keeps getting better and better

I asked about this randomly on Facebook and Arrow surprised me by saying they had plans for this one. No indication of when it would be released though.

So the list currently stands at:

Phantom of The Paradise
Sisters
White Of The Eye
Pit Stop
Remo
Hell Came To Frogtown
The Beast Within
Nightmare City
The Burbs
Caliber 9
Theatre Of Blood
Abominable Dr Phibes
The Delta Force
Whitnail & I
Hellgate
Cheeky!
Mark Of The Devil
Perversion Story
Five Dolls for an August Moon
Frivolous Lola
The Pit And The Pendulum

Shit Arrow better slow down, that looks like half a years worth of announcements!!

I think Frivolous Lola was the other erotic title.

That it was, thank you!

Thought they'd released it, but they haven't.

Someone just reminded over at blu-ray.com, that apparently they are releasing The Pit And The Pendulum, and possibly going through the Corman/Poe's in chronological order.

Nope, longest version there is on DVD..even the US Anchor Bay disc was a little shorter.

Great if it really is, how the BBFC have moved on....passing a nearly 45 year old film :rolleyes:

MotD is showing as part of an all nighter in Leicester Square later this month, perhaps that'll be unadulterated too.

New Arrow Announcements...
 

I thought Arrow said on Facebook that they wanted to do Perversion Story, but the rights weren't available?

FRIVOLOUS LOLA was released by Arrow Films in 2001 in its softer English "producer's cut".

Jeez... has a Russian billionaire bought Arrow instead of a football club or something:lol::lol:
Fantastic line up, must have cost a s**tload of cash, or they scored a really good deal.

The guy from arrow at grimm said body double is being strongly considered. My mate was strongly lobbying for a superstition bd release.

When they said they would be able to get more titles from ditching the slipcases, I never thought it would lead to this is a million years!!

An early review of TCM2

Cannibal Reviews: Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2

It's an impressive list of future Arrow titles, I had to look a good few of them up on IMDB because I'd never heard of them! I hope theres a few surprises in the mix too and a bit more Euro Cult, I expect some more Bava's too as it's already been said Arrow intend to release all of Bava's films on Blu or DVD.

Glad I never bought that Scream Vincent Price set!

This may be just me rambling, but I wouldn't be surprised if Arrow and Scream got many of the same titles from MGM in their respective deals, but with different provisos regarding when they can release them in each territory. We've already seen some overlap, but it wouldn't be surprising to see Arrow release more of Scream's catalogue and vice versa.

This is the main reason why I've held off from much of Scream's stuff, so far. I'm not going down the avenue of double-dipping again like I did with DVD, and would rather wait it out on certain titles.

I would say that getting similar titles released both sides of the pond is a good thing. If there are more quality UK releases this side of the pond then more sales to arrow and with more success that can be turned over into more titles..

I can see my wallet's gonna take a bit of a hammering with all these new Arrow releases. Looking forward to just about everything mentioned! :nod:

Oh,wow. Mark Of The Devil. This is a definite for me. Awesome news. :cool:

Still pinching myself at the news it'll be uncut.

Yeah, great news! I'm a big Mark of the Devil fan, and have been ever since having it seized and confiscated by customs when I tried to import the uncut VHS from Holland years ago. I've got a Dutch DVD at the moment, but will definitely be getting the Arrow BD/DVD when it's released. :nod:

With all the love for Mark Of The Devil, seems not many knew about the announcment.

So I went back and found the announcement, which was the basis for an new blog series Arrow is doing about how to make a release, and only the first part, the acquisition is up.

The Video Deck: How to make an Arrow Video: Acquisition

Nice, Arrow have really turned things around lately, I'm a bit annoyed though that I've asked twice on Facebook if the new Tenebrae steelbook will have a new English audio track (as the current one is as crap as the picture), and they haven't responded.

Not suprised considering the amount of shit they're getting from Facebook fans for using Zavvi.

Huzzah! A new League of Gentlemen commentary for Theatre of Blood :woot: . . .

Before rumours start running rampant, this has not been confirmed! The specs for this release haven't been drawn up yet.

Oh right. Reece Shearsmith seems to think it's happening, according to his twitter . . .

Soon @markgatiss,@dysonjeremy,Steve Pemberton and I will record the commentary on the DVD release by @ArrowFilmsVideo of "Theatre of Blood".

He does indeed, but it hasn't actually happened yet - and I'm always superstitious about announcing things that aren't already in the can, for obvious reasons.

Not least because I've seen it happen time and time again that people build up an idealised fantasy version of a release in their head and then berate the actual release for not measuring up, even though the label never actually claimed to be offering any of these extra features!

Bit late with reading these threads, but have to put my two cents in: I own both the French disc and the Arrow and they are, as these two chaps say, night and day. Completely different.

I watched the Arrow originally and even then was shocked at the horrendous noise. Putting the French disc in was like watching a spanking new, proper blu ray version - albeit one with forced subs as has been mentioned (but there's ways around that if you have the means).

There's really no debate: Arrow's original release is a shocker.

Hopefully, Arrow will put things right with their forthcoming remastered edition of Tenebrae. I was tempted to buy the Arrow Blu on its original release, I'm glad I held off after reading all the negative reviews. All I have at present is the Dutch A-Film DVD, so definitely need an upgrade.

The New Arrow release is using the same transfer as the french one. So without the forced subs and with all the extras the Arrow release should be the best release on the market. Definitely picking it up. :pop2:

Wasn't there a weird visual glitch on the French release of Tenebrae? I can remember reading something about it on its release.

If so, hopefully Arrow's version will correct the issue.

I didn't notice anything on my copy.:)

Me neither..

They are? Good. Then time to get rid of the French one.

I don't mind that they're re-releasing. Yes, it's effectively admittance to a mistake as someone mentioned before, but better corrected and re-released than not at all. Arrow's releases are effectively getting better, so hopefully things like this won't happen again.

The Long Goodbye

New Arrow Announcements...
 

Saw the news on Facebook about the 58? minute conversation with Gould and Muchael Connelly. As if this release wasn't already a must buy, then they go and add this. Excellent!

Given Arrows post Zombie flesh-eaters record they are rapidly improving. Hell if not for the boat cock up that would have been perfect (and now fixed it is.)

I honestly dont mind if they go back over previous releases and have another go. The troubles they were having prior seemed to be down to shoddy equipment at the italian labs, a theory supported by the excellent quality of their US releases.

I think there used to be an attitude that any release was better than nothing at all, and that if the only master available was a badly compromised one then so be it (to be fair, that attitude was by no means restricted to Arrow and several companies still have it), but it's clear from customer reactions that that's no longer sustainable.

Standards at Arrow are vastly higher now than they were three or four years ago - they've hired some really good people (in addition to the deservedly acclaimed James White, encoder extraordinaire David Mackenzie is handling a lot of their discs now), and take things like QC much more seriously. And indeed rejecting substandard masters at an early stage, even if it means scrapping entire releases.

I've QCed the vast majority of their recent releases myself, and have spotted and fixed mistakes that might well have ended up on the final release before - most recently an audio problem with Invasion of the Body Snatchers that did end up on the US BD!

I have mentioned before and hell why not, I will mention again.........the 1975(James Caan) Rollerball I feel is right for Arrow to be looking into. It has everything that a cult movie release is about and I know that extras if obtainable are abundant and there certainly is room for more.

Anyone with me on this one? :)
