The genre geniuses at Arrow Video have launched their own subscription streaming service, bringing together chilling horrors and cult curios into one platform. This August, with Arrow Video FrightFest going online during the coronavirus pandemic, the streaming platform is bringing back a Dario Argento classic and an unmissable creature feature.

Here’s what’s coming soon to Arrow Video Channel in August 2020:

Lake Michigan Monster – 3rd August

A bonkers, berserk, black and white oddity like no other, that has already been banned in four lakes, the hilariously funny Lake Michigan Monster sees eccentric ship captain and a crew of specialists plot revenge against the most mysterious creature of the deep. Like a cross between The Life Aquatic and Creature from the Black Lagoon, with a splash of Yellow Submarine, Lake Michigan Monster is that rarest of beasts – a wholly original, extraordinarily creative and beguiling directorial debut.

Tenebrae – 3rd August

Horror maestro Dario Argento’s deliciously nasty 1982 giallo horror, with a razor-wielding psycho stalking a bestselling horror novelist in Rome, is erotically-charged, gruesome and graphic, and, with a groovy Goblin score to boot, is one of the director’s best.

The Untamed – 3rd August

A ferociously enjoyable, award-winning mix of Lovercraftian sci-fi and social commentary, from acclaimed director Amat Escalante, about something strange lurking in a cabin in the woods, that delivers proper scares, amplified by some seriously moody sound design.

Inferno of Torture – 3rd August

Tender romance clashes with vile sadism in a sea of tattooed female flesh, in Teruo Ishii’s incredibly provocative and salacious film, that depicts some of the most perverse violence ever captured on screen, and a shock ending that will leave your mouth agape.

The Comic – 3rd August

A barmy, baffling, beguiling and freshly unearthed cinematic oddity, shot on 35mm film, set in a dystopian police state where comedian Sam Coex will kill for his big break!

The Case of the Scorpion’s Tail – 3rd August

The second giallo by genre master Sergio Martino, that combines stunning views of Greece with brutal bursts of violence, a typically tangled script, and a cast overflowing with Euro cult talent, including de Mendoza, Janine Reynaud (Succubus) and Luigi Pistilli (A Bay of Blood).

Black Test Car – 3rd August

Japanese maverick director Yasuzo Masumura helms a bitingly satirical espionage thriller, set in the heart of the Japanese auto industry, in his 1962 landmark film, featuring a corporate war between the Tiger Motorcar Company and their competitors, the Yamato Company.

The Black Report – 3rd August

Masumura’s follow up to Black Test Car, is part crime film, part courtroom drama, about a food company’s boss being killed, and the search for his murderer.
