April Awakens with ARROW Cult Classics and New Thrills

This April, ARROW, the leading cult streaming service, is set to enchant and horrify audiences with an array of unique cinematic experiences. From the offbeat genius of Robert Altman to the 4K restoration of the horror classic Basket Case, and the sensual exploration in Behind Convent Walls, ARROW’s April lineup is a treasure trove for film aficionados and newcomers alike.

Highlighting the month is Robert Altman’s psychosexual chiller, That Cold Day in the Park, a suspense-laden narrative featuring Sandy Dennis in a role that explores sexual repression and obsession. This early work from Altman, vividly captured by László Kovács and set to Johnny Mandel’s haunting score, serves as a precursor to the thematic depth the director would explore in later masterpieces.

Joining the roster in stunning 4K is Frank Henenlotter’s Basket Case, a cult classic that brings New York’s gritty 1980s Times Square to life. This low-budget gem, known for its blend of horror and dark comedy, features the unforgettable Belial, solidifying its place in horror history.

April also offers a foray into the forbidden with Behind Convent Walls, an erotic narrative by Polish provocateur Walerian Borowczyk. This visually arresting film explores the complex relationship between the flesh and the spirit, set against the backdrop of a convent.

Podcast enthusiasts can revel in six new episodes of the ARROW Video Podcast with Sam and Dan, covering a range of topics from David Lynch’s Dune to the monster mayhem of Gamera: Guardian of the Universe, and the martial arts horror of The Boxer’s Omen.

Special curated seasons include Don Coscarelli Selects, showcasing films chosen by the acclaimed director, Regional Horror, highlighting outsider art and independent filmmaking, and Bad Magic, a collection of films where magic leads to terror and mayhem.

Rounding out April’s offerings are thematic collections like Sick Filth Never Dies, Blaze It, and The Kids Aren’t Alright, each presenting films that challenge, entertain, and horrify in equal measure.
