Giallo and Great Whites Take Centre Stage in Arrow’s New Releases

Arrow Video’s March 2025 releases promise a treasure trove of cult cinema, featuring everything from gory giallo to shark-infested waters and a Japanese gem making its international debut. With restored classics, genre-defining hits, and packed collector’s editions, this line-up is a must for film fans.

The headline release is Lucio Fulci’s Don’t Torture a Duckling, arriving on 24 March in a pristine 4K restoration. Considered Fulci’s masterpiece, this 1972 giallo blends mystery and horror with biting social commentary. Following a series of child murders in a superstitious village, journalist Andrea (Tomas Milian) and socialite Patrizia (Barbara Bouchet) uncover shocking secrets. With its brutal violence and critique of the Catholic Church, Don’t Torture a Duckling is both provocative and essential viewing. Arrow’s edition includes a collector’s booklet and reversible sleeve, perfect for fans of Italian cinema.

On 3 March, Brian De Palma’s Dressed to Kill arrives in a Limited Edition 4K UHD. This neo-Hitchcockian thriller, featuring Michael Caine, Angie Dickinson, and Nancy Allen, is celebrated for its stylish set-pieces and daring themes. Following a murder witnessed by a high-class escort, the film delves into psychological darkness with a lush Pino Donaggio score to heighten the tension. Packed with archival and new features, this release offers fans a definitive look at De Palma’s controversial classic.

Renny Harlin’s Deep Blue Sea resurfaces on 17 March in both 4K UHD and Blu-ray editions. This adrenaline-fuelled shark thriller stars Samuel L. Jackson, Saffron Burrows, and LL Cool J, with genetically engineered predators wreaking havoc on a flooded research facility. Known for its high-stakes action and dark humour, the new edition includes a 60-page booklet, a double-sided poster, and more, celebrating one of the most entertaining shark movies ever made.

Another standout is The Terminal Man, arriving on Blu-ray on 10 March. This 1974 techno-thriller stars George Segal as a scientist undergoing experimental brain surgery, only to spiral into violence. Directed by Mike Hodges and based on Michael Crichton’s novel, the film explores themes of technology and control. Featuring a new commentary and essays, Arrow’s release breathes new life into this cerebral masterpiece.

Rounding out the line-up is Yasuz? Masumura’s Play It Cool, making its home video debut outside Japan on 3 March. Set in Tokyo’s nightclub scene, this 1960s drama follows Yumi, a young woman navigating a world of danger and desire. Starring Mari Atsumi, the film offers a sharp critique of societal norms while delivering a gripping story. Arrow’s release includes a new high-definition transfer, a video essay, and a collector’s booklet.

Arrow Video continues to cement its reputation as a champion of genre cinema with this carefully curated slate. Pre-orders are available now, with releases spanning 3 March to 24 March.
