Not to be missed in July on the expertly curated cult streaming service ARROW – a horrifying hike into madness in Loop Track, zany comedies from Nico Mastorakis, a Stephen King short, meaty Italian crime drama from Gomorrah Season 5, and more.
In July, exclusively on ARROW, Loop Track, an electrifying journey into the unknown from Kiwi writer-director and actor Tom Sainsbury, his latest collaboration with Chillbox Creative. Known for his comedic flair in such works as Wellington Paranormal and Guns Akimbo, Sainsbury stars as a hiker whose solo trek in the New Zealand bush takes a very unexpected turn. A gripping and tense psychological thriller, that deftly explores the subjects of isolation and paranoia, Loop Track intertwines thrilling scares with moments of off-kilter humour. Don’t miss this unforgettable experience – that lingers in the mind well beyond the closing credits.
July also sees six more episodes from Series 5 of the hard-hitting Italian crime drama Gomorrah. The drug war between Ciro and Genny reaches boiling point, leading to an explosive finale that brings this epic saga of the Camorra crime syndicate to a fitting and brutal end.
Short films in July include David Yorke’s comedy horror Eric, about a dog that is not all it seems; Julia Marchese’s I Know What You Need, based on the Stephen King short story; and Bryan M Ferguson’s Earworm, about a gnarly tape cassette-dwelling worm.
Lastly in July on ARROW, a pair of outrageous comedies from Greek director Nico Mastorakis – Ninja Academy, featuring a snotty rich kid, a clumsy geek, a paranoid survivalist, two beach joggers, a cool secret agent and a mime, at the titular a martial arts school; and The Naked Truth, where Mastorakis pays cheeky homage to a certain Billy Wilder film, with two friends deciding to pass as women and pose as makeup artists for a local beauty pageant to elude a vicious mafia boss.
