Arrow Video’s November lineup includes the UHD debut of the fantastic horror comedy Tremors 2: Aftershocks and Inside the Mind of Coffin Joe, with all-new restorations of bizarre and incredible films of legendary Brazilian horror auteur José Mojica Marins.
The releases feature brand new restorations, in-depth commentaries and video essays, fascinating documentaries, limited edition packaging, booklets, fold-out posters, art cards and reversible sleeves.
First in November, Tremors 2: Aftershocks – six years after Tremors first tunnelled its way into audiences’ affections, the original creative team returned for an equally edge-of-your-seat sequel that would pave the way for a long-running franchise by adding some new twists to everyone’s favourite slimy subterranean slitherers! Starring Fred Ward, Helen Shaver and Christopher Gartin, the film reprises the same mix of nail-biting horror and rib-tickling humour that made the original film so beloved. The brand new 4K restoration makes this creature feature pop like never before, on Limited Edition UHD, as well as an Arrow Store Exclusive UHD Limited Edition, and Limited Edition Blu-ray which all come with a booklet, posters and highly-desirable packaging.
November also sees the release of the unmissable box set Inside the Mind of Coffin Joe. With his iconic long fingernails, top hat and cape, Zé do Caixão (Coffin Joe) was the creation of Brazilian filmmaker José Mojica Marins, who wrote, directed and starred in a series of outrageous movies from 1964 to 2008. Collected here are At Midnight I’ll Take Your Soul, This Night I’ll Possess Your Corpse, The Strange World of Coffin Joe, The Awakening of the Beast, The End of Man, When the Gods Fall Asleep, The Strange Hostel of Naked Pleasures, Hellish Flesh, Hallucinations of a Deranged Mind and Embodiment of Evil. Newly restored from the best available elements and packed with new and archival extras, Inside the Mind of Coffin Joe is a love letter to one of the great iconoclasts of horror, who forged his films in the face of military dictatorship and religious censorship to become Brazil’s national Boogeyman.
This lavish and lurid six-disc collection includes commentaries, interviews, alternative film titles and endings, an illustrated collector’s book featuring new writing, reversible sleeves with newly commissioned artwork, a double-sided fold-out poster and 12 postcard-sized double-sided art cards.
