Not to be missed in May on the expertly curated cult streaming service ARROW – Pandemonium, a unique cinematic blend of fantasy, drama and humour, exclusive to ARROW, a gruesome horror classic from Tobe Hooper, and Jack Hill’s western short The Host and his unique and disturbing gem Spider Baby. Plus, superb shorts, director Jennifer Reeder chooses her favourite ARROW titles, and the exquisite and Jules Dassin’s influential film noir Rififi.
In May, exclusively on ARROW, the brand new title Pandemonium, from French director Quarxx (All the Gods in the Sky.) Prepare to be taken on a chilling journey, as three interconnected stories unravel in this macabre exploration of tales depicting fallen souls. From the intricacies of everyday drama to the realms of supernatural intrigue, each narrative weaves a haunting tapestry that blurs the lines between the mortal and the supernatural. Be the first to experience Pandemonium, only on ARROW!
Also in May, best to check Tripadvisor before you book into the Starlight Hotel, the setting for legendary horror director Tobe Hooper’s mouth-wateringly nasty Eaten Alive. The man behind The Texas Chain Saw Massacre piles on the shocks in this superb slice of Southern gothic starring Chain Saw star Marilyn Burns, Robert Englund (A Nightmare on Elm Street) and Neville Brand (Without Warning).
And be sure to experience the peculiar delights of Spider Baby, the first solo feature by exploitation legend Jack Hill (Coffy, Switchblade Sisters, Foxy Brown), and a film self-proclaimed as ‘the maddest story ever told’, starring Lon Chaney Jr. in one of his most memorable late career performances.
This May also gives you the chance to enjoy a seminal work of crime filmmaking, Jules Dassin’s Rififi, declared by François Truffaut as “the best Film Noir I have ever seen.” An influence on films including Reservoir Dogs and Ocean’s Eleven, the film nabbed Dassin the best director prize at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival and features a wonderful central performance from Jean Servais as a master thief planning one final job.
