Evil Dead Rise Trailer is Here and It’s Gruesome! (2024)

Welcome to June! There’s so much on the hopper for Arrow that I just have to give you, my friends, the hot goss.

June 2nd: Paul Joyce Documentaries

June 2ndkicks off the month withARROW’slatest curation of Paul Joyce documentaries, this time looking at legendary filmmaker John Cassavetes, straight from the mouth of his friend and collaborator co-star Peter Falk (Columbo) inOut of the Shadows: The Films of John Cassavetes.

After a six year directing hiatus, Monte Hellman sat down with Paul Joyce and just talked for an hour while Joyce filmed. The result isPlunging on Alone: Monte Hellman’s Life In a Day.

June 2nd: the wild world of Ero Guro

What is Ero Guro? Well, the Japanese sub-genre of horror and pink films Ero Guro combines the erotic (ero) and the grotesque (guro) to deviant, decadent and unforgettable effect.ARROW’sEro Guro collection features the unholy trinity of core Ero Guro films, Teruo Ishii’sShogun’s Joy of TortureandHorrors of Malformed Menand Yasuzo Masumura’sBlind Beast, plus plenty more exciting, explicit and enticingly depraved delights to delve into.

Titles Include:Shogun’s Joy of Torture, Blind Beast, Irezumi.

June 6th: Warriors Two (US/CA)

After making his directorial debut with the intense The Iron-Fisted Monk and firmly solidifying his worth at Golden Harvest, Sammo Hung would be given more creative control behind the camera. Now able to inject more of his own personality, Hung would bring to life the more upbeat (yet only slightly less violent) Wing Chun cult classic:Warriors Two!

Predating the Ip Man tetralogy by three decades – as well as Hung’s ownThe Prodigal Son(starring Yuen Biao as the younger incarnation of Leung Tsan) by a few years –Warriors Twois one of the earliest films to authentically portray the teachings of Wing Chun while also delivering the kind of kinetic and pulse-pounding fights synonymous with the name Sammo Hung!

June 16th: Eli Roth Selects (UK/IRE/US/CA)

Splatter icon Eli Roth takes a stroll through the archives withEli Roth Selects (UK/IRE/US/CA).“I absolutely love Arrow and have been a collector of their editions for years, and Arrow Player is the most streamed channel in my house. I’ve seen a lot of Select lists, and while I agree with them, I wanted to highlight some that people might have otherwise overlooked.”

Titles Include:Basket Case, Contamination, Madhouse.

June 19th: Toru Murakawa’sGame Trilogy (UK/IRE/US/CA)

Made at the end of the 1970s, Toru Murakawa’sGame Trilogylaunched actor Yûsaku Matsuda as the Toei tough guy for a new generation. Matsuda was the definitive screen icon of 1980s until his career was tragically cut short by cancer at the age of 40, following his Hollywood debut in Ridley Scott’sBlack Rain.

The Most Dangerous Game(UK/IRE/US/CA):In this career-defining triptych, Matsuda is Shohei Narumi, an ice cool hitman of few words, a steely trigger finger, and a heart of stone, hired in The Most Dangerous Game by a company bidding for a lucrative government air defence contract to take out the competition.

The Killing Game(UK/IRE/US/CA):Narumi finds himself caught in the midst of violent yakuza gang warfare, while his own brutal past catches up with him in the form of two beautiful women still bearing the emotional scars of his past assignments.

The Execution Game(UK/IRE/US/CA):Narumi falls for a mysterious saloon bar chanteuse who may or may not be part of the same, shadowy underworld organization as the rival hitmen he is employed to rub out. (I’m assuming the tough-guy way and not the sexy way)
