ARROW Player’s October Lineup Continues with More Terrifying Treats
ARROW is pulling out all the stops for its October lineup, with a final terrifying wave of releases before Halloween. On October 24, the streaming service is giving subscribers a new restoration of the iconic 80s revenge thriller, Ms. 45. In this film, a mute seamstress in 1980s New York City is pushed to her breaking point after being sexually assaulted twice in one day. Fuelled by her trauma, she decides to take matters into her own hands. She transforms into a vigilante who uses a .45 calibre pistol to take out men who pose a sexual threat. This cult classic is a gritty and powerful film in the same vein as Death Wish and Taxi Driver.
A Trip Back to the 80s
Just in time for Halloween, on October 27, ARROW is taking us back to one of the greatest decades in horror history. Get ready for a triple feature of frights that perfectly capture the wild and weird spirit of the 80s:
- Slugs: The townsfolk of a quiet rural community are dying in bizarre and gruesome ways. As a health inspector investigates, he makes a truly terrifying discovery: giant killer slugs are breeding in the sewers and are making a meal out of the locals.
- Apprentice to Murder: In early twentieth-century Pennsylvania, a young man named Billy Kelly becomes the apprentice to a folk magic healer, Dr. John Reese (played by the legendary Donald Sutherland). The two work together to investigate a mysterious sickness that is plaguing their community, but as the plague spreads, Billy begins to question if they are doing God’s work or the Devil’s bidding.
- Dead-End Drive-In: One of Quentin Tarantino’s favorite directors, Brian Trenchard-Smith, gives us this dystopian cult classic. In a near-future where society has collapsed, the government uses drive-in movie theaters as concentration camps to detain unruly teenagers. This film is a wild ride with a new-wave soundtrack and outrageous stunts.
- Flowers in the Attic: When her father dies, Cathy Dollanganger and her siblings are taken to their tyrannical grandmother’s mansion. She locks the children in an attic, and as their mother becomes increasingly distant, they must fight to survive against their cruel and manipulative family.
- Return of the Killer Tomatoes: This classic horror-comedy is a direct sequel to the 1978 original. After a decade of peace, mankind lives in fear of another uprising by the waxy red menace. But when a mad professor creates a new army of tomato-men, the battle for humanity’s survival begins again.
Get ready for a Halloween season filled with chills, thrills, and more. Head over to ARROW to start watching now. Subscriptions are available for $6.99 monthly or $69.99 yearly.
