Arrow Announces November Releases

The November lineup leads with the ARROW release of Michael Venus‘ dream-based nightmare Sleep on November 1st.

As invested in substance and story as he is in style, Venus claws his way down to the roots of what haunts a people, a community, a nation, and comes up screaming. ARROW Stories will be home to a number of exclusive extras this November. Sleep includes a host of newly created extras including behind-the-scenes and festival featurettes.

Filipno Action-Horror ‘Circle Of Bones’ Is Out Today

Circle of Bones, a Filipino independent horror-action film written and directed by award-winning filmmaker Vincent Soberano, is out now. International action star Sarah Chang stars alongside Jana Victoria, Marela Torre, Ian Ignacio, and Epy Quizon, with a cameo of the Philippines’ iconic actor Joel Torre. The film is based on Vincent Soberano’s unpublished book, “Yawa” – tales of local superstitions and modern-day urban legends of the Visayas region. Set on the picturesque island of Panglao, Bohol, the story is told by a lone survivor of a mysterious cult suspected of mass murders and human sacrifices. In the film, when the Filipino police investigate the lone survivor from a series of bizarre and macabre cult murder-sacrifices that has left a trail of bloody, dismembered bodies and bones, they find a former American FBI agent living in seclusion – disfigured, traumatized and mentally unstable. Her accounts of supernatural events, demonic possessions, ancient prophecies, and child sacrifices only sound too incredulous, where lines
