Watched a bunch of ArrowVideo titles that I've been buying like mad.
Night Child - brilliantly atmospheric Italian movie with a surprise appearance by a 1970's BBC headquarters building.
Squirm - everything you want from a b movie creature feature; good characters, decent acting, funny, great physical SFX and shower scenes with a cute redhead. Why am I only watching this now?!
The Car - "Jaws only with a car instead of a shark" does sum it up well. I thought this was an incredible movie, brilliantly shot and played straight (I hear the director worked on the twilight zone) so ends up having a ton of genuinely creepy moments. Pretty much everything I wanted the Christine movie to be (love the book, loathe the movie, which always pains me to say as I adore the rest of Carpenter's filmography excluding that movie on Mars that everybody pretends doesn't exist).
Arrow really make it an easy label to collect, all make safe "blind buys" IMO.
