Variety is reporting on a partnership between Shudder and Arrow Video

"Shudder is partnering with Arrow Video to bring several of its movies to physical media

The horror-themed streaming service has signed a deal with the U.K.-based media company to produce limited-edition physical releases of eight films from its expansive catalog of films. The titles that will be released are: Ole Bornedal's "Nightwatch" (1994), Rob Jabbaz's "The Sadness" (2021), Joseph Winter and Vanessa Winter's "Deadstream" (2022), Christian Tafdrup's "Speak No Evil" (2022), Michelle Garza Cervera's "Huesera: The Bone Woman" (2022), the Adams family's "Hellbender" (2021), Bornedal's "Nightwatch: Damons Are Forever" (2023) and Jennifer Reeder's "Perpetrator" (2023)

"Hellbender" is the only film being released exclusively in the U.S

"Nightwatch," "Demons Are Forever" and "Perpetrator" are all receiving a dual release in the U.S. and U.K., and the remainder of the films are currently only being released in the U.K

All films are being released in limited-edition Blu-ray sets, but "The Sadness" will additionally be released in 4K. Although formal release dates haven't been finalized, Arrow said that the first titles in its partnership with Shudder will debut in the summer of 2025

"Arrow's stellar work is a staple of our shelves. To see Shudder films get the treatment is a privilege and a delight," said Shudder vice president of programming Sam Zimmerman in a statement. Arrow sales and marketing director Dean Lawson indicated that the deal expanded an earlier partnership the company brokered. "After years of working with the AMC team licensing many films from the Arrow Video catalogue for the vaunted Shudder platform, it’s fantastic to now showcase a selection of their Originals on physical media in 2025."

Arrow Films is one of the most active, and pedigreed, independent physical media companies in the world. If the market for Blu-rays and 4K discs is shrinking, you wouldn't know it by their library, which counts everything from classic giallo films ("Don't Torture a Duckling") to 1980s and '90s hits ("Sixteen Candles," "Demolition Man") to contemporary independent genre films (Mary Dauterman's "Booger," D.W Medoff's "I Will Never Leave You Alone"). All of those titles have been carefully translated to the best-available technologies and packaged with beautiful artwork (much of it original) and loads of bonus materials.

About Shudder, the AMC Networks' offshoot delivers not only unique contemporary genre programing, but expertly-curated repertory content, drawing from the history of horror across the globe. Shudder releases approximately 30 films per year, and has helped develop and distribute a series of groundbreaking and critically acclaimed titles, including Jayro Bustamante's Golden Globe-nominated "La Llorona," visual effect guru Phil Tippett's long-gestating pet project "Mad God," Coralie Fargeat's first feature film "Revenge," Kyle Edward Ball's cult phenomenon "Skinamarink," Chris Nash's "In a Violent Nature," Colin and Cameron Cairnes' "Late Night With the Devil" and more."

Nightwatch is a great film, so would be good to have a copy of that. It's a shame that Hellbender is US only because I really liked that. It has a UK DVD from another company so I assume they have the rights still.

I caught Hellbender when it was show on an episode of The Last Drive-in, really enjoyed it too.

So... looks like The Cell is screwed then. Would have been nice to find out before the day it was due to drop through the letterbox. What's wrong with Arrow these days?

[Demdike@Cult Labs]

Reading elsewhere it seem the bonus disc on Inglorious Basterds won't play on any Panasonic player.

Arrow are refusing to correct this issue.

Glad to have seen this before I bought it! I have a Panasonic 4k player?

I have no issues with this as i'd never buy it.

After that excellent opening scene it goes downhill rapidly. I've only kept the dvd because it's a limited edition box with window artworks you can change the cards for.
