Just had a quick look at the Dar Water blu and I am sad to say it is in my eyes one of the worst blu rays I have ever seen - so smeary and lacking any great sharpness you would expect from a bluray.

Hi,

I am currently looking into selling my Arrow Video blu ray collection and thought I would see if anyone was interested on here first, I think the retail value is somewhere near £1500 and with the ups and downs of the rarity of releases it could be higher or lower. I believe I have every white box release except for King of New York.

Blu ray titles of note.

Hellraiser - Scarlett boxset
Dawn of the Dead - white box
Zombie Flesh Eaters - steelbook
Zombie Flesh Eaters - white box
Videodrome - limited edition boxset
Demons - black box
Demons 2 - black box
Necromantik - limited edition boxset
Society - limited edition boxset
Battles without Honour or Humanity - limited edition boxset

DVD's of note.

Savage Streets
Street Trash

At last.... The Burning turned up.

Overkillingtime; I have 27 of Arrows White Box Slipcase -4 cover option releases but I don't think King of New York came out on that format. I could be wrong though, I often am, but someone on here will know for sure.

Any help guys???

Hey Reaps, has yours turned up today?

Yes, they were going to add it to the white slipbox releases but changed their minds meaning that there is some semi-official mock-up art floating around the web for it but it never got an official release.

Nos and Biz, thank you.

Both my sale orders are apparently shipped but I never got a notification. Happy to know they're shipped, but man what is going on Arrow

Edit: Both shipped on the 4th as well!!!! 5 days after my order, for the middle of a sale that's probably record time from Arrow!! I should be expecting them after the weekend, but man I wish they'd let me know. Ah well, all the more exciting it's sooner than i expcted

We are pleased to announce the separate Blu-ray and DVD releases of this Richard Kelly modern classic

Release Date: 9th January 2017

I WANT YOU TO WATCH THE MOVIE SCREEN. THERE’S SOMETHING I WANT TO SHOW YOU.

Fifteen years before Stranger Things combined science-fiction, Spielberg-ian touches and 80s nostalgia to much acclaim, Richard Kelly set the template – and the high-water mark – with his debut feature, Donnie Darko. Initially beset with distribution problems, it would slowly find its audience and emerge as arguably the first cult classic of the new millennium.

Donnie is a troubled high school student: in therapy, prone to sleepwalking and in possession of an imaginary friend, a six-foot rabbit named Frank, who tells him the world is going to end in 28 days 06 hours 42 minutes and 12 seconds. During that time he will navigate teenage life, narrowly avoid death in the form of a falling jet engine, follow Frank’s maladjusted instructions and try to maintain the space-time continuum.

Described by its director as “The Catcher in the Rye as told by Philip K. Dick”, Donnie Darko combines an eye-catching, eclectic cast – pre-stardom Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal, heartthrob Patrick Swayze, former child star Drew Barrymore, Oscar nominees Mary McDonnell and Katherine Ross, and television favourite Noah Wyle – and an evocative soundtrack of 80s classics by Echo and the Bunnymen, Tears for Fears and Duran Duran. This brand-new 4K restoration, carried out exclusively for this release by Arrow Films, allows a modern classic to finally receive the home video treatment it deserves.
