If it is Irezumi it actually sounds pretty good. This is from imdb: "Shinsuke and Otsuya, his boss' daughter runs away to get married, but they are betrayed by the inn owner, Kenji. Otsuya is sold to Tokubei's brothel. Seikichi, a mysterious tattoo artist puts his masterpiece, a human-faced spider, on her back. She and her lover are then forced into a conspiracy-born nightmare, where they face the danger of becoming the very evil they seek to escape. With each new bloody incident, the spider's face seems to redden with ever-growing hunger." It sounds a lot more interesting than Shatner in a cabin with spiders, although tbh I'd like to see that too PS Arrow surely have to do Blind Beast soon - a must have, totally batshit crazy film |

Each too their own.

I think for me, I am happiest seeing things turn up that I have a passing knowledge of. It's great to see a left field surprise, eg White Fire, but the best releases should have some sort of hook. Ideally of the nostalgic kind. For me, Kingdom of The Spiders works because I saw it years ago and it messed me up. It has some sort of resonance. I must be the only person about who loves Eurekas Pulse for the same reason. Equally, if I've heard of a film, a director, or I like the look of the story or it has a reputation then that's cool too. But a blind punt on obscure stuff is a big ask given recent releases. I did that with Black Car and its put me off. Anyway, it'll be Arachnid.4k UHD box set. |

May be possible that the family have cashed in and sold to a bigger company. Doesn't neccessarily mean they're in trouble.

another possibility (not that im expecting it to be) is that the image could be relating to a collection of Nu Image's spiders flick's. You know the ones that have been rereleased more times than battle Royale. Just i noticed another company (i think it was mediumrare) was releasing the crocodile films that nu image made so just wondering if the other creature features they did been sold to other uk distributers (yet again). As for Arrow, well let's face it they've been going downhill longer than a year before covid struck. I agree that it was arrow that got me back into buying special edition of genre movies after anchor bay's collapse and i certainly glad that they did release other stuff beyond Italian b movies and 80's slasher flicks (i was over the moon when mgm started to license their back libary), but at the same time there's no been enough variety or films of interest for me to be buying them just because of a brand label. |

I'd be thrilled if it was Irezumi, which I reviewed on DVD completely blind some fourteen years ago, and it was a really startling experience: Quote:

Having said all that, I would prefer it if the title in question turned out to be Black Belly Of The Tarantula.
