First-time feature director Patrick Picard brings a fresh take to one of the best-known stories from the master of mystery and the macabre, Edgar Allan Poe, The Fall of the House of Usher, in his new slow-burner horror-thriller The Bloodhound, a hauntingly atmospheric tale described by The Hollywood News as “an impressively stylish and intellectual debut”.

From Leal Naim and Thomas R. Burke, producers of The Endless and Synchronic; and featuring some remarkable performances from its trio of lead actors, The Bloodhound leads you on a journey exploring themes that are as relevant to today as ever before, such as the yearning for emotional connection, the perils of social isolation and the fragility of mental health.

Francis ( Aiken), a dispossessed young man, is summoned to the secluded home of his wealthy childhood friend, JP Luret (Adler), who is suffering from a mysterious affliction. Upon his arrival, Francis realizes that JP and his ethereal twin sister Vivian ( Basso) are the sole surviving members of the privileged Luret family, whose legacy has been one of depression and self-destruction, and the only occupants of their family estate. As the old friends attempt to reconnect, a number of inexplicable incidents begin to occur within the house, and Francis finds himself drawn into a world of malaise and despair, where an act of betrayal might provide his only way out.

Adapted from Gevargizian’s acclaimed short film of the same name, The Stylist follows a lonely hairdresser who becomes obsessed with the lives of her clients and descends into murderous madness. The cast includes Najarra Townsend (Contracted), Brea Grant (Lucky, Beyond the Gates), and Millie Milan (Bonehill Road).

Arrow Video hopes to release the film theatrically in the UK in early 2021.

Additionally, Arrow Video has acquired all rights in multiple territories on A Ghost Waits and Clapboard Jungle, two of the best-received films from this year’s Arrow Video FrightFest festival. Starring MacLeod Andrews (Doctor Sleep, They Look Like People) and Natalie Walker, A Ghost Waits follows a young man employed to clean a house, only to find out it’s haunted and the spirit wants him out.

Arrow Video has acquired all rights for multiple territories including UK, Eire, US, Canada, South Africa, NZ and Australia for A Ghost Waits.

Clapboard Jungle follows five years of director Justin McConnell’s life and career path to get a feature film made. Featuring interviews with filmmaking legends including Guillermo del Toro, Paul Schrader, George A. Romero, Larry Fessenden, Frank Henenlotter and more, the doc has been met with huge acclaim from festivals around the globe, including Fantasia, Sitges and Arrow Video FrightFest.

Arrow Video has acquired all rights for the UK, Eire, NZ and Australia, and additional home video rights for Canada for Clapboard Jungle.

Arrow Video is planning digital and physical releases for both titles in Spring 2021.

So, Who’s excited?
