Denne her var røget i den forkerte tråd, så jeg poster den også lige her, så den er nemmere at finde igen.
UK - Exorcist II: The Heretic (1977) 2 x BD limited edition - få film har nok skuffet så mange som John Boormans udskældte opfølger til William Friedkins blockbuster-succes The Exorcist (1973). Produktionen rendte ind i en masse problemer undervejs, og de fleste er i dag enige om, at resultatet bare ikke er særligt godt.
Det er efterhånden seks år siden, at Shout! Factory udsendte en collector's edition på BD i USA, der gav mulighed for at reevaluere filmen, og nu kommer Arrow så endeligt med deres bud på en udgivelse.
Arrows udgave indeholder ligesom SF's gamle udgivelse to versioner af filmen - den originale 118 minutter udgave, der blev vist ved den amerikanske biografpremiere, og den 103 minutter lange international version.
Alle extras fra Shout! Factorys udgivelse er blevet overført, og Arrow har desuden tilføjet to nye kommentarspor, hvoraf det ene bl.a. er med filmhistorikeren Lee Gambin, der døde for nylig.

Exorcist II: The Heretic limited edition udkommer på BD i UK den 7. oktober.
UK - The Exorcist III (1990) - 4K UHD limited edition - hvis Boormans livtag med Eksorcisten-franchiset ofte regnes som seriens svageste film, så er der til gengæld bred enighed om, at William Peter Blattys Eksorcisten III er en af de bedste. Ja, nogle mener endda, at den er fuldt på højde med originale, hvis ikke endda bedre.
Her er der tale om en ren 4K-opgradering af den limited edition, Arrow allerede har udsendt på BD for flere år siden.
Man får selvfølgelig igen både filmens biografudgave og den længere "director's cut," hvor man har forsøgt at genskabe filmen så godt som muligt i forhold til Blattys oprindelige planer for den.

US/ CAN - Hellraiser: Quartet of Torment - 4 x 4K UHD limited edition/ 4 x BD limited edition/ 4 x 4K UHD webstore exclusive limited edition - den flotte Hellraiser: Quartet of Torment-digipak var en af sidste års største udgivelser for Arrow med sine flotte nye transfers af de fire første Hellraiser-film og en eksklusiv bog med masser af materiale fra Clive Barkers personlige arkiv. Den blev da også lynhurtigt udsolgt, næsten inden den nåede at udkomme, fordi den i første omgang kun udkom i UK.
Men ligesom med Arrows gamle Hellraiser-boks, så er det åbenbart alligevel lykkedes dem at skaffe de amerikanske og canadiske rettighederne til filmene her et år efter, og derfor får alle dem, der ikke fik fat i boksen oprindeligt nu endnu en chance.

Det hele kommer i en flot digipak. Hvis man ikke er interesseret bogen eller digipak-indpakningen, så kan man dog allerede nu købe en billigere boks bare med filmene hos Arrow i UK.
Ligesom sidste års engelske udgivelse, så kommer der tre forskellige versioner - der er en 4K UHD limited edition og en limited edition kun med blu-ray, og så er der en tredje webstore exclusive version med et andet cover. Den sidste kan kun bestilles hos Arrows egen amerikanske webshop, mens de andre kan købes hos de fleste amerikanske forhandlere.
Hellraiser: Quartet of Torment udkommer på 4K UHD og BD i USA og Canada den 22. oktober.
UK/ US/ CAN - Trick 'r Treat (2007) - 4K UHD limited edition/ 4K UHD webstore exclusive limited edition - horrorfilmen Trick 'r Treat blev nærmest med det samme til en nyklassiker ved premieren og med sin veldrejede blanding af humor og skræk hyldes ofte som en af de bedste moderne antologifilm i genren.
Filmen har fået et nyt 4K-transfer, og Arrow genbruger alle extras fra de gamle blu-ray-udgivelser. Den limited edition har desuden et limited slipcover, en plakat, seks postkort og et hæfte. Flere extras vil blive afsløret senere.

UK/ US/ CAN - J-Horror Rising (1999-2007) - 4 x BD limited edition boks - asiatisk og især japansk horror væltede pludseligt ind i vesten i årene omkring årtusindskiftet og vakte stor begejstring både med deres effektive tilgang til genren og deres frisk udvalg af myter og historier. Film som Hideo Nakats Ring (1998) og Takashi Miiks Audition (1999) vakte først opsigt hos kunstfilmpublikummet, men krydsede hurtigt over til den brede mainstream, og asiatisk horror i almindelighed og japansk horror i særdeleshed dominerede genren i årtusindets første årti sammen med de vestlige torturfilm, før interessen ebbede ud og blev udskiftet med found footage i starten af 2010'erne.
Arrow har for længst udsendt de japanske hovedværker på blu-ray og endda opgraderet enkelte af dem, som netop Nakatas Ring, samme instruktørs Dark Water og Takashi Shimizus Ju-on-serie på 4K indenfor det sidste halvandet til to år. Men vi mangler stadigvæk at få mange af de mindre kendte film på blu-ray.
De har ofte været udgivet på dvd af selskaber som Tartan, der var store i dvd-tiden, men som ikke længere eksisterer, eller kun eksisterer som skygger af dem selv.
Arrow samler med denne boks syv mindre japanske horrorfilm fra perioden, som alle her for første gang udkommer i HD i vesten og flere af dem for første gang på disk overhovedet.
Boksen indeholder filmene: Shikoku (1999), Isola: Multiple Personality Girl (1999), Inugami (2000), St. John's Wort (2001), Carved: The Slit Mouthed Woman (2007), Persona (2001) og Noroi: The Curse (2005).
Mest kendte er nok St. John's Wort og Carved: The Slit Mouthed Woman, der begge fik flere dvd-udgivelser og begge nok bedst kan beskrives som blød mellemvare. Boksens store sensation er dog Noroi: The Curse. Det er en found footage-horrorfilm om en journalist, der forsvinder kort efter at have færdiggjort en dokumentarfilm om et dæmonisk væsen i en afsidesliggende landsby i Japan.
Instruktøren Kôji Shiraishi har også instrueret Carved: The Slit Mouthed Woman, men han omtales ofte for en lille stribe af effektive found footage-film, han lavede, med Noroi: The Curse som nok den mest kendte og måske bedste. Hverken Noroi: The Curse eller hans andre found footage-film har dog nogensinde været udsendt på disk i vesten, og de kendes mest fra ulovlige tjenester og, i Norois tilfælde, fra en meget eftertragtet engelskvenlig dvd-udgivelse i Asien. Derfor har Noroi: The Curse også i årevis været blandt de titler, man stort set altid ser nogen foreslå, når labels spørger deres kunder om, hvilke titler de gerne vil se fra dem.
Boksen indeholder naturligvis en del extras, en plakat og et hæfte med essays. Ingen af filmene ser ud til at have fået nye transfers, så man skal nok ikke forvente det store. Til gengæld er boksen billig - kun £45 for den engelske udgave.

UK/ US/ CAN - J-Horror Rising (1999-2007) - 4 x BD limited edition boks - asiatisk og især japansk horror væltede pludseligt ind i vesten i årene omkring årtusindskiftet og vakte stor begejstring både med deres effektive tilgang til genren og deres frisk udvalg af myter og historier. Film som Hideo Nakats Ring (1998) og Takashi Miiks Audition (1999) vakte først opsigt hos kunstfilmpublikummet, men krydsede hurtigt over til den brede mainstream, og asiatisk horror i almindelighed og japansk horror i særdeleshed dominerede genren i årtusindets første årti sammen med de vestlige torturfilm, før interessen ebbede ud og blev udskiftet med found footage i starten af 2010'erne.
Arrow har for længst udsendt de japanske hovedværker på blu-ray og endda opgraderet enkelte af dem, som netop Nakatas Ring, samme instruktørs Dark Water og Takashi Shimizus Ju-on-serie på 4K indenfor det sidste halvandet til to år. Men vi mangler stadigvæk at få mange af de mindre kendte film på blu-ray.
De har ofte været udgivet på dvd af selskaber som Tartan, der var store i dvd-tiden, men som ikke længere eksisterer, eller kun eksisterer som skygger af dem selv.
Arrow samler med denne boks syv mindre japanske horrorfilm fra perioden, som alle her for første gang udkommer i HD i vesten og flere af dem for første gang på disk overhovedet.
Boksen indeholder filmene: Shikoku (1999), Isola: Multiple Personality Girl (1999), Inugami (2000), St. John's Wort (2001), Carved: The Slit Mouthed Woman (2007), Persona (2001) og Noroi: The Curse (2005).
Mest kendte er nok St. John's Wort og Carved: The Slit Mouthed Woman, der begge fik flere dvd-udgivelser og begge nok bedst kan beskrives som blød mellemvare. Boksens store sensation er dog Noroi: The Curse. Det er en found footage-horrorfilm om en journalist, der forsvinder kort efter at have færdiggjort en dokumentarfilm om et dæmonisk væsen i en afsidesliggende landsby i Japan.
Instruktøren Kôji Shiraishi har også instrueret Carved: The Slit Mouthed Woman, men han omtales ofte for en lille stribe af effektive found footage-film, han lavede, med Noroi: The Curse som nok den mest kendte og måske bedste. Hverken Noroi: The Curse eller hans andre found footage-film har dog nogensinde været udsendt på disk i vesten, og de kendes mest fra ulovlige tjenester og, i Norois tilfælde, fra en meget eftertragtet engelskvenlig dvd-udgivelse i Asien. Derfor har Noroi: The Curse også i årevis været blandt de titler, man stort set altid ser nogen foreslå, når labels spørger deres kunder om, hvilke titler de gerne vil se fra dem.
Boksen indeholder naturligvis en del extras, en plakat og et hæfte med essays. Ingen af filmene ser ud til at have fået nye transfers, så man skal nok ikke forvente det store. Til gengæld er boksen billig - kun £45 for den engelske udgave.
