Arrow Video is going all out for Spooky Season with A Hero From Hell, A Killer Nun, Asian Nightmares and A Bestseller That Will Drive Society Insane. First up is Spawn based on Todd McFarlane’s groundbreaking comic book. Michael Jai White plays a CIA soldier who gets his soul sold the devil behind his back. He’s been recruited to lead a demon army, but first he needs to go back to Earth to get closure with his wife and revenge on the guy who had him damned. Ms .45 coming to 4K UHD is a dream come true. This is the film that made Abel Ferrera the King of New York before he made King of New York. Zoe Lund snaps after she’s been victimized twice and goes on a killing rampage around the Big Apple against creepy guys. The best moment is when she destroys the romantic bridge view park bench that Woody Allen glamorized in Manhattan. Ms .45 is essential exploitation viewing especially when Zoe dresses up as a Nun to shoot up a Halloween party.
Three / Three… Extremes has six Asian directors contributing to two different anthology films. There’s a lot of creepy stuff in each film. Dumplings might be the most disturbing of the shorts as an aging wife has an extreme treat to restore her beauty. Plus there’s shorts from Park Chan-wook (Oldboy) and Takashi Miike (Audition). This is a great batch of creepy tales. Finally there’s the 4K UHD premiere of John Carpenter’s In The Mouth of Madness. You’ll never read Sutter Cane again. The horror writer is hiding and not delivering his long-promised book. Sam Neill gets hired to track him down and get the manuscript. What he learns on his journey is where Sutter Cane gets his creativity. Here’s the press release from Arrow Video with all the details:

Mrs. Li (Miriam Yeung, Anna of Kung-Fu Land) wants to get rid of her wrinkles, so she visits the mystical Mei (Bai Ling, The Crow), whose rejuvenating dumplings contain a surprising secret ingredient. Directed by Park Chan-wook (Oldboy), “Cut” centers on the kidnapping of a director and his wife by an actor who had been an extra in his films. A novelist recalls her bizarre and abusive time in the circus with her sister for “Box” by director Takashi Miike (Audition).

Three / Three… Extremes [Limited Edition]
Two anthology films, six ghostly tales of terror, acclaimed directors from Hong Kong, Korea, Thailand and Japan. The ultimate omnibus of horror.
A trio of ghostly tales of terror, each from a different country, form the anthology Three. Initiated by acclaimed Hong Kong producer and director Peter Ho-Sun Chan, the film would prove highly influential in its innovative approach to pan-Asian horror, and lead to the shockingly compelling sequel, Three… Extremes. Dive into the ultimate omnibus of horror with both films lavishly restored and featuring a wealth of new and archival extras. Korean genre maestro Kim Jee-woon (A Tale of Two Sisters) opens Three with “Memories”, where a husband and wife with no memory of how they fell apart discover the terrifying truth behind their separation. In Thai filmmaker Nonzee Nimibutr’s (Nang Nak) tale of guilt and jealousy, “The Wheel”, a puppeteer fears his marionettes are possessed by the spirits of those he has wronged. Finally, in Peter Ho-Sun Chan’s “Going Home”, a widowed police officer and his young son move into a new apartment and uncover the chilling secret behind their new neighbor and his seemingly comatose wife. Three… Extremes’ unforgettable first story, “Dumplings”, directed by celebrated filmmaker Fruit Chan (Made in Hong Kong), sees an aging actor discover that the dumplings she’s been eating for their miraculous rejuvenating benefits contain an unsavory secret ingredient. Next, in Korean legend Park Chan-wook’s (Oldboy) segment “Cut”, a wealthy filmmaker is caught in a twisted game when a vindictive actor takes his wife hostage. Finally, Japanese Master of Horror Takashi Miike’s (Audition) segment, “Box”, sees a novelist plagued by nightmares of her past as a child circus performer with her long-lost twin sister, until she receives a mysterious invitation to return to the site of her old circus.
