Happy Thursday, everyone! On tap today is a brand new list of streaming recommendations that I have put together as part of our ongoing Indie Horror Month celebration. This time, we’re showcasing five fantastic films that are available to stream on the Arrow player and are well worth your time. One note: Clapboard Jungle doesn’t arrive on Arrow until the 19th, but I thought it was a perfect title to include here, so you just have to hang on a few days until you can finally check it out for yourself.

Read on for my Arrow indie horror recommendations and happy streaming!

The Bloodhound (Directed by Patrick Picard)

I just recently watched The Bloodhound for a discussion happening on an upcoming episode of Corpse Club, and it has just stuck with me over the last 10 days or so now. It’s a movie that I wasn’t even...

This is a good week to be a horror fan who collects home media, because we have some killer releases headed our way on Tuesday. Personally, I’ve been waiting ever so patiently for Scream Factory’s Collector’s Edition release of Paul W.S. Anderson’s Event Horizon, and my patience is finally going to pay off tomorrow, as not only are we getting a 4K scan of the film, but the Blu is also chock-full of special features I cannot wait to dig into. Scream Factory is also giving Julia Ducournau’s Raw a stateside Blu-ray release finally, and Arrow Video is showing some love to Patrick Picard’s The Bloodhound this week as well.

We also have two Steelbooks that will be available this Tuesday: Gattaca in 4K as well as the 40th anniversary release of Friday the 13th Part II, and if you need to play catch-up,...

The Bloodhound Release: "Arrow Video will release Patrick Picard’s debut feature The Bloodhound in the US and UK on VOD on March 15th, and BluRay on March 22nd, 2021

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”.

Francis, a dispossessed young man, is summoned to the secluded home of his wealthy childhood friend, Jp Luret, who is suffering from a mysterious affliction. Upon his arrival, Francis realizes that Jp and his ethereal twin sister Vivian 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.

A new take on Edgar Allan Poe’s "The Fall of the House of Usher," Patrick Picard's The Bloodhound is one of the January releases on Arrow Video's streaming service ahead of its Blu-ray release on March 23rd, and we've been provided with an exclusive clip to share with Daily Dead readers.

You can watch a disturbing dream come to life in our exclusive clip below, as well as details on Arrow's January lineup:

Press Release: London, UK - Arrow Video is excited to announce the January 2021 lineup of their new subscription-based Arrow platform, available now in the US and Canada, coming soon to the UK. Building on the success of the Arrow Video Channel and expanding its availability across multiple devices and countries, Arrow boasts a selection of cult classics, hidden gems and iconic horror films, all curated by the Arrow team.

The lineup begins with...

In 2021, the toll that isolation can take on mental health is understood better than ever before. it's particularly tough for those who have a tendency towards mental illness to begin with. Edgar Allan Poe's Fall Of The House Of Usher was one of the first works to explore the conjunction of these two factors from a modern perspective. It has been interpreted for the cinema several times, but Patrick Picard's stripped-down, 21st Century version is perfectly suited to the pandemic era.

Whilst the frame of the story remains, the names have been changed. We follow Francis (Liam Aiken) as he goes to visit his reclusive friend Jean Paul (Joe Adler) in the latter's remote home. Jean Paul's twin sister Vivian (Annalise Basso) is also present in the house but rarely glimpsed. Picard finds the crux of the story in the relationship between the two men. This brings the queer subtext.

Arrow Video will continue to bring an eclectic range of films to Blu-ray in 2021, with their March releases including a double feature Blu-ray of The Invisible Man Appears / The Invisible Man vs. The Human Fly, Patrick Picard's The Bloodhound (a new take on Edgar Allan Poe’s "The Fall of the House of Usher"), and a limited edition steelbook of An American Werewolf in London.

The Invisible Man Appears / The Invisible Man vs. The Human Fly Blu-ray: "Finally released outside Japan for the very first time, these unique riffs on H.G. Wells’ classic character (though undoubtedly also indebted to Universal’s iconic film series) are two of the earliest examples of tokusatsu (special effects) cinema from Daiei Studios, later the home of Gamera.

In The Invisible Man Appears, written and directed by Nobuo Adachi in 1949, a scientist successfully creates an invisibility serum, only to be kidnapped by a...

Promoted as a modern spin on Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Fall of the House of Usher,” sans any such onscreen accreditation, “The Bloodhound” does eke an atmosphere of suffocation and doom from one domestic interior — in this case, an impressive mid-century modernist manse whose stark clean lines seem to repel human warmth. Patrick Picard’s debut feature is more persuasive as a stylistic exercise than as horror or psychodrama, growing a bit arid even at just 72 terse minutes. But those with an affinity for genre material in a cryptic, ascetic arthouse mode may fall under its chilly spell, and even those who don’t may be curious to see what this writer-director does next. It’s part of Arrow Video’s December streaming lineup for the U.S. and Canada.

An opening text message summons Francis (Liam Aiken) to long-incommunicado friend Jean Paul (Joe Adler), who says he’s...
