In April, ARROW presents an underrated psychosexual chiller from Robert Altman, cult classic horror Basket Case creaking open in 4K, lively episodes of the ARROW Video Podcast with Sam and Dan, and short films that will boggle your mind. Plus, the director of the Phantasm films chooses his favourite ARROW titles and steel yourself for the sensuous brilliance of Behind Convent Walls.
The streamer also features Robert Altman’s That Cold Day in the Park, a suspenseful tale of sexual repression starring Sandy Dennis (Academy Award® winner for Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?) as a woman who becomes obsessed with an enigmatic 19 year-old boy she sees sitting on a park bench. Vividly photographed by László Kovács (Easy Rider), and accompanied by a haunting score from Johnny Mandel, this is arguably the first true ‘Altman film’ – a stylish harbinger of the themes that would resonate through many of the director’s later masterpieces such as Images and 3 Women.
Also in April, Frank Henenlotter’s beloved slice of gruesome sleaze, Basket Case – where New York’s 1980s-era Times Square is brought to life in all its seedy glory in 4K via ARROW. Don’t miss this deliriously enjoyable low-budget classic, featuring the magnificent Belial, one of the most loveable and lethal creatures in horror history.

Venture into forbidden carnality in Behind Convent Walls, the lushly filmed exploration of the relationship between flesh and spirit from Polish provocateur Walerian Borowczyk (The Beast, Immoral Tales). Featuring striking cinematography by Luciano Tovoli (Suspiria), Behind Convent Walls is erotic, colourful and highly charged.
In April you can also listen to six episodes of the Arrow Video Podcast with Sam and Dan on ARROW, where they’ll discuss the delights of David Lynch’s Dune, the mad monster mayhem of Gamera: Guardian of the Universe, horror favourites Phantasm, Hellraiser, and Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, and the off-the-scale martial arts horror of The Boxer’s Omen.
