INCUBUS - On Ltd Ed 4K UHD and Ltd Ed BD

Arrow deliver the extraordinary in January, with the release of a once-thought-lost cult classic, Leslie Stevens’ unique monochrome marvel Incubus, beautifully restored on Limited Edition 4K UHD and Limited Edition Blu-ray. 

Starring a pre-Star Trek William Shatner as a soldier encountering demonic seductresses, this is an eerie and unforgettable American folk horror from the creator of The Outer Limits. 

Scripted in the obscure Esperanto language, and stylishly filmed in Big Sur and other California locations by cinematographer (and future Academy Award winner) Conrad L. Hall, Incubus is a film unlike any other, now accompanied by hours of bonus features delving into the mysteries of this esoteric gem, and comes with a reversible sleeve and illustrated collector’s booklet.

THE GIFT - On Ltd Ed 4K UHD and Ltd Ed BD

Finally in January The Gift, where director Sam Raimi combined the spooky underpinnings of his early work with his newly proven talent for handling powerful drama in a supernatural thriller, coaxing nuanced performances from a star-studded cast to bring a gripping script by Billy Bob Thornton & Tom Epperson (One False Move) to life. 

With a cast including Cate Blanchett, Greg Kinnear, Katie Holmes, Keanu Reeves and Hilary Swank, and made right before a certain web-slinger finally catapulted Raimi from the cult fringes onto Hollywood’s A-list, The Gift is an underappreciated but vital entry in his filmography that is ripe for reappraisal with this brand new 4K remaster. 

With new commentaries and interviews, it comes with an illustrated collector’s booklet, a reversible sleeve, and a double-sided poster, and is available on Limited Edition 4K UHD and Limited Edition Blu-ray.
