The cult movie streamer is also highlighting creepy found footage flicks with the shaky-cam supernatural shockers Ghost Light, Kolobos, Grave Encounters and Grave Encounters 2.

Arrow gives horror shorts get some much-needed attention with Rejected, a genre parody featuring three macabre tales linked by an “antiquated digital camera from 1997”; 2023 Méliès D’or winner FROM.BEYOND, a practical FX extravaganza chronicling mankind’s first encounter with aliens; and They Called Me David, the emotional story of an artificially created being with incredible powers.

Beginning April 11, Arrow Player demonstrates that actions can have dire consequences in Capsules, The Cold, The Demons of Ludlow and The Visitants.

Award-winning film critic and author Alexandra Heller-Nicholas combs the Arrow archives to present a selection of underseen cult, horror and Giallo masterpieces, including Mirror, Mirror, Female Prisoner #701 Scorpion and The Red Queen Kills Seven Times.

On April 18, Arrow Player warns against the dangers of straying too far from the beaten path with three films about what happens when you venture into places you shouldn’t: Squeal, Xtro 3, Hide and Go Shriek and Hide & Seek
