Arrow Video has announced its August 2025 lineup for its subscription-based ARROW platform. This month’s lineup features another selection of new titles and rediscovered classics, and is headlined by the film “Hundreds of Beavers.”
ARROW is kicking off its August lineup on August 8 with “Here Kitty Kitty…,” a collection of hair-raising shockers that feature fearsome (and friendly) felines that are fixed for fright. Titles in the collection include “Nekromantik,” “At Midnight I’ll Take Your Soul,” and “The Gore Gore Girls.”
Also launching on August 8 are several new cult classics:
Lux Æterna: Gaspar Noé, the arch provocateur of New French Extremity responsible for “Irreversible” and “Enter the Void,” blurs the boundaries between reality and fiction in “Lux Æterna,” his ode to the suffering and sacrifices involved in the creation of art. French cinema icons Charlotte Gainsbourg (“Ismael’s Ghosts”) and Béatrice Dalle (“Betty Blue”), playing themselves, star as the lead actress and the director of an experimental film about witches. But as preparations for the shoot get underway, the increasingly chaotic production slowly unravels as egos and bitter resentments rise to the surface, threatening to derail the entire enterprise. Shot over just five days and largely improvised by the superlative cast, “Lux Æterna” is a powerful, hypnotic assault on the senses like no other, cementing Noé’s position as one of the most incendiary voices in cinema today.
Sator: Secluded in a desolate forest, a broken family is observed by Sator, a supernatural entity who is attempting to claim them.
100 Bloody Acres: “100 Bloody Acres” is an inspired horror-comedy about the Morgan brothers, Reg and Lindsay, who have bolstered their organic fertilizer business by adding a novel ingredient to their secret blend: human blood and bones. Until now, the brothers have relied on the dead victims of car accidents, but unfortunately, it’s been months since their last find, and a customer is impatiently waiting for delivery.
Breaking the Surface: During a winter dive on a remote part of the coast in Northern Norway, two sisters’ lives fall into danger; when a rockfall traps one of the sisters on the ocean floor, a battle against time begins in the middle of the wilderness.
On August 15, ARROW is serving up a season of “ARROW-me,” a collection of anime that is tough, nasty, and extreme, and very much not for kids. Filled with bizarre, beautiful images with stellar animation that’s influenced multiple generations in film, comics, gaming, and animation, ARROW is excited to bring some of the best of these anime films in an ongoing collection of the anime your parents didn’t want you to see! Titles include “Wicked City,” “Angel Cop,” and “Goku Midnight Eye.”
August 15 concludes with a trip through the ARROW archives with Tim Lucas in “Tim Lucas Selects.” Lucas is a multi-hyphenated figure in the entertainment industry, with highlights that include author of “Mario Bava – All the Colors of the Dark,” contributor to magazines such as Sight & Sound, Cinefantastique, and Fangoria, and audio commentator on more than 200 DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K releases worldwide.
“Arrow’s library of offbeat, peripheral, and gnostic cinema is such a rich trove that I could easily select any title at random and come up with another four that are related to it, by director or writer, actor or cinematographer, or in some still more subterranean way,” says Lucas. “Whatever you need from Arrow – a jukebox, a roller coaster, or a resource of higher education – it’s here for you, in plenty.”
Titles in Lucas’ curated collection include “Toys Are Not for Children,” “Season of the Witch,” and “The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Miss Osbourne.”
On August 22, smaller and craftier than Cocaine Bear, ARROW presents “Crackcoon,” a film about a raccoon on crack that terrorizes a mountain community.
The lineup concludes August 22 with the indie comedy “Hundreds of Beavers.” In the early 1800s, Jean Kayak, a drunken applejack salesman, finds himself stranded in a surreal winter landscape with nothing but his dim wits to guide him. Against a backdrop of ruthless elements and forest creatures – all played by actors in full-sized mascot costumes – Kayak develops increasingly complex traps in order to win the hand of a mischievous lover. When he discovers that the Beavers have formed their own secret society, he must infiltrate their lair to uncover their secrets and win the day.
