Arrow kicks off the latest round of releases on November 9 by continuing their recent venture in the 4K UHD Blu-ray world with the 4K release of Wes Craven’s classic The Hills Have Eyes. This story about a suburban family stranded in the desert where they become victims to a family of vicious cannibals has been a favorite of horror fans for years and now it can be enjoyed in the highest home video format possible. This limited-edition release includes both the original and alternate endings and comes with a 40-page booklet featuring writing on the film by critic Brad Stevens.

Sailor Suit and Machine Gun, an off-the-wall yakuza movie starring Japanese idol Hiroko Yashimaru as a delinquent high school girl that inherits her father’s yakuza clan hits Blu-ray on November 16. The film is a satirical twist on the yakuza genre mixed with a coming-of-age drama. This Arrow release is restored using a 4K scan of the original camera negative and includes the original theatrical release as well as the complete version of the film re-issued in 1982.

Richard Friedman’s beloved cult classic Phantom of the Mall: Eric’s Revenge makes its Blu-ray debut on November 23. This fun take on Gaston Leroux’s timeless novel moves the story to 1980s California where a young man that dies in a mysterious house fire returns a year later to terrorize the new mall built over the home where he met his ultimate demise. This outrageously bonkers film is sure to please fans of Arrow. The limited-edition 2-disc Blu-ray includes the original theatrical cut, TV cut, and bonus integral fan cut, making this mall one you’ll want to re-visit over and over again.

Arrow closes the month with some Italian flare on November 30. First up is Giallo Essentials [Red Edition]. This 3-disc set acts as the perfect giallo starter kit for new fans of the murder-mystery genre with a taste for stylized violence and memorable scores. Titles include The Possessed (1965), The Fifth Chord (1971), and The Pyjama Girl Case (1977). All three films are restored from their original camera negatives and presented with a brand new 2K transfer.

Also coming on November 30 is Mill of the Stone Women. This horror sci-fi mashup from director Giorgio Ferroni is about a professor that kidnaps women to steal their blood to help his sick daughter. Rather than dispose of the victim’s bodies, he turns them into macabre works of art. The film is notable for being the first Italian horror film shot in color. This limited-edition 2-disc set includes 4 different versions of this underappreciated gothic gem.

Toy Soldiers HD is now digitally available on Xbox One (playable on Xbox Series X I S), Steam, and PlayStation 4 (playable on PS5). Our Nintendo Switch version is close to release but needs additional polish. Our small team pushed hard to achieve a simultaneous release on all platforms. We apologize to Nintendo fans, we assure you that we are getting very close and will have a release date soon.

In the meantime, we are very excited to release Toy Soldiers HD on PS, Xbox, and Steam platforms. Toy Soldiers HD is the digital embodiment of our childhood imagination mixed with strategy and military action. WWI era toy soldiers and military vehicles locked in strategic combat filled with authentic sights and sounds.

Toy Soldiers HD is a diorama of military action set in a child’s bedroom, a library, lounge, and more. At your command are toy army soldiers, tanks, biplanes, bombers, machine guns, mortars, fixed upgradeable emplacements to defend your base from waves of increasingly challenging attacks. These ingredients make Toy Soldiers HD a lot of fun to play.

Like many strategy games, you carefully build your defenses and plot your offensive moves, but one of the things that makes Toy Soldiers HD unique is the ability to instantly pop in and out of the battlefield from both third-person top-down strategic perspective and first-person POV shooter perspective in both single and multiplayer. Watch the battle play out as you build, upgrade, and repair your defenses or jump feet first into it and wage war against your opponent. Don’t worry, when you go full first-person POV, AI takes over your units.

Authentic sights and sounds of WWI create an immersive experience. Toy Soldiers HD will include never-before played content, enhanced HD graphics (hence the name), and improved camera and sound. All previously released DLC will be included in the campaign flow.

Leading video game publisher and developer BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment America Inc. today released the latest cinematic horror experience in The Dark Pictures Anthology series, The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes. Alongside the game, a new trailer was released, wherein the game’s narrator–the Curator–welcomes players back to the Anthology and teases some of the horrific discoveries and life-or-death situations players will encounter.

The story of The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes takes place in Iraq, circa 2003. In the shadows of the Zagros mountains, Special Forces are hunting for weapons of mass destruction when they are attacked. The resulting firefight causes an earth tremor where both sides fall into the ruins of a buried Sumerian temple. With all communication severed, the game’s protagonists are trapped in a terrifying underworld they must navigate to escape, unaware that something ancient and evil has awakened in the shadows and has found a new prey to hunt. The story follows the five members of the cast as they are compelled to team up with their enemies from the world above to survive the monsters from the world below.

The Dark Pictures Anthology is a series of stand-alone, branching cinematic horror games designed to present a new terrifying experience on a regular basis. Each game will feature a brand-new story, setting, and new cast of characters. Experience moments of tension and terror alone in single player mode, with your friends through two player online shared story, or with up to five players in the couch-friendly movie night mode. The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes is the third game in the The Dark Pictures Anthology series which features stand-alone, cinematic branching horror games where the decisions players make determine the story they experience.

“The Dark Pictures Anthology has immersed players in a bone-chilling narrative adventure brimming with suspense,” said Kristeen Laut, Brand Manager at BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment America Inc. “With House of Ashes the next horrifically heart-pounding tale in The Dark Pictures Anthology we can’t wait for players to experience the latest story and invite them to get together with their loved ones to experience all the frights together either on the couch and through online co-op.”
