Arrow Video Launches Stellar January Line-Up with Rampo Noir, Incubus, Inglourious Basterds, and The Cell

Arrow Video rings in January with four major releases, each fully restored and stacked with extras.

January 7 – Rampo Noir

Arrow Video debuts Rampo Noir, an anthology adapting stories by Edogawa Rampo. Directors Akio Jissôji, Atsushi Kaneko, Hisayasu Satô, and Suguru Takeuchi deliver twisted, obsession-driven tales that shift from primal and eerie to downright grotesque. Tadanobu Asano (Mortal Kombat) appears in all four segments, creating a nightmarish thread through the entire collection. This edition comes with audio commentary, filmmaker interviews, a stage greeting, a making-of documentary, an image gallery, and a booklet.

January 14 – Incubus

Incubus, starring William Shatner and spoken entirely in Esperanto, arrives restored in 4K from a rare surviving print. Director Leslie Stevens sets this horror tale in a remote place where sacred water is rumored to restore youth, but seductive demons are eager to lead travelers astray. Special features include audio commentaries, video interviews, a history of Esperanto, archival footage, and a collector’s booklet.

January 14 – Inglourious Basterds

Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds storms onto 4K UHD and Blu-ray with a full restoration. This alternate take on World War II follows Lt. Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt) and his squad of “Basterds” wreaking havoc on Nazi forces, while Shosanna (Mélanie Laurent) plots revenge in her Paris cinema. Extras include commentary, extended scenes, new interviews with the editor and crew, archival featurettes, a poster, postcards, a “Nation’s Pride” program replica, and a collector’s booklet.

January 21 – The Cell

Tarsem Singh’s visionary The Cell returns with 4K restorations of both the theatrical and director’s cut. Jennifer Lopez plays a psychologist who ventures into a serial killer’s mindscape to save his victim. The release comes with multiple commentaries, a new interview with Tarsem Singh, alternate aspect ratio presentation, cinematography interviews, essays, deleted scenes, effects breakdowns, trailers, and a collector’s booklet.
