Other releases for May 4th include Rise of the Mummy, Why, The Midwife and a re-release DVD for Wes Craven’s Cursed.
For the Sake of Vicious
Romina, an overworked nurse and single mother returns home from her late shift on Halloween night to find a maniac hiding out with a bruised and beaten hostage.

Happy Thursday, everyone! On tap today is a brand new list of streaming recommendations that I have put together as part of our ongoing Indie Horror Month celebration. This time, we’re showcasing five fantastic films that are available to stream on the Arrow player and are well worth your time. One note: Clapboard Jungle doesn’t arrive on Arrow until the 19th, but I thought it was a perfect title to include here, so you just have to hang on a few days until you can finally check it out for yourself.
Read on for my Arrow indie horror recommendations and happy streaming!
The Bloodhound (Directed by Patrick Picard)
I just recently watched The Bloodhound for a discussion happening on an upcoming episode of Corpse Club, and it has just stuck with me over the last 10 days or so now. It’s a movie that I wasn’t even...

The spectral romance A Ghost Awaits (2020) will be available on Blu-ray May 4th from Arrow Video
You Are Not Alone.
An ingeniously unique and unpredictable combo of horror, humor and heart, A Ghost Waits is a DIY labor of love years in the making from first-time writer/director Adam Stovall and producer/star MacLeod Andrews.
Tasked with renovating a neglected rental home, handyman Jack quickly finds out why the tenants keep leaving in droves – this house is haunted. The ghost in question is Muriel (Natalie Walker), herself employed from beyond the veil to keep the home vacant. Against the odds, Jack and Muriel find they have a lot in common… pulse notwithstanding. Having found a kindred spirit in an otherwise lonely existence, they must fight for their newfound affection as pressure mounts for them each to fulfil their ‘cross-purposes’.
From its opening spectral assault to its achingly poignant conclusion – as...

A handyman cleaning up an empty house falls for a ‘spectral agent’ sent from the afterlife to scare away new residents
Chock full of delightful narrative surprises, imaginative genre tweaks, and warming performances from its two leads, this low-budget romcom-horror story is worth seeking out. Director Adam Stovall, who co-wrote the script with the film’s star MacLeod Andrews, makes an impressive feature debut with an obviously teensy budget. It’s smartly deployed to cover essentially one set, some theatrical makeup and kit for some fetching black-and-white cinematography that simultaneously recalls vintage-era spooky movies of the 30s as well as too-cool-for-school early Jim Jarmusch films such as Stranger Than Paradise.
Andrews’ protagonist Jack is a handyman who works for a property management company. His job is to check over houses for damage and do some light cleaning after tenants move out. However, it looks as if the former residents of an ordinary looking,...

"This one... is not afraid..." Arrow Video has released an official trailer for an indie horror sensation called A Ghost Waits, a big breakout hit from the genre film festival circuit last year. This super low budget indie flick is a cute horror romantic comedy of sorts. An ingeniously unique and unpredictable combo of horror, humor and heart, A Ghost Waits is a DIY labor of love years in the making from first-time writer/director Adam Stovall and producer/star MacLeod Andrews. A man's job requires him to clean a house, which turns out to be haunted. In the course of trying to exorcise the ghost, he falls in love with her. Starring MacLeod Andrews, Natalie Walker, Sydney Vollmer, and Amanda Miller. This is very creative and amusing to watch, but not great overall, in my opinion. Still worth a look if you're curious about this. You are not alone.

Sometimes a film come along that takes a simple idea and plays it out with such sweetness and sincerity, even through the medium of comedy, that it's impossible not to like. Adam Stovall's directorial début A Ghost Waits was a massive hit with the audience at this year's Glasgow Film Festival and it was no surprise when it was selected to play as part of the Frightfest main event. It's proof that horror doesn't always need to focus on thrills, chills or gore. There's room for a little playfulness and even for romance.
Jack (MacLeod Andrews) is not a man who has had a great deal of luck when it comes to romance. Perhaps it's his itinerant lifestyle that does it, as he travels from place to place to deep clean houses in preparation for sale, or perhaps he's just never met the right woman. The house he's been.

It’s Frightfest time again, and this year’s line-up ranges from romcoms to revenge to cannibal feasts. These are five of the films that will really give you something to chew on.

The Columnist
Do you believe in freedom of speech, no matter what? Femke (Katja Herbers) does. Do you think people on the internet should be able to say whatever they like about you and your loved ones? Femke most certainly does not. After a light-hearted column about the joy of a soft boiled egg prompts a particularly nasty wave of misogynist comments, she decides she’s going to do something about it. Ivo van Aart’s deft black comedy chronicles her bloody revenge spree whilst making smart observations about power, class and hypocrisy.
